Grey Areas ![Figure C: Fine engraving, Melancolia I, Albrecht Dürer, 1514.](image_link) 103 ## Introduction This chapter explores the concept of grey areas in various contexts. ### Key Concepts 1. **Ambiguity** - Definition: Ambiguity arises when a statement can have multiple meanings. - Examples: - "I saw the man with the telescope." - "The bank can refuse to lend money." 2. **Context Dependence** - Definition: The meaning of a statement often depends on the surrounding context. - Key Points: - Language is inherently fluid. ### Importance of Grey Areas - Understanding grey areas is crucial in fields such as law, ethics, and interpersonal communication. - It encourages critical thinking and deeper analysis. ### Conclusion In summary, grey areas are an integral part of human understanding and interaction. Recognizing them can lead to more thoughtful discussions and decisions. #################### File: A%20MACHINE%20MADE%20THIS%20BOOK%20ten%20sketches%20of%20computer%20science%20-%20JOHN%20WHITINGTON%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 180 Context: 166SolutionsChapter91Palatino2AVERSION3ConjectureChapter101hy-phen-a-tion2fund-raising3a-rith-me-tic(thenoun)4ar-ith-me-tic(theadjective)5dem-on-stra-tion #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 5 Context: # Foreword Long time ago (exactly Tuesday November 11th 2003 at 15:55:57 UTC), I received an e-mail with the following message: I thought of this as a simple word that the UVA team, you have given birth to a new CIVILIZATION and with the book you wrote the next: *Programming Challenges: The Programming Contest Training Manual*, co-authored with Steven Skiena, you inspire the seekers to carry on learning. May you live long to serve the humanity by producing super-human programmers! Although, this remark was an exaggeration, to tell the truth I started thinking a bit about and I had a dream: to create a community around the project I had started at the end of my teaching job at UVA, with students from everywhere around the world to work together after that initial. Just when this process seemed completely chaotic, I met a couple of guys who made it all work out, one of them, an extraordinary student from Indonesia and I started to believe that the dream would become real, a day became visible if we could walk the path together and we would still be looked straight in the eye, just like it was in the years gone by when it was most productive. As it turned out, there was a second person who had a touch of similar interest as me, who was of course, very busy, but could realize the necessity of what a real collaboration can do. Thanks to luck, destiny or at last, to power, we managed to put together the best of each to make the book, which is the result of our collective efforts. I can't imagine a better complement for the UVA Online Judge system, as we needed more examples from these carefully selected and categorized problems by problem type and solving techniques, as well as it created help for the rest of the world out there, who are ambitious and willing to learn! It is worth to note that there are close to 500 problems included in this book, which are directly from the problem sets from educational UVA Online Judge contests. Then it’s time for the book *Competitive Programming: Increase the Lower Bound of Programming Skills* to give hands on practice to future programmers who want to improve their skills. Because it helps to realize two things. First, it’s an amazing source of knowledge on the subject, but second, it provides a path full with warm and welcoming UVA Online Judge. If you plan to practice practical C++ source codes to improve the given algorithms. Someone well versed in this domain is thinking, “but this book is not for everyone”, but every time you will read about practical C++ coding at the same time, you will realize that you are a much better programmer and, more important, a more happy person. --- Miguel A. Revilla, University of Valladolid UVA Online Judge Chair, ACM/ICPC International Steering Committee Member and Problem Archivist [http://uva.onlinejudge.org](http://uva.onlinejudge.org) | [http://livearchive.onlinejudge.org](http://livearchive.onlinejudge.org) #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 6 Context: # Preface This book is a must-have for every competitive programmer to master during their middle phase of their programming career if they wish to take a leap forward from being just another ordinary coder to being among one of the top finest programmers in the world. Typical readers of this book would be: 1. University students who are competing in the annual ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) and Regional Contests (including the World Finals). 