Program Plan Intro

Validation of date input

Program plan:

  • Define the “leap_Year()” function,
    • Check whether the year is not divisible by "4",
      • If the condition is “True”, return “False”.
      • Otherwise, check whether the year is divisible by "100",
        • If it is “True”, check whether the year is divisible by "400",
          • If it is “True”, return “True”.
          • Otherwise, return “False”.
        • Otherwise, return “True”.
  • Define the “main()” function,
    • Execute the “try” statement to raise the exception if it is occurred.
      • Get the input from the user.
      • Split the user input based on "/" using “split()”.
      • Convert the string type inputs into integer type.
      • Check whether either the month is greater than “12” or day is greater than “12”,
        • If it is “True”, print the string “This date is invalid”
        • Otherwise, check whether the day is less than or equal to “28”,
          • If it is “True”, print the string as “This date is valid”.
          • Otherwise, check whether the month is "2" and "29",
            • If it is “True”, check whether the Boolean value return from “leap_Year()” is “False”.
              • If it is “True”, print “This date is invalid”.
              • Otherwise, print “This date is valid”.
            • Otherwise, check whether the day is “31”,
              • If it “True”, check whether the month is either "2" or "4" or "6" or "11",
              • If the above condition is “True”, print invalid.
              • Otherwise, print valid.
            • Otherwise, print “This date is valid”.
          • Catch the exception using “except ValueError” statement, if the exception of type “ValueError” occurs.
        • Handle the exception.
      • Catch the exception using “except” statement, if any type of exception occurs.
    • Call the function “main()”.
Program Description Answer

This Python program is to add decisions and exception handling as required making it truly robust.

Explanation of Solution

Program:

File name: “year.py”

#Define the function

def leap_Year(yr):

    #Check whether the year is not divisible by "4"

    if (yr % 4) != 0:

        #Return the boolean value

        return False

    #Otherwise

    else:

        #Check whether the year is divisible by "100"

        if (yr % 100) == 0:

            #Check whether the year is divisible by "400"

            if (yr % 400) ==0:

                #Return boolean value

                return True

            #Otherwise

            else:

                #Return boolean value

                return False

        #Otherwise

        else:

            #Return boolean value

            return True

#Define the function

def main():

    #Make a try

    try:

        #Get the input from the user

        date_Str = input("Enter a date in the form MM/DD/YYYY: ")

        #Split the user input based on "/" using split()

        month_Str, day_Str, year_Str = date_Str.split("/")

        #Convert the string into integer

        mon = int(month_Str)

        #Convert the string into integer

        d = int(day_Str)

        #Convert the string into integer

        yr = int(year_Str)

        #Execute the condition

        if mon > 12 or d > 31:

            #Print the string

            print("This date is invalid.")

        #Otherwise

        else:

            #Check whether the day is less than or equal to 28

            if d <= 28:

                #Print the string

                print("This date is valid.")

            #Check whether the month is "2" and "29"

            elif mon == 2 and d == 29:

                #Check whether the boolean value return from "leap_Year()" is "False"

                if leap_Year(yr) == False:

                    #Print the string

                    print("This date is invalid.")

                #Otherwise

                else:

                    #Print the string

                    print("This date is valid.")

            #Check whether the day is "31"

            elif d == 31:

                '''Check whether the month is either "2" or "4" or "6" or "11"'''

                if mon == 2 or 4 or 6 or 11:

                    #Print the string

                    print("This date is invalid")

                #Otherwise

                else:

                    #Print the string

                    print("This date is valid")

            #Otherwise

            else:

                #Print the string

                print("The date is valid.")

    #Catch the exception

    except ValueError:

        #Handle the exception

        print("Your input was not in the correct form.")

    #Catch the exception

    except:

        #Handle the exception

        print("Something went wrong!")

#Call the function

main()

Sample Output

Output:

Enter a date in the form MM/DD/YYYY: 02/30/2000

The date is valid.

>>>

Additional output:

Enter a date in the form MM/DD/YYYY: 02-05-2000

Your input was not in the correct form.

>>>

Additional output:

Enter a date in the form MM/DD/YYYY: 06/31/2000

This date is invalid

>>>

Objective: The objective of this assignment is to gain practice with pen testing a live web application running on a remote server. The live web application is a known vulnerable web application called DVWA (Damn Vulnerable Web Application) with security settings set to low. The web app is running on an AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instance running Ubuntu 22. Note: The point of this assignment is to step it up a notch, we learnt about different web application vulnerabilities and applied that knowledge, now we are going to pen test and enumerable the vulnerabilities of a web app + the underlying infrastructure it is running on. Before you begin please find out what your IP address is and place it in this sheet so that I can track who is doing what: IP Addresses.docx .
