@hollow parcel you can create a session https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/ so cookies are persisted through request, that way you don't have to pass cookies and everything else with all requests. Only the payload needed for the prduct url to work

tiny panther again, this is just project I am making just for fun

You can use string manipulation to make sure the entered IP address is local eg it has to start with 192.168.x.x or you can hardcode the server IP into ur program so it will only ever connect to that one specific address

#

If ur talking about registering users with the ‘friendly name’ like John’s PC then yea a database or a array would have to be used to correlate that name with IP

Assuming what you are saying is that you want two client to communicate that don't know each others ip, you could use a server that sits between them that runs on a known IP

#

Then you can relay the messages between clients though the server, or use it to resolve and pass the IPs across

Also DNS server is just like any other server, just that it serves a specific purpose and it's usually locked down with more security and has high bandwidth capacity

#

^ anyone know how we can do this?

flint crater Jan 31, 2021, 1:20 AM

#

You guys understand simple networking, right? @low panther
A packet has a source and destination. If it's TCP, the packet has to return back from the destination from the source.

So, if you send with a source of 192.168.0.1 to destination 1.1.1.1 but you tell 1.1.1.1 that you really are, 172.16.1.1, how can you get the response back? 😛 if you are in control of 172.16.1 you can, but is bad stuff and usually you shouldn't do that

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 1:21 AM

#

So

#

Basically we need to craft our own packet?

flint crater <@!309065908440268804> I totally forgot about proxies, but yes, that is viable....

Cannot use a proxy though. It would not be our USA IP if we did that

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

thats...

#

Thats not technically possible

#

the USA IP will always look like a USA IP

#

it's geo location will resolve to the USA regardless

#

masking the location to appear as somewhere else is what a Proxies' job is so it appears from another IP in another location

#

Like the only way you can really maybe do this is via spoofing which you're gonna be constructing your own packets for

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

thats fine.

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

but again it wont appear as the USA IP

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

We can spoof

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

it'll appear as the spoofed ip

#

Your USA IP will always be a USA IP

#

you'll just be spoofing the packet as some Canadian IP

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 5:40 PM

#

Will we need a canadian IP to do that?

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 5:40 PM

well at that point you might aswell just use a proxy

its gonna achieve the same thing

#

I mean just use a proxy

#

it does the same thing

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

If we use a proxy we have to supply the proxies then. We would prefer crafting the packets.

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

you're trying to send a HTTP request correct?

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

yes

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

Then you're gonna be in for alot of work

#

youll likely need scapy todo this in python

#

and also you'll then need to re-build your http interactions from scratch from these packet interactions

#

However

#

i dont think this is possible with http either way

#

because it'll never sync

#

what level is this course btw?

#

cuz i think we're getting to the overly complicating it side of stuff

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 7:25 PM

#

Its a HS course, but we can pay thousands for help

#

@low panther

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

I think what you're trying do is wayyyyy more complicated than what they would expect you todo for a HS course

#

You easiest / only method is gonna be using a proxy

#

cuz ip spoofing isnt gonna work

#

because the server will respond to an ip that doesnt accept anything

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

Its a magnet school

#

its not really a normal HS course

prisma cobalt Jan 31, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

what is the parameter passed into .listen(parameter) do

#

im trying to create a server that only has one connection to it at a time but will accept connections forever

#

maybe .listen(1) but does that mean once the connection is over it stops?