2. Secondary or High School Students who are competing in the annual International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) [2] (including the National level). 3. Coaches who are looking for comprehensive training material for their students [3]. 4. Anyone who loves solving problems through competitive programming. There are numerous programming contests for those who are no longer eligible for ICPC like the TopCoder Open, Google CodeJam, International Problem Solving Contest (IPSC), etc. ## Prerequisites This book is not written for novice programmers. When we wrote this book, we set it for readers who have basic knowledge in basic programming methodologies, familiar with best practices of programming and algorithms (C/C++ or Java, preferably C++), and have passed basic data structures and algorithms courses typically taught in year one of Computer Science university curriculum. ## Specific to the ACM ICPC Contestants We have found that some people who join the ACM ICPC regional just by mastering the existing problem sets of the book. While we have included a lot of materials in this book, we are aware that participants may use this book as a reference for various contests and programming practices in the future. ### Specific to the IOI Contestants Same preface as above but with this additional Table 1. This table shows a list of topics that are currently included in the IOI syllabus [10]. You can skip these items until you enter into your university's ACM ICPC team. However, learning them in advance may be beneficial as some harder tasks in IOI may require some of these knowledge. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 7 Context: ``` # CONTENTS *Stevens & Felg* ## Topic | Data Structures: Union-Find Disjoint Sets | |-------------------------------------------| | Graphs: Prims, Dijkstra, Max Flow, Bipartite Graph | | Data Analysis: Probability, Non Games, Matrix Formers | | String Processing: Suffix Tree/Array | | More Advanced Topics: A*/Dijkstra | **Table 1:** Not in IOI Syllabus | [ ] Yet --- We know that one cannot win a medal in IOI just by mastering the current versions of this book. While we believe that parts of the IOI syllabus have been included in this book, which should give you a respectable base for future IOIs - we are well aware that not IOI books require more problem solving skills and creativity that we cannot teach via this book. So, keep practicing! --- ## Specific to the Teachers/Coaches This book is based on Steven's CS3232 - 'Competitive Programming' course in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. It is contributed to its teaching teams using the following lesson plan (see Table 2). The PDF slides (only the public versions) can be found in the companion website of this book. This lesson plan contains the various exercises in this book as seen in Appendix A. Fellow teachers/coaches are free to modify the lesson plan to suit your students' needs. | Wk | Topic | In This Book | |----|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | 01 | Introduction | Chapter 1 | | 02 | Data Structures & Libraries | Chapter 2 | | 03 | Combinatorial Search, Divide & Conquer, Greedy | Section 3.2.4 | | 04 | Dynamic Programming (1: Basic Ideas) | Section 3.2.3 | | 05 | Graphs (1: DFS/BFS) | Chapter 4 | | 06 | Graphs (2: Shortest Paths, Dijkstra) | Section 4.4.5 - 4.17.2 | | 07 | Mid semester break contact | | | 08 | Dynamic Programming (2: More Techniques) | Section 6.3.4 | | 09 | Graphs (3: Max Flow; Bipartite Graph) | Section 6.4.3, 4.7.4 | | 10 | Mathematics (Overview) | Chapter 5 | | 11 | String Processing (Basics, Suffix Array) | Chapter 6 | | 12 | Computational Geometry (Libraries) | Chapter 7 | | | Final exam content | All, including Chapter 8 | **Table 2:** Lesson Plan --- ## To All Readers Due to the diversity of this content, this book is not meant to be read once, but several times. There are exercises that can be skipped at first if the content is too intense at that point of time, but the reader is encouraged to come back and revisit numerous sections when the concepts are more settled. While we strive to present the concepts in this book in a clear, intuitive manner, there are twists we cannot always predict. Make sure to attempt them alone. We believe that this book should lead the aspiring student towards the logical standards as IPC will lead them to the appropriate programming problems. This book is intended for proficient personnel in the field before facing more challenges after mastering this book. But before you assume anything, please check this book's table of contents to see what we mean by "basic". ``` #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 11 Context: # Authors’ Profiles ## Steven Halim, PhD¹ stevenhalim@gmail.com Steven Halim is currently a lecturer in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (S.C., NUS).

