Encoding AWS Affiliate API String with PS gives wrong hash - powershell

From the following guide in AWS I need to generate an HMAC SHA256 Signature:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/rest-signature.html
My code is as follows:
$message = 'GET
webservices.amazon.com
/onca/xml
AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE&AssociateTag=mytag-20&ItemId=0679722769&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Images%2CItemAttributes%2COffers%2CReviews&Service=AWSECommerceService&Timestamp=2014-08-18T12%3A00%3A00Z&Version=2013-08-01'
$secret = '1234567890'
$hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($secret)
$signature = $hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($message))
$signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)
echo $signature
# Do we get the expected signature?
echo ($signature -eq 'j7bZM0LXZ9eXeZruTqWm2DIvDYVUU3wxPPpp+iXxzQc=')
Unfortunately I do not get the same hash as AWS does in it's example. What did I miss?

I got it eventually.
It had something to do with the line breaks:
$message = "GET`nwebservices.amazon.com`n/onca/xml`nAWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE&AssociateTag=mytag-20&ItemId=0679722769&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Images%2CItemAttributes%2COffers%2CReviews&Service=AWSECommerceService&Timestamp=2014-08-18T12%3A00%3A00Z&Version=2013-08-01"

Powershell - How to receive large response-headers from error-response of a web-request?

I am looking for a solution to parse an error-response of a given web-service.
Below sample works great in general, but if the response is larger than 64kb then the content is not availabe in the exception at all.
I have seen some solutions recommending to use webHttpClient and increase the MaxResponseContentBufferSize here, but how can I do this for a given WebClient-object?
Is there any option to change that BufferSize globally for all net-webcalls like below TLS12-settings?
Here is my sample-code:
# using net-webclient to use individual user-side proxy-settings:
$web = new-object Net.WebClient
[Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$url = "address to web-service"
try {
$response = $web.DownloadString($url)
} catch [System.Net.WebException] {
# this part needs to work even if the error-response in larger than 64kb
# unfortunately the response-object is empty in such case
$message = $_.Exception.Response
$stream = $message.GetResponseStream()
$reader = new-object System.IO.StreamReader ($stream)
$body = $reader.ReadToEnd()
write-host "#error:$body"
}
I solved it at the end by switching to system.net.httpclient.
That way I still repect any custom proxy-settings and also avoid the above mentioned 64kb-limit in any error-response. Here a sample how to use it:
$url = "address to web-service"
$cred = Get-Credential
# define settings for the http-client:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Net.Http
$ignoreCerts = [System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler]::DangerousAcceptAnyServerCertificateValidator
$handler = [System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler]::new()
$handler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = $ignoreCerts
$handler.Credentials = $cred
$handler.PreAuthenticate = $true
$client = [System.Net.Http.HttpClient]::new($handler)
$client.Timeout = [System.TimeSpan]::FromSeconds(10)
$result = $client.GetAsync($url).result
$response = $result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result
write-host $response

HMAC SHA256 Powershell convert

Why does the following powershell script:
$privateKey = "843c1f887b"
$requestData = "1543448572|d.lastname#firm.com|Firstname Lastname"
function signRequest {
$hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($privateKey)
$signature = $hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($requestData))
$signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)
$outi = $signature
return $signature
}
convert to hash:
FipK51tOtzb2m2yFQAf5IK6BNthClnqE24luMzYMPuo=
and other online hmac sha256 generators with the same input to:
162a4ae75b4eb736f69b6c854007f920ae8136d842967a84db896e33360c3eea
any suggestions what I'm doing wrong in the script?
Thanks!
Your code produces the correct HMAC, you're just base64-encoding it instead of output a hex string like all the other tools.
Change this line
$signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)
to
$signature = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($signature).Replace('-','').ToLower()
Explanation:
[BitConverter]::ToString($signature) produces a hexadecimal string (16-2A-4A-E7...)
String.Replace('-','') removes the - (162A4AE7...)
String.ToLower() lowercases the final string (162a4ae7...)