#

maybe a

while True:
    socket.listen(1)
    #do stuff here
    socket.close()

#

wait no

#

i dont want to close the server socket

#

i need to close the client socket

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

merry steppe its not really a normal HS course

Nah but this is like, beyond what most network engineers can do

#

if it was just sending spoofing packets

#

thats one thing

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

Ok. I understand. Would you be interesting in doing a job for us? Paying heavy heavy money. 4 figs

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

but you're trying to spoof an ip which doesnt exist or you cant control doing 2 way communication

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

For the one time job

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

Low key now matter how much you pay isnt gonna change the fact that you cant do ip spoofing with 2 way communication using 1 ip

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

Basically we could communicate but not receive the response right

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

well no

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

Unless we have control of the IP we are spoofing

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

you'd send a single packet and immediately fail the handshake

#

or before that get filtered out by the firewall

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

If ours is 1.1.1.1 or so. And we want 1.2.1.1 in Canada. We need the other one

#

If ur referencing TLS etc. we made a client for that

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

No im referencing the fact that you'll send one tcp packet and fail before you even get to the HTTP protocol because the server will send to a dead ip

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

So only way to do this would to provide a Canadian proxy?

gloomy root Jan 31, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

pretty much

merry steppe Jan 31, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

Could we buy a VPS in Canada

#

@vale vector so you want to simulate user generated requests to hide your software that spits out automated requests?
Have you researched how these software are trying to separate machine vs user generated requests? If not, that is a good starting point to get a good understanding.

Anyway, some tips, don't flood requests. Send all the headers needed, accept cookies, rotate user-agent if using multiple IP-adresses.

Scraping the web is allowed, but do so in fine manner and try to do rate limiting and fire your requests at random (e.g put os.sleep(random.randint(1,10) in there)

vale vector Feb 1, 2021, 10:36 AM

#

flint crater <@!285864675504160778> so you want to simulate user generated requests to hide y...

Exactly, willing to make request seem as human made as possible.

Currently, i'm adding every header and cookie that the request needs to have, but maybe that's slowing down my script by a bit, what do you think?

As for sleep time, i'm currently sleeping for 0.7 secs since i need really good time speeds in order to stand a change against the competition.

The only thing i think i should upgrade, is the user agent, since i'm using the same user agent for multiple proxies. I think i've seen some websites that do have lists of user agents, but will look into that a bit later.

Another thing i wanted to ask is, does the machine specs also matter when trying to make a request? I know some friends that told me that the better your pc is, the faster your requests will be. My proxies are from Netherlands, since there is the host, but i'm planning to run on a server to be able to run 24/7 and lower the proxies latencies.

But since the server won't have the same specs my pc does, i think that that extra time i'm saving on proxies latency will be lost due to low specs. What do you think?

storm saffron Feb 1, 2021, 10:59 AM

#

if you're waiting 0.7s between each request then

#

it will take 0.7s between requests

#

your pc will have no impact on that

ember ledge Feb 1, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

do any of you guys know if there is a way to drop the socket connection after a certain amount of time?

#

Yeah

#

I don't know the code offhand but you would probably import a date/time package and build some sort of timer out of it and encase the socket connection drop code within that

#

oh ok thank you

#

Grab a coffee lol

#

Maybe you could even find a timer package to import and skip the hassle of building your own timer

#

😉

#

Some sort of "if x = 30 // seconds"
"drop socket"

#

yea I was asking because everytime i try to connect to like a dead server it takes so long before it moves on to connecting to the next

#

Oh you're trying to implement a timeout function

#

yea pretty much

#

sorry for giving you the context only now lol

#

All good

#

I am but a mere novice

#

I know nothing

#

😉

#

Hopefully I gave ya ideas though

#

But yeah I'd make a timer class specifically for the timeout

#

and call it as you need

#

would there be any modules i would have to import?

#

instantiate the object or whatever

#

Not sure

Google would have those answers

client_ip = ([l for l in ([ip for ip in socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname())[2] if not ip.startswith("127.")][:1], [[(s.connect(('8.8.8.8', 53)), s.getsockname()[0], s.close()) for s in [socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)]][0][1]]) if l][0][0])

Is this a problem with socket on android or just the wrong way to get an IP?

If considering extending this example for e.g. file transfers, keep in mind that UDP is not reliable. So you'll have to handle packets getting lost and packets arriving out of order. In effect, to get something reliable you'll need to implement something similar to TCP on top of UDP, and you might want to consider using TCP instead.