Early on, as an ICPC coach (2008-2011), he has seen his first baby during the time the second edition of this book is released. ## Felix Halim, PhD Candidate² felix.halim@gmail.com Felix Halim is currently a PhD student in the same University: SoC, focusing on programming contests. He has a more active role participating in his ICPC teams during that time. Bin Shamsul and he obtained good ranks in the 2012 contest, placing 17th and obtaining recognition from ICPC ranking, 6th and 16th respectively. Then, in his senior years, he also helped the ACM ICPC (Regional 2016-2018) as a contestant, having won ACM ICPC World Finals 6 Takay 2017 (Hokkaido-Met), excuse rating as a yellow color. # Copyright No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, scanning, uploading to any information storage and retrieval system. - *“PhD Thesis: An Integrated Writer-Black Box Approach for Designing and Training Student's Local Search Algorithms”* - *“Research area: Large Scale Data Processing.”* #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 17 Context: # Chapter 1 ## Introduction I want to compete in ACM ICPC World Finals! — A dedicated student ### 1.1 Competitive Programming ‘Competitive Programming’ in summary, is this: “Given well-known Computer Science (CS) problems, solve them as quickly as possible!” Let’s digest the terms as we use them. The term ‘well-known CS problems’ implies that in competitive programming, we are dealing with solved CS problems and not research problems (where the solutions are still unknown). Definitely, some people (at least the problem authors) have solved these problems before. Even their insightful working notes that we must parse our CS knowledge to a certain extent to help us solve the same problem setting using the same problem setter's score for point. “As quickly as possible” implies that we are dealing with a very natural human behavior. Please note that being well-versed in competitive programming is not the end goal. It is just the process. The true goal is to provide all-time competitive standards for programmers who are eager to produce better software or to tackle harder CS problems in the future. The founders of ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) have this vision in mind for programmers to get help. With this book, we play our small role in inspiring students and future practitioners to become competent in dealing with well-known CS problems frequently framed in the recent ICPC and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI). ### Illustration on Solving UVA Online Judge [38] Problem Number 1091 (Retrieving Quiz Teams) #### Abridged Problem Description: Let \( n \) be the number of a student's teams in a 20 player. There are \( 2n \) students and we want to pair them into \( n \) groups. Let \( d_i \) be the distance between the indices of two students who support it. If \( d_i \) is growing such that \( d_1 + d_2 + ... + d_n \) is minimized, we can calculate it as \( n \) such as \( d = 2 \cdot \sqrt{n} \). ##### Sample Input: ``` 2 3 1 4 2 5 6 1 3 9 6 ``` ##### Sample Output: ``` 2 - 0 5 - 2 ``` > *“Some programming competitions are done in teams setting to encourage teamwork as software engineers usually do when building the actual software.”* > By studying the actual data from the problem statements, competitive programmers examine the problems before they can solve them. This endeavor leads to finding a pool of problems based on that premise, with software that the representatives of the respective companies have to test to make sure the software meets the requirements set by the customers.* #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 29 Context: # 1.3 Getting Started: The Ad Hoc Problems *Stevens & Felg* We will start this chapter by asking you to solve the first problem type in ICPCs and IOIs: the Ad Hoc problems. According to [USACO, 29], Ad Hoc problems are problems that cannot be classified anywhere else, where each problem description and its corresponding solution are "unique." Ad Hoc problems are always appear in a programming contest. Using a benchmark of total problems, the first problem should be the easiest problem in an ICPC. If the problem is easy, it will be possible for the first problem assigned to be trivial in a programming context. But there exists Ad Hoc problems that are complicated to solve but seem trivial at first. For example, in the 2001 and 2002 ICPC, the first problem (day 1, problem A) was trivial, but in 2003 and 2004, the first task for each competition day started as only subtask 1. If you are in an ICPC with no straightforward problems, you will end up with only 3–5 challenging tasks. We believe that you can solve most of these problems yourself using advanced data structures or algorithms that will be discussed in the later chapters. Many of these Ad Hoc problems are "simple" but can be somewhat "tricky." Now, try to solve problems from each category before reading the next section! ## The categories: 1. **(Super) Easy** - You should start these problems **AC** in under 7 minutes each! - If you are just starting competitive programming, we strongly recommend that you start your journey by solving some problems from this category. 