The goal is to implement a PDF signing process in which the server (.NET Core service) provides the hash to be signed to the client on request (Electron). The client then signs the given hash using a private key obtained from a smart card through a PKCS#11 interface. The signature is then sent back to the server for attaching into the PDF file using iTextSharp.
The process of signing the hash with the smart card token is pretty much straightforward with node-webcrypto-p11 at the moment (with a lot of trial and error needed to get here). The algorithm used is RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5. I can successfully sign the hash and verify it afterwards.
I recently built on my previous implementation with the help of External signing PDF with iTextsharp (3) where I used getAuthenticatedAttributeBytes for getting the hash to be signed (as suggested by mkl).
On reviewing the signature in Acrobat Reader, I am presented with the dreaded document altered/corrupted, same as the OP pgkdev. As mentioned above the client-side is straightforward with the signing process and I do not suspect any problems arising there (I am open for review of that though).
pgkdev referred to Priyanka's question, where I found out that I am probably having issues regarding the 2-step process of signing the document in which the hash values are no longer the same.
If you check Grazina's question we can see that such an implementation is successful, when you do the process in one step.
mkl further mentions a way to do it successfully in 2 steps, but I am missing some more explanation on how exactly to achieve that.
Note: There is no way for me (that I know of) to do what I want in 1 step, as the signing is initiated by a client in an Electron app.

EDIT: Hashing authenticatedAttributeBytes and then returning that hash to be signed by the client.
Tried 3 different ways of hashing, with same result:
PdfHash = DigestAlgorithms.Digest(new MemoryStream(authenticatedAttributeBytes), messageDigest)
PdfHash = SHA256.Create().ComputeHash(authenticatedAttributeBytes)
PdfHash = SHA256Managed.Create().ComputeHash(authenticatedAttributeBytes)
Usage of GetPDFHash
byte[] bytesToSign = GetPDFHash(Path.Combine(_configuration["documentFileSystemStore:DocumentFolder"], "SignMeMightySigner.pdf"), Convert.FromBase64String(dto.base64certificateValue));
Usage of SignPDFHash
SignPDFHash(Path.Combine(_configuration["documentFileSystemStore:DocumentFolder"], "SignMeMightySigner.pdf"),Convert.FromBase64String(dto.base64signature), Convert.FromBase64String(dto.base64certificateValue));
EDIT (29.3.2020):
I have checked my client side and can't find anything problematic. I choose the RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 alg to get the signature and verify it successfully afterwards. In some other questions I found that it could be a problem with transferring the byte array between the server and client, but I have checked and the values are the same, both base64 and the byte array.
Decided to open the PDF in a text editor and compare it to a regularly signed PDF (same text content, just signed directly through Adobe Reader).
What bothers and worries me, is that the PDF signed with iText is missing a huge chunk of "text" inside, that the directly signed one has.
Is there anything else I can provide for possible further analysis? I have seen a trend of people on Stack Overflow not being able to get past this problem, some even giving up on it completely. I do not want and can not do that and want to get to the bottom of it.

The signature bytes (decoded from base64) match the logged uint8array on client side.
Your original code
In MyExternalEmptySignatureContainer.Sign you correctly determine the authenticated attributes using the naked hash of the PDF range stream:
var authenticatedAttributeBytes = sgn.getAuthenticatedAttributeBytes(messageHash, null, null, CryptoStandard.CMS);
Inspecting your example file, though, I find that the signed Message Digest attribute contains the hash embedded in a DigestInfo object, in other works with the sha256Prefix you apply to a copy of the message digest in MyExternalEmptySignatureContainer.Sign.
Apparently, therefore, when you re-create the autheticated attributes in MyExternalSignatureContainer.Sign
return sgn.GetEncodedPKCS7(this.Hash, null, null, null, CryptoStandard.CMS);
you do so with the wrong value in this.Hash. This has two effects, on one hand obviously the value of the Message Digest attribute now is incorrect and on the other hand the signature value created for the original, correct authenticated attributes does not match your incorrect ones. Thus, the resulting PDF signature is doubly incorrect.
To fix this use the correct hash value here, the hash of the PDF range stream without that prefix.
As you don't show how exactly you use your methods GetPDFHash and SignPDFHash, I cannot pinpoint the error more precisely.
Your updated code
Indeed, now the correct hash is in the Message Digest attribute but the signature still signs a wrong hash, in case of your new example:
Signed Attributes Hash: 54B2F135A542EEAA55270AB19210E363D00A7684405403E89B170591A7BCAB5F
Decrypted signature digest: 22D906E686A83FA1A490895A21CD6F9A9272C13FB9B16D8A6E862168458F3640
The cause probably is that the contents of your MyExternalEmptySignatureContainer property PdfHash is not a hash but the complete authenticated attributes bytes, cf. MyExternalEmptySignatureContainer.Sign:
var authenticatedAttributeBytes = sgn.getAuthenticatedAttributeBytes(messageHash, null, null, CryptoStandard.CMS);
PdfHash = authenticatedAttributeBytes;
You probably have to calculate the hash of authenticatedAttributeBytes and put that into PdfHash.
As you don't show how exactly you use your methods GetPDFHash and SignPDFHash, though, this can only be guessed.
Your logged hashes
On March 30th you shared logs of the relevant data transported in one run. In particular:

Decrypting that latter signed hash value using the public key from your certificate, though, one gets a DigestInfo object containing this hash:
136 138 205 115 82 228 115 151 231 220 177 93 171 239 123 224 245 180 234 166 132 201 244 54 69 22 18 16 115 223 70 193
Thus, whatever your client side code does, it does not create a signature for your pre-hashed AuthenticatedAttributeBytes. Probably it hashes the hash bytes again, probably it hashes a base64 representation of them, probably it uses some random number, but it does not what you expect it to do.
You should find out what your client code actually does and fix it or feed it the data it requires.
E.g. if your client side code cannot be kept from re-hashing the data, feed it the un-hashed authenticated attribute bytes.
Hello I want to search for the first occurrence of a specific string and capture a value between a set length of numbers and characters that change.
Using Nate Barbettini’s https://dotnetfiddle.net/vhkUV5 example I butchered it into doing what I almost need, it won’t compile and from what I’ve seen my RegEx is way off so I defiantly need help with it.
In my example I want to find the first occurrence of the PID value “116c” for chrome.exe and not all three PID values. What’s the best way to get one PID value?

var regex = new Regex(#"chrome.exe[\s].................................................................(.*)........");
var resultList = new List<string>();
foreach (Match match in regex.Matches(output))
{
resultList.Add(match.Groups[1].ToString());
}
var pid = string.Join(", ", resultList);
Console.WriteLine(pid);

}
Output:
116c, 1694, 10b0
I’m extremely new so any help or pointers are welcome.
Try this code:
var regex = new Regex("chrome\\.exe\\s*.*PID=(.*)\\|");
var pid = regex.Matches(output)
.Cast<Match>()
.Select(match => match.Groups[1].ToString())
.First();
You can test the regular expression here.
I have a set of data that I need to populate a data grid view with once it reaches a certain point in the text file.
Once the (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fileOpen)) reaches [HRData] in the file I would like to store each column into an array for storing into a datagridview and looping to the end of the file
[HRData]
91 154 70 309 83 6451
91 154 70 309 83 6451

108 183 95 309 170 5688
you can use LINQ to produce a list (each element is a line) of arrays (each element is number in that line)
List<string[]> result = File.ReadAllLines("filePath") //read all lines in the file
.SkipWhile(x => x != "[HRData]") //skip lines until reaching the "[HRData]"
.Select(x => x.Split(null, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)) //split line by whitespace to get numbers in line
.ToList(); // convert the result to a list
you can then use result.ForEach(x => dataGridView1.Rows.Add(x))
I am writing code for an embedded device, I have a map of numbers, shown below is a subset ranging from 151 to 66, the adjacent numbers are linked numbers, so for 151, its linked numbers would be 150 - 148 - 146 - 136 - 131 - 91 - and so on, I have a method which accepts two parameters int startNum and int endNum and the goal is to return an array containing 2 integers which will link me from startNum to endNum, so for an example see below
startNum = 126
endNum = 75
linked nums would be 105,90, since 126 brings me to 105, 105 brings me to 90 and 90 takes me to 75, and there are several other paths which will do this, my question is is it possible to figure out these linked numbers without using nested for loops and testing every possible combination.

I would model these lists of linked numbers as a graph i.e. numbers as nodes/vertices and links between nodes as edges. The first line in your example looks as follows:
151 = 136 - 148 - 146 - 150 - 91 - 131 -
So a node 151 would be connected with a node 136, the node 136 with a node 148, the node 148 with a node 146 etc.
EDIT
After a comment from #cahinton I'm not sure if above interpretation of these lists is correct. Another one is that a node 151 would be connected with nodes: 136, 148, 146, 150...
You can read line by line adding nodes and edges to your graph. Each edge should have the same weight = 1. When you have a final graph you can use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortes paths between any two numbers (nodes).
The complexity of the basic implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm is O(N^2) where N - number of nodes. There are also more efficient implementations if you need it. In your case the basic solution should be enough because you will have only 151 - 66 = 85 nodes.
If you don't want to implement everything from the scratch you can use one of many graph libraries. Personally I like QuickGraph There is even a question how to use Dijkstra in this library.
I'm working on a program processing streaming data based on MS-RTSP protocol
and it's working quite well so far, getting UDP packet by RTSP.
The problem is- I cannot get through converting UDP packets to video data.
I have MS-RTSP-SPEC, RFC-2326 and MS-ASF-SPECIFICATION document,
But I have no idea what kind of data structure do 'ASF payload headers and compressed media data'
MS-RTSP DOCUMENT
Following data is one of the received packets from RTP connection,
And I have no idea which part of this MS-ASF-SPEC document has explanation of the 'ASF payload headers and compressed media data'
MS-ASF-SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT
Please help me QQ

Then use your favorite .NET disassembler to pull apart the RtpStream/RtpPacket stuff from the MSR.LST.Net.Rtp assembly. Or you could possibly use their classes to deal with your data.