The optimal path is usually determined by some kind metric. Metric being “fewest hops” or “most available bandwidth” or “lowest latency” or a combination of each. Most dynamic routing protocols determine the metric for you automatically albeit in different ways. In the case of static routing, you typically forego using metric and forcibly send packets down a specific path. So to somewhat answer your question, whatever path gets the packets to their destination.

Do you have any ideea what couldve caused this? I have a try catch sentence in my code, it triggered the exception but the program still failed to move on and make another request :

try:
code

except (requests.exceptions.Timeout, requests.exceptions.ConnectionError) as err:
print(f"\nSite took too long to respond./ Proxy {proxy} might be dead xd. Monitoring: {keywords}.")

I was monitoring the website for around 6 hours at that time, 10 secs between requests and i was running with 50 proxies, timeout delay for requests module being set to 40 seconds(in case the website didn't respond, which it did). Do you think that was just bad timing related and i should've added those 2 proxies to the error list or it actually banned me?

BTW, i was running other instances at that moment on other websites and proxies were workin and didn't get any error so it makes me think it was a proxy - website related problem.

Would it have 2 subnets or 512 subnets? And would I start subnetting at 172.18.128.0 or 172.18.0.128?

It's part of a VLSM scheme, it has 125 hosts, so hence the /25 CIDR value.

#

It has 128 increments.

severe ocean Feb 6, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

You always start at the network address (what comes before the slash), so 0.0 in this case

#

also there is only one subnet here, with 128 hosts

#

approximately.

severe ocean Feb 6, 2021, 2:54 AM

#

there are many subnets out there, but only one per CIDR address. A CIDR address IS a subnet.

#

@neon kelp

#

172.18.0.0/25 = 172.18.0.0-172.18.0.127

#

of course, you can subnet those further, to 64, 32 addresses, etc

but the CIDR would change

severe ocean Feb 6, 2021, 2:59 AM

#

alright. They are saying that if you take a (rather arbitrary) subnet of /16, and divide it into 512 subnets, you will get the /25 subnet. I don't know how this information is useful...

#

what is the question you are trying to answer?

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:01 AM

#

I'm trying to do a VLSM of this network, and here's what I have so far:

172.18.47.128/17 – Original IP Address
Network address is 172.18.0.0 (Class B)
125 hosts- 172.18.0.0 /25 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000 (128 increments)

60 hosts- 172.18.0.128 /26 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000 (64 increments)

28 hosts- 172.18.0.192 /27 11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000 (32 increments)

12 hosts- 172.18.0.224 /28 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 (16 increments)

2 hosts (linking network)- 172.18.0.240 /30 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100 (4 increments)
2 hosts (linking network) – 172.18.0.244 /30 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100 (4 increments)

Then I have to subnet all of these out, which takes me back to the question of 2 subnets or 512 for the ip address of 172.18.0.0/25.

#

@rugged thicket Well,

#

it's not necessarily that portion I'm struggling with,

#

I'll show you what I am.

#

📎 Capture00000000.PNG

#

So,

#

do I use 512 subnets here or 2 subnets?

#

It's a class B in it of itself,

#

but it has a CIDR of 25,

#

that's why I'm confused.

#

I know the rest of it.

rugged thicket Feb 6, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

so classful networking isn't really a thing anymore

#

classful back in the days would mean that it would only be what that class was.

#

VLSM/CIDRs inherently break that model, despite people still using the terminology

#

in current state, you have 172.18.47.128/17

#

if you own this IP, you can subnet that out as far as you'd possibly want

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:25 AM

#

The only issue is I don't know how many subnets 172.18.0.0/25 has.

#

Or would have in this scneario.

#

scenario

rugged thicket Feb 6, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

well 172.18.0.0/25 is the subnet

#

you could then break that further apart, but that in and of itself is a subnet

#

yeah, Q1 in your picture is weird

#

are they saying how many /25s you'd have within the /17?

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

They're asking how many subnets I'd have within my borrowed host bits, so essentially the 1s in the Mask to the second power.