2. **Game (Card)** - There are a few Ad Hoc problems involving game theory. The first game type is related to cards. Usually you will need to parse the string input as normal cards (suits such as ♠, ♥, ♦, ♣). For example, inputs might include `2H`, `7D`, and `3S` applying to the usual rules: - 2 ≤ A, 3 ≤ 2, 3 ≤ Q, A ≤ K - It may be a good idea to map these complicated strings to integer values. For example, consider mappings to: - `2 ⇒ 3, 3 ⇒ 1, DA ⇒ 10, CA ⇒ 11, C3 ⇒ 12, H3 ⇒ 14, SA ⇒ 5, H1 ⇒ 13` 3. **Game (Chess)** - Another popular games that students express in programming contest problems are chess games. Some forms of Ad Hoc (listed in this section) don’t contain chess rules. Before you begin, note how many ways you can put queens in \( S \times S \) chess board (listed in Chapter 3). 4. **Game (Other)** - Other cards and game games, there are many other popular problems discussed that build on the fundamental tie-in to programming contest problems. The To-Do, Road-Paper-Stones, Graph-Makers, BINGO, Bursting, and many others. Keeping the details of these simple, notes of all of the rules and their uses are given in the problem description to avoid classifying contestants who have played these games before. Remember, you can read but you will not do it for others. Once you have read this section, don’t forget to try these problems and indeed super easy, "In some other arrangements, A < Z." #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 30 Context: # 1.3 GETTING STARTED: THE AD HOC PROBLEMS © Steven & Felix - **The Josephus-type problems** The Josephus problem is a classic problem where there are people numbered from 1, 2, ..., n, standing in a circle. Every nth person is to be executed. Only the last remaining person will be saved. This problem is often referred to as the "Josephus" problem. The smaller versions of this problem can be solved with plain brute force. The larger ones require better solutions. - **Problems related to Palindrome or Anagram** These are also classic problems. Palindrome is a word (or eventually a sequence) that can be read the same way in either direction. The common strategy to check if a word is a palindrome is to loop from the first character to the middle and check if the first matches the last, the second matches the second last, and so on. Example: `A man, a plan, a canal: Panama` is a palindrome. Anagram is a rearrangement of letters of a word (or phrase) to get another word (or phrase) using all of the original letters. The common strategy to think of two words as anagrams is to sort the letters of the words and compare the sorted letters. Example word: `tap`, world created: `pat`. After sorting, `tap` -> `apt` and `pat` -> `apt`, so they are anagrams. - **Interesting Real Life Problems** This is one of the most interesting categories of problems in UVA online judge. We believe that the real life problems are more interesting for those who are new to Computer Science. We feel that more programs to solve real problems is an extra motivator. Who knows, you may also learn some new interesting knowledge from the problem description! - **Ad Hoc problems involving Time** Date, time, calendar, etc. All these are also real life problems. As said earlier, people usually get extra motivational when dealing with real life problems. Some of these problems will be taste for you, especially if you have mastered the Java GeorginaCalendar class as it has lots of library functions to deal with time. - **Just Ad Hoc** Even after efforts to establish the Ad Hoc problems, there are still many others that are also problems involving the specific sub-category. The problems listed in this sub-category are ad hoc problems. The solution for such problems is to simply follow/understand the problem description carefully. - **Ad Hoc problems in other chapters** There are many other Ad Hoc problems which spread to other chapters, especially because they require more knowledge on top of basic programming skills. - **Ad Hoc problems involving the usage of basic linear data structures, especially arrays** are listed in Section 2.1. - **Ad Hoc problems involving mathematical computations** are listed in Section 5.2. - **Ad Hoc problems involving processing of strings** are listed in Section 6.3. - **Ad Hoc problems involving basic geometry skills** are listed in Section 7.2. Types of Ad Hoc problems can number of programming problems, you will encounter some patterns. From C/C++ programming, these patterns are: limits to be blocked (arrays, multi, string, etc.), how to define and limit array, how to list (etc.) and how to filter (list, map, and sort). Also, Python has defined MLOP (e.g. for (x in C), for (x in (1..n), etc.), etc.), how to define and sort. A specific programming task in C/C++ can be listed in a basic example, if he decided that he wants to solve another problem, he just need to open a new `.c` or `.cpp` file and type `#include `. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 33 Context: ``` 1.3 GETTING STARTED: THE AD HOC PROBLEMS © Steven & Felix 1.