Generate HMAC SHA256 signature Powershell

For 3commas I tried to generate a HMAC SHA256 signature in Powershell with the example parameters from the documentation:
$secret = 'NhqPtmdSJYdKjVHjA7PZj4Mge3R5YNiP1e3UZjInClVN65XAbvqqM6A7H5fATj0j'
$message = '/public/api/ver1/accounts/new?type=binance&name=binance_account&api_key=XXXXXX&secret=YYYYYY'
$hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($secret)
$signature = $hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($message))
$signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)
$signature
It generates "MPZ4oVcjApDgBHXP/8y8kq42WdlMFFosDp0Poo9BwRo="
As described in the documentation it should generate "30f678a157230290e00475cfffccbc92ae3659d94c145a2c0e9d0fa28f41c11a"
[linux]$ echo -n "/public/api/ver1/accounts/new?type=binance&name=binance_account&api_key=XXXXXX&secret=YYYYYY" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "NhqPtmdSJYdKjVHjA7PZj4Mge3R5YNiP1e3UZjInClVN65XAbvqqM6A7H5fATj0j"
(stdin)= 30f678a157230290e00475cfffccbc92ae3659d94c145a2c0e9d0fa28f41c11a
Can anyone help me out?
Use the BitConverter class.
$secret = 'NhqPtmdSJYdKjVHjA7PZj4Mge3R5YNiP1e3UZjInClVN65XAbvqqM6A7H5fATj0j'
$message = '/public/api/ver1/accounts/new?type=binance&name=binance_account&api_key=XXXXXX&secret=YYYYYY'
$hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($secret)
$signature1 = $hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($message))
#$signature2 = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature1)
[System.BitConverter]::ToString($signature1) -replace '-', ''

powershell Set key in System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA512

I have the code below:
# Powershell HMAC SHA 256
$message = 'Message'
$secret = 'secret'
$hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA512
$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($secret)
$signature = $hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($message))
$signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)
echo $signature
# Do we get the expected signature?
echo ($signature -eq 'z12KOCXYQjCZyKf6WP+yYBONCS+IwNuv9oPbRcL4u+WetE4BvAm1Ysy+bEyGxq/QDLAufO0sPnVLUl/ubvPGdQ==')
When i run this code on my computer, it works fine.
My issue is when i try to run it in my Azure environment. Azure don't like the syntax "$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($secret)"
This is the error im getting when i try to publish the code:
An error occured while publishing the runbook 'HiBob'. Error details:
BadRequest: The Runbook definition is invalid. This type of assignment
is not supported. Only variable names (i.e.: $variable) may be used as
the target of an assignment statement..
basically I cant set this array column "key" using the " $hmacsha.key = "
method.
Anyone has a different idea to do this?
Thanks!

How to post a tweet to twitter using Powershell?

Has anyone used the following code? How do I make it post a tweet? I know I have to use the "$req.Context.RawUri = [Uri]'http://api.twitter.com/version/statuses/update.xml" but I can't get the "$res = [xml][DevDefined.OAuth.Consumer.ConsumerRequestExtensions]::ReadBody($req)" right.
Add-Type -Path C:\OAuthDevDefined\DevDefined.OAuth.dll
$cons = New-Object devdefined.oauth.consumer.oauthconsumercontext
$cons.ConsumerKey = 'key'
$cons.ConsumerSecret = 'key'
$cons.SignatureMethod = [devdefined.oauth.framework.signaturemethod]::HmacSha1
$session = new-object DevDefined.OAuth.Consumer.OAuthSession $cons, $null, $null, $null
$accessToken = new-object DevDefined.OAuth.Framework.TokenBase
$at = import-cliXml C:\temp\myTwitterAccessToken.clixml
$accessToken.ConsumerKey, $accessToken.Realm, $accessToken.Token, $accessToken.TokenSecret = `
$at.ConsumerKey, $at.Realm, $at.Token, $at.TokenSecret
$req = $session.Request($accessToken)
$req.Context.RequestMethod = 'GET'
$req.Context.RawUri = [Uri]'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=5'
$res = [xml][DevDefined.OAuth.Consumer.ConsumerRequestExtensions]::ReadBody($req)
$res.statuses.status | % { $_.user.Name }
I use OAuth by DevDefined as well. My function looks like this:
function Post-Twitter {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$url
)
if (!$script:accessToken) {
throw 'token is not initialized'
}
try {
$cons = New-Object devdefined.oauth.consumer.oauthconsumercontext
$cons.ConsumerKey = $consumerKey
$cons.ConsumerSecret = $consumerSecret
$cons.SignatureMethod = [devdefined.oauth.framework.signaturemethod]::HmacSha1
$session = new-object DevDefined.OAuth.Consumer.OAuthSession `
$cons,
"http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize",
"http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token"
$token = Get-AccessToken
$req = $session.Request($token)
$req.Context.RequestMethod = 'POST'
$req.Context.RawUri = new-object Uri $url
[DevDefined.OAuth.Consumer.ConsumerRequestExtensions]::ReadBody($req)
} catch {
Write-Warning "Exception: $_"
$null
}
}
Then for simplicity I pass status in query string:
add-type -assembly System.Web
$status = [system.Web.Httputility]::UrlEncode('some tweet')
Post-Twitter "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.xml?status=$status"
It seems that you know about the consumer key/secret and the token thing, so I'll leave it without further explanation.