#

So thus,

#

2^9th power.

#

Which is how I came to 512,

#

however,

#

if this was a "class C"

#

the third octet would be excluded,

#

leaving me with just 2^1 power, which is 2 subnets.

#

My professor has pneumonia, so unfortunately, they're out of the question at the moment.

rugged thicket Feb 6, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

if it was a true class C, then it wouldn't be able to be a /17 in the first place

#

are they still teaching classes?

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

Trying to,

#

but they let us out early.

#

So, based on my information, would you go with 512 or 2?

rugged thicket Feb 6, 2021, 3:30 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

classes are based on the first bit being used

#

so if this was classful, it would fall into the B range

#

it's very unfortunate they are teaching anythign about classfulness anymore, hasn't been a thing for like 15 years

#

I'd go with how many /25s there are in the /17 and stick with 512 in that regard

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:32 AM

#

Fair enough.

#

But,

#

for learning's sake,

#

if I had a 192.30.0.1 (Class C),

#

/25 CIDR

#

I'd go with 2 subnets, right?

rugged thicket Feb 6, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

you couldn't have a /25 CIDR in a class C

#

by definition it would only ever be a /24

#

VLSM cannot be used in classfullness

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

Well, 1 subnet then

rugged thicket Feb 6, 2021, 3:34 AM

#

yup it would be 192.30.0.0/24

neon kelp Feb 6, 2021, 3:34 AM

#

Alright,

#

I'll go through the rest of this with this in mind.

#

        s.listen()