This tool is crafted to help UVa users in keeping track which problems they have (and have not) solved. Considering that UVa has over 2500 problems, today's programmers indeed need a tool like this (see Figure B.1). ![Figure B.1: Steven's statistics as of 1 August 2011](path/to/image.png) The original version of uHunt (that stands for UVa hunting) is to help UVa users in finding the 20 easiest problems for such users. The user needs to be informed about the level of problems they need to build up their confidence; they need to solve problems with gradual difficulty. This is particularly important because the 1326 UVa users actually contribute added information if their solutions are accepted or not. The graph shown above illustrates the acceptance statistics of AC (Accepted) vs. WA (Wrong Answer) over a different set of AC problems. uHunt is a tool that also allows users to track problems that AC solves just to provide a sense of where to begin solving programming contests. The advantages of having a tool like this is that users can see a clear and concise way to handle AC codes. Just because you solved one problem does not mean you’re an expert at all AC codes! Users should also recognize that there could also be significant differences among the distinct AC codes. Today’s students should be aware that the performance of the problems arises from various factors, such as authors, difficulty of the problem, and other characteristics. Hence, if you have a coder with similar backgrounds and you solved a much higher number of problems than him/her, then try to solve the problems that your rival can solve. #################### File: Competitive%20Programming%2C%202nd%20Edition%20-%20Steven%20Halim%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 242 Context: ![Figure B.2: Hunting the next easiest problem using 'daó'](path/to/image1) Another new feature since 2010 is the integration of the 1198 programming exercises from this book (see Figure B.3). Now, users can customize their training programs to solve problems of similar type. We also give stars (★) to problems that we consider as must try (up to 3 problems per category). ![Figure B.3: The programming exercises in this book are integrated in uHunt](path/to/image2) Building a web-based tool like uHunt is a computational challenge. There are over 909867 submissions from 112967 users (or submission entries). The statistics and ranking need to be updated frequently and such a system must be fast. To deal with this challenge, Felix uses lots of advanced data structures (some are beyond this book), e.g., database cracking 116, Ruwix lists, data compression, etc. As seen in Figure B.4, the two major milestones that we are really proud of are: Felix’s intensive training to eventually win ACM ICPC Kaohsiung 06 and Steven’s intensive problem-solving activity in the past ten years (2000-present) to prepare this book. ![Figure B.4: Steven's & Felix's progress in UVa online judge (2000-present)](path/to/image3) 226 #################### File:

sequence of chapters for a short introductory course. Depending on the length of the instruction period, the background of students, and your interests, you may select subsets of chapters to teach in various sequential orderings. For example, if you would like to give only a short introduction to students on data mining, you may follow the suggested sequence in Figure P.1. Notice that depending on the need, you can also omit some sections or subsections in a chapter if desired. Depending on the length of the course and its technical scope, you may choose to selectively add more chapters to this preliminary sequence. For example, instructors who are more interested in advanced classification methods may first add "Chapter 9: Classification: Advanced Methods;" those more interested in pattern mining may choose to include "Chapter 7: Advanced Pattern Mining"; whereas those interested in OLAP and data cube technology may like to add "Chapter 4: Data Warehousing and Online Analytical Processing" and "Chapter 5: Data Cube Technology." Alternatively, you may choose to teach the whole book in a two-course sequence that covers all of the chapters in the book, plus, where time permits, some advanced topics such as graph and network mining. Material for such advanced topics may be selected from the companion chapters available from the book's web site, accompanied with a set of selected research papers. Individual chapters in this book can also be used for tutorials or for special topics in related courses, such as machine learning, pattern recognition, data warehousing, and intelligent data analysis. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, suitable as assigned homework. The exercises are either short questions that test basic mastery of the material covered, longer questions that require analytical thinking, or implementation projects. Some exercises can also be used as research discussion topics. The bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter can be used to aid in the research literature related to this topic and methods presented, in-depth treatment of related topics, and possible extensions. ## To the Student We hope that this textbook will spark your interest in the ever fast-evolving field of data mining. We have attempted to present the material in a clear manner, with careful explanation of the topics covered. Each chapter ends with a summary describing the main points. We have included many figures and illustrations throughout the text to make the book more enjoyable and reader-friendly. Although this book was designed as a textbook, we have tried to organize it so that it will also be useful to you as a reference. #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 28 Context: # Preface ## Figure P.1 A suggested sequence of chapters for a short introductory course. --- Depending on the length of the instruction period, the background of students, and your interests, you may select subsets of chapters to teach in various sequential orderings.

However, the shorter term, **knowledge mining** may not reflect the emphasis on mining from large amounts of data. Nevertheless, mining is a vivid term characterizing the process that finds a small set of precious nuggets from a great deal of raw material (Figure 1.3). Thus, such a misnomer carrying both "data" and "mining" became a popular choice. In addition, many other terms have a similar meaning to data mining—for example, *knowledge mining from data*, *knowledge extraction*, *data/pattern analysis*, *data archaeology*, and *data dredging*. Many people treat data mining as a synonym for another popularly used term, **knowledge discovery from data**, or **KDD**, while others view data mining as merely an essential step in the process of knowledge discovery. The knowledge discovery process is shown in Figure 1.4 as an iterative sequence of the following steps: 1. **Data cleaning** (to remove noise and inconsistent data) 2. **Data integration** (where multiple data sources may be combined)¹ ¹ A popular trend in the information industry is to perform data cleaning and data integration as a preprocessing step, where the resulting data are stored in a data warehouse. #################### File: Data%20Mining%20Concepts%20and%20Techniques%20-%20Jiawei%20Han%2C%20Micheline%20Kamber%2C%20Jian%20Pei%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 43 Context: # Chapter 1 Introduction ![Figure 1.3 Data mining—searching for knowledge (interesting patterns) in data.](image_url) Data mining, appropriately named "knowledge mining from data," which is unfortunately somewhat long.

In particular, it will be noted that in each of the chapters on the conic sections questions relating to tangents to the conic are treated in the latter part of the chapter. This arrangement allows for those subjects being omitted for the shorter course if desired. Sections which may be omitted without breaking the sequence of the work, and the omission of which will allow the student to acquire a good working knowledge of the subject in a single half year are as follows: - 46–35, 56–62, 121–134, 145–163, 178–197, 225–245, and part or all of the chapters on solid geometry.