                    break
                conn.sendall(data)```
the client code is 
```py

    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(byt1)

flint crater Feb 6, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

I meant define as re-phrase your question.....

#

Also state your issue

#

As far I as I can see, you only allow connections from localhost (127.0.0.1) on your server so only clients on the same machine can connect to the server.

E.g if you host this on raspberry pi in your on network, your own computer can't connect because it only allows connections from the local machine (raspberry pi) so you will have to bind it to another IP on the server e.g 0.0.0.0 and then update your client code to connect to the IP-address of the network interface that is connected to the local network

bold pond Feb 6, 2021, 11:45 AM

#

so getting the client ip and binding it is better right ?

#

## importing socket module
import socket
## getting the hostname by socket.gethostname() method
hostname = socket.gethostname()
## getting the IP address using socket.gethostbyname() method
ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)
## printing the hostname and ip_address
print(f"Hostname: {hostname}")
print(f"IP Address: {ip_address}")```
i found this code is it alright if i use it and bind it to my server 
or i need to accept all connections

flint crater Feb 6, 2021, 11:49 AM

#

what?! You bind the server to an IP that is local to it or maybe even 0.0.0.0 it will allow connections from everyone.
Then you have to tell the client to connect to the IP address that is on the network interface of the server

I suggest you do some reading.....
Without picking up a book here is some resources:

@bold pond that code looks alright, it will bind to the assgined ip address of the machine of what ever it has (e.g 192.168.0.2)

hello, I'm trying to run a simple game server on my local machine on port 5555 and was trying to figure out port forwarding. But I'm confused about the External Port Number field in the bottom left. Does it mean the port number of the client from which the connection request would be initiated or what?

no, it means the port number that is attached to your public ip address.

warm kite Feb 7, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

port numbers attached to my public address? can you please elaborate a bit more and what should I input in that field. I'm really a beginner

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

I think external port is what port entities that aren't in your subnet see.

#

Basically, that port is what you put in your client.py or whatever if that client.py is at other people's homes.

hidden crypt Feb 7, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

no if you want to connect from the same network you need the private ip address

#

if you want to connect from over the internet in the server side of it you need a private ip address and in the client the public ip and port foward on the server side

#

you need to port forward on the same port you used in your code

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

hidden crypt no if you want to connect from the same network you need the private ip address

if you want to connect from the same network you will use the private ip address

hidden crypt Feb 7, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

yes

#

you also dont need to port forward anything

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

if you want to test the thing on your network you can just use the loophole address

#

no need to port forward for that

hidden crypt Feb 7, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

if you have trouble you can send your code i might be able to help you

#

port forwarding is just to connect from other networks

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

isn't port forwarding just a NAT manager

#

literally

#

i mean

#

NAT does port forwarding

#

but the interface is just managing NAT here

hidden crypt Feb 7, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

if you port forward you just tell your router to direct data comming in to your computer in a specific port

#

if you dont do it the router doesnt know where to direct the data so it doesnt respond and the connection is closed

You can have the best server available, but bad code will always be prone to bottleneck slowness.. Optimize your code and make sure to test, test, test.

flint crater Feb 7, 2021, 8:09 PM

We're not talking 1-1 testing, do a broad test. E.g 100 connections at the same time sending different types of request, is your server able to handle it within reasonable time-frame < 1-5 seconds? @steady horizon
Good luck!

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

flint crater Try targeting 10 connections :-) Should be fine.

ez

flint crater Feb 7, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

1x server, 1x client, do your 1-1 testing first. Get simple things going, then think about how you would handle multiple clients. Optimize code, do some more testing with 2-3 clients at the same time (look into Twisted for example). Continue to optimize then write more code (new functionality ), test again... rinze and repeat

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

Also if I'm making a GUI app or whatever, really, should I have a thread for the networking stuff an another for the window loop?

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 8:15 PM

#

what do i do if the server crashes?

flint crater Feb 7, 2021, 8:15 PM

#

@steady horizon I've never developed a game myself, but yes, normally you have a game loop that is non blocking the main thread and gui thread is separate