Nature of Analytic Geometry The chief features of analytic geometry which distinguishes it from elementary geometry are its method and its results. The results will be found as we proceed, but the method of procedure may be indicated briefly at once. This method consists of indicating by algebraic symbols the position of a point, either fixed or in motion, and then applying to these symbols the processes of algebra. Without as yet knowing how this is done, we can at once see that with the aid of all the algebraic processes with which we are familiar we shall have a very powerful method for exploring new domains in geometry, and for making new applications of mathematics to the study of natural phenomena. The idea of considering not merely fixed points, as in elementary geometry, but also points in motion is borrowed from a study of nature. For example, the ball B thrown into the air follows a certain curve, and the path of a plane A traveling in space is also a curve, although a circle. ## 5. Point on a Map The method by which we indicate the position of a point in a plane is substantially identical with the familiar method employed in map drawing. To state the position of a place on the surface of the earth we give in degrees the distance of the place east or west of the prime meridian, that is, the longitude of the place; and then we give in degrees the distance of the place north or south of the equator, that is, the latitude of the place. For example, if the curve NGAS represents the prime meridian, a meridian arbitrarily chosen and passing through Greenwich, and if 14° B represent the equator, the position of a place P is determined if 14° AB and 2° BP are known. If AB = 70° and BP = 48°, we may say that P is 70° east and 48° north, or 70° E and 48° N. ``` #################### File: BIOS%20Disassembly%20Ninjutsu%20Uncovered%201st%20Edition%20-%20Darmawan%20Salihun%20%28PDF%29%20BIOS_Disassembly_Ninjutsu_Uncovered.pdf Page: 2 Context: Preface BIOS DISASSEMBLY NINJUTSU UNCOVERED – THE BOOK For many years, there has been a myth among computer enthusiasts and practitioners that PC BIOS (Basic Input Output System) modification is a kind of black art and only a handful of people can do it or only the motherboard vendor can carry out such a task. On the contrary, this book will prove that with the right tools and approach, anyone can understand and modify the BIOS to suit their needs without the existence of its source code. It can be achieved by using a systematic approach to BIOS reverse engineering and modification. An advanced level of this modification technique is injecting a custom code to the BIOS binary. There are many reasons to carry out BIOS reverse engineering and modification, from the fun of doing it to achieve higher clock speed in overclocking scenario, patching certain bug, injecting a custom security code into the BIOS, up to commercial interest in the embedded x86 BIOS market. The emergence of embedded x86 platform as consumer electronic products such as TV set-top boxes, telecom-related appliances and embedded x86 kiosks have raised the interest in BIOS reverse engineering and modification. In the coming years, these techniques will become even more important as the state of the art bus protocols have delegate a lot of their initialization task to the firmware, i.e. the BIOS. Thus, by understanding the techniques, one can dig the relevant firmware codes and understand the implementation of those protocols within the BIOS binary. The main purpose of the BIOS is to initialize the system into execution environment suitable for the operating system. This task is getting more complex over the years, since x86 hardware evolves quite significantly. It’s one of the most dynamic computing platform on earth. Introduction of new chipsets happens once in 3 or at least 6 month. This event introduces a new code base for the silicon support routine within the BIOS. Nevertheless, the overall architecture of the BIOS is changing very slowly and the basic principle of the code inside the BIOS is preserved over generations of its code. However, there has been a quite significant change in the BIOS scene in the last few years, with the introduction of EFI (extensible Firmware Interface) by several major hardware vendors and with the growth in OpenBIOS project. With these advances in BIOS technology, it’s even getting more important to know systematically what lays within the BIOS. In this book, the term BIOS has a much broader meaning than only motherboard BIOS, which is familiar to most of the reader. It also means the expansion ROM. The latter term is the official term used to refer to the firmware in the expansion cards within the PC, be it ISA, PCI or PCI Express. So, what can you expect after reading this book? Understanding the BIOS will open a new frontier. You will be able to grasp how exactly the PC hardware works in its lowest level. Understanding contemporary BIOS will reveal the implementation of the latest bus protocol technology, i.e. HyperTransport and PCI-Express. In the software engineering front, you will be able to appreciate the application of compression technology in the BIOS. The most important of all, you will be able to carry out reverse engineering using advanced techniques and tools. You will be able to use the powerful IDA Pro disassembler efficiently. Some reader with advanced knowledge in hardware and software might even want to “borrow” some of the algorithm within the BIOS for their own purposes. In short, you will be on the same level as other BIOS code-diggers. This book also presents a generic approach to PCI expansion ROM development using the widely available GNU tools. There will be no more myth in the BIOS and everyone will be able to learn from this state-of-the-art software technology for their own benefits.