(Don't take my word for it!!)

steady horizon Feb 7, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

Last time I tried making a chat app with tkinter I just wrote my own main loop in a while loop at the end of the file.

#

It worked until I realized server sockets close the client sockets when the client sockets send empty data.

#

Also just how bad do you think making a simple "shared mouse position" program will be using UDP instead of TCP

#

I've never actually tried using the UDP part of the socket module.

Can I lean on Python to build protocols or for distributed computing?

tall ridge Feb 7, 2021, 10:38 PM

Not enough ram possibly
A system scan check is probably the best thing to do

maybe /r/homenetworking/ or /r/homelab or even /r/networking

ANyway, true, this Discord is mostly beginner stuff, not a good source for advanced topics... but sure, you can implement native routing in linux, after all, quagga is a software that runs in userland so.

I have a question regarding stomp py and ActiveMQ. I am fairly new to networking protocols so please forgive my basic question. Basically I have made a tool that creates a client ID on launch which is used to create a listener. I can see it appear on ActiveMQ’s server. The client ID has some component of UUID because it is created per instance of the tool launch. Anyways, sometimes the tool can crash so hard that it does not execute the disconnection codes on tool closure so there remains rogue listener(s). I am wondering what would be a good way to disconnect from those stray/rogue listeners? Right now I either manually purge it on the server site or log off/login works too. Any ideas would be welcomed!

We have a script with uses the socket module to create udp sockets for uni cast and multicast. We’ve noticed when we try and subscribe an interface ip using setsockopt(sol_ip) it doesn’t work with a network cable unplugged. However when we connect to a device (eg switch) it does

However, if I connect it to a device, then disconnect it and then run the setsockopt, it works!

Hi, so I'm trying to update a Python script. Basically I'd like for example when using sockets, so there's a server and one (or more) client(s). I would like that when I modify the client script on my pc, that it also modifies it on all the other pc's where there is the client script. (I start with sockets, I don't know much yet).

Working with APIs. I want it to print the teacher name like this:

Teacher Name: Colin Malcolm

The result the API gives me is this:

'type': 'media', 'contentId': '60066ca7f6a508429a66d69d', 'teachers': [{'name': 'Colin Malcolm', 'role': 'teacher', 'id': '5f4d1c12c12ff43f3267afcc'}]

I watched like 5 youtube videos and I still couldnt get it.

For reference, I retrieve my API data from this line:

complete_data = requests.get(api_link, headers=send_headers).json()

When I do print(complete_data) it works and prints the whole thing.

storm saffron Feb 14, 2021, 2:59 AM

so you want the first element of the teachers list

#

and you want its name value

#

assuming there's only one teacher

so complete_data["teachers"][0]["name"]

First of all I think you might be misunderstanding what a socket is, a socket is an endpoint for sending and receiving data over a network, this could mean anything from HTTP to Bluetooth. A socket could send something immediately, 5 hours later, or never, this means an application must wait for the socket to have some data by waiting (blocking) or notifying in some fashion. Notifying is generally preferred for an application that has to handle a lot of sockets so they don't have to spawn 100's threads who spend most of their time waiting instead the application would wait for any of the sockets to be ready then notify something in some way when it is. Python provides something like this with the asyncio module, it polls multiple fds with select (selector event loops at least) and calls a function when the fd is readable/writable. This means you can use a Future to essentially notify a task when a socket is readable/writable. aiohttp uses asyncio to wait for sockets to be readable/writable so no you can't use aiohttp without asyncio. You can read from and write to sockets without asyncio but if you want it to notify instead of block you would have to make your own loop similar to asyncio's.

Hey everyone! I'm interested in people looking at my code and telling me it's awful and possibly how I can make it better.. Both constructive and nonconstructive criticism is welcomed!


from netaddr import *

def macDialect(macAddr,macFormat):

    lowerMacAddr = macFormat.lower()
    mac = EUI(macAddr)

    try:
        if lowerMacAddr == 'unix':
            mac.dialect = mac_unix
            return(mac)
        elif lowerMacAddr == 'juniper':
            mac.dialect = mac_unix_expanded
            return(mac)
        elif lowerMacAddr == 'cisco':
            mac.dialect = mac_cisco
            return(mac)
        elif lowerMacAddr == 'bare':
            mac.dialect = mac_bare
            return(mac)
    except:
        return('The provided mac address or format was invalid.')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mac = macDialect('00-1B-77-49-54-FD', 'juniper')
    print(mac)

slender steeple camelCase 😦

I'm new to python and programming in general. I am doing camelCase because honestly... I saw another programmer doing it. Is there any reading I can do to form a good habit instead of a bad habit when it comes to formatting my code's upper/lowercase?

slender steeple Feb 19, 2021, 10:56 PM

snake_case

#

its the python convention

#

and imo it looks better

for other python style rules checkout

!pep8

errant bayBOT Feb 19, 2021, 10:57 PM

#

PEP 8 is the official style guide for Python. It includes comprehensive guidelines for code formatting, variable naming, and making your code easy to read. Professional Python developers are usually required to follow the guidelines, and will often use code-linters like flake8 to verify that the code they're writing complies with the style guide.

You can find the PEP 8 document here.

#

slender steeple i would use a dict lookup tbh

Also with the dict lookup, I think you're suggesting I treat the macAddr & macFormat as a single dict. I'll go ahead and make that change and test it out. It doesn't bother me now but my mindset is just to do some python every day. I bet when I start building code that depends on this I will form my own opinion/preference and a dict may be the better option.

storm saffron Feb 19, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

building on what others have mentioned

#

even if you don't use a dict, you can put the return(mac) at the end of your if statements

#

also return isn't a function, it's normally just return mac

compact widget Feb 19, 2021, 11:07 PM

#

Not sure what you mean by placing return at the end of my if statements. Like this?


        if lowerMacAddr == 'unix':
            mac.dialect = mac_unix
        return mac
        elif lowerMacAddr == 'juniper':
            mac.dialect = mac_unix_expanded
        return mac
        elif lowerMacAddr == 'cisco':
            mac.dialect = mac_cisco
        return mac
        elif lowerMacAddr == 'bare':
            mac.dialect = mac_bare
        return mac

#

or to prevent so much repeating of myself maybe this?


        if lowerMacAddr == 'unix':
            mac.dialect = mac_unix

        elif lowerMacAddr == 'juniper':
            mac.dialect = mac_unix_expanded

        elif lowerMacAddr == 'cisco':
            mac.dialect = mac_cisco

        elif lowerMacAddr == 'bare':
            mac.dialect = mac_bare
        return mac

Hi! I'd like to implement a basic p2p network in python, but I have no idea where to start.. I have a basic understanding what a p2p network is but I wouldn't be able to get into deep details. Do you have any source or something like that? 🙂

I feel like this channel is lacking an example of a client-server program. I've taught about 4 people in the last week and I think it would be beneficial to have a properly annotated example for beginner introduction to sockets. So I will create a good example that hopefully a mod or helper pins to this channel as a resource for networking beginners

#

Hi everyone!
This is a simple example of a client-server program designed to help those who are struggling or provide an example to those interested in networking:

Simple client-server program using sockets + socket docs link:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#example
if your using the first example yourself, remember to change the HOST variable in the client script to the IP of the server.

For learning the low levels of networking I would recommend realpython's tutorial:
https://realpython.com/python-sockets/

As an example of real world use, the following is code for a TCP chatroom by NeuralNine:

find the IP of a website or your own machines public/private IP?

storm saffron Feb 22, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

when you go to google.com, your browser:

looks up google.com in a "domain name server", which basically tells it what the IP of google.com is
connects to this IP, and the packets are routed to google via the internet
google sends a response to your IP address, which your router knows, and this packet gets routed back through the internet
your browser receives the packet and displays the webpage

#

there are a few more steps but this is basically how it works

prisma cobalt Feb 22, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

Okay there are two types of connection really:
A client-server network
A peer to peer network

#

The client server allows connections to a central server that manages everything for the clients

#

The peer to peer is limited but allows connections between computers without the need for a server

#

Game servers and message apps servers are server-client since the server handles the clients

#

Nearly everything you see is server client actually

zinc surge Feb 22, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

oh that makes sense yea

#

what about the actual script on how people do this cuz it makes it so much easier to understan for me to actually see the code

I have a problem
there is an http server:

with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), PageHandler1.PageHandlerClass1) as httpd:
    print("serving at port", PORT)
    httpd.serve_forever()

In PageHandlerClass1 (which is inherited from BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

def do_GET(self):
    #parse parts of the request and make sure there are 4 of them
    url = unquote(self.requestline)
    url = url.replace(" ", "?")
    url = url.replace("989", " ")
    parts = url.split("?")

    if len(parts) != 4:
        print("Ignored request", parts)
        self._set_headers()
        encoded = bytes("Hi", "utf8")
        self.wfile.write(encoded)
        return

    if len(parts) == 4:
        print("Accepted request", parts)
        #here I do the logic using parts
        #... a lot of code




def do_POST(self):
    try:
        #parse parts of the request and make sure there are 4 of them
        url = unquote(self.requestline)
        url = url.replace(" ", "?")
        parts = url.split("?")

        if len(parts) == 4:
            print("Accepted request", parts)
            #here I do the logic using parts
            #... a lot of code

    except BaseException as e:
        print("Exception", e)

The server works normally (and the web app is being used by a couple of my friends) but sometimes it just randomly "hangs" (doesn't respond to the client but the script is still working - looks like it's in the mid of request). It happens pretty rare, the server can work for days

In the logs I found this (the last thing before I had to restart it)

192.241.214.177 - - [23/Feb/2021 08:32:02] code 400, message Bad request version ('À\x14À')
192.241.214.177 - - [23/Feb/2021 08:32:02] "   c]æBèðW%üy²îm.BêÍtevø;/

Any thoughts?

wheat wedge Feb 23, 2021, 2:11 PM

The requests come from the JS client:

function ___api_get_root(port){
    if(___debug){
        return "http://localhost:"+port+"/api/"
    }
    else {
        return "http://<my ip>:"+port+"/api/"
    }
}




//for GET:
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", ___api_get_root(mainPort)+"article?lang="+std_langs[main_lang]+"&word="+repl, false);
req.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
  ...
}
req.send(null);


//for POST:
var rec = new XMLHttpRequest();
rec.open("POST", ___api_get_root(mainPort)+"linkify?align=0&lang="+std_langs[main_lang], true);
rec.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
  ...
}
rec.send(text);

I suspect this "bad request" comes from an outside place, not from my JS client

guys if i have a client that sends data to a server with a socket,
and i want the client to sometimes send messages like "switch channel" or stuff like that in between.
should i make a seperate socket for the messages? or mix the data socket with the messages???

#

the server offeres a socket for audio data, and the client sends this data
i also want the client to send messages in between, should i do a second scoket for that? or is that not the usual way to do it?

wheat wedge I have a problem there is an http server: ```Python with socketserver.TCPServer(...

running the server in this way really isn't production ready

#

if you're expecting actual web traffic

#

any bad request will tie up the only serving thread and prevent others from connecting

@storm saffron
tnx 🙂
how to run a server in a "production ready" way?

storm saffron Feb 23, 2021, 3:27 PM

#

well if you want to prevent the threading problem you can use ThreadingHTTPServer

#

oh you're using tcpserver

#

why

#

is it just for the experience of writing a socket http server?

wheat wedge Feb 23, 2021, 3:30 PM

#

tbh, I just google for "basic http server", and used the example code. I had no experience with that before. I was focused on the logic. It seemed to work so...

#

the logic was initially "just read the file and serve it back"
now there is a lot of complex logic there but I never really got into how the networking part operates

you shouldnt be using any of the inbuilt http stuff with python for prod

gloomy root you shouldnt be using any of the inbuilt http stuff with python for prod

wow
that's a really big surprise for me
how it's normally done then?

gloomy root Feb 23, 2021, 3:46 PM

#

well for serving files the standard case is using apache or nginx to serve that and then reverse proxy to something like gunicorn to run a WSGI framework

I never encountered a problem that may use 2 sockets before

safe agate Feb 23, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

okay, so if i try to use one socket, then how can i seperate messages from data?

#

because the socket obviously gets "spammed" with audio data, if i put a small socktet.send("switchroom") in between h?

safe agate Feb 23, 2021, 8:16 PM

#

alright, fixed it

#

nvm

#

fyi: used an if ("switchroom" in data.decode() ) XDD

I am not good with network addressing but in my opinion you should create two addresses - one in network 192.168.1.0 and another in 192.168.2.0

exotic thistle Feb 24, 2021, 1:46 PM

so you're identifying the private side of the routers interface so using the private ip?

Hello i need some suggestions. I will need to connect few rpis with some kind of mesh connection in python (they will not be in same lan). I need to transfer files between them, send mesages (not broadcast) and also it would be great, that it would work even if some rpis crash. Thank you

#

I found this: https://p2p.today/python/tutorial/mesh.html But i am not exactly sure about files and also what if rpi, that i am connecting to crashes? And also for me it seems like communication is going through the "server" not p2p, or am i wrong

if you want to transfer files, ssh into the rpis and scp the files to wherever you want using the terminal

thats what i do

This is not what i want. I want to make python program, that would basically allow to send and request files from other rpis fully autonomously. Also as i said it needs to by something like mesh system and rpis will not be on the same LAN.

#

As i said, that module seems to solve my problem, but i am not sure, if it would handle file transfers (probably <250MB or even less, pics, text, maybe video) and i have feeling, that it is working through the "main" server and as i said mesh would be best solution for me (all devices can communicate with all other devices without help of server, server is not needed).

prisma cobalt Feb 25, 2021, 2:15 PM

ok, make a python program, import os, use os module to run commands such as "scp {file} {user}:{ip} -P {port}"

opaque nymph Feb 25, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

hmmm... Ok thanks

prisma cobalt Feb 25, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

the pis dont have to be on the same network

#

and then if you set up the program properly you can also send messages in files
