[plush coral]

ok

Note: I am using Google Collab
Note: Initially I did not have ngrok on my PC

After running the last code block I got the url but ngrok wanted me to create an account. I created an account, extracted ngrok on Windows, authenticated my ngrok agent and restarted my computer. I ran the last block again and got an error "Your account may not run more than 2 tunnels over a single ngrok client session." So I killed the process and ran all code blocks. However, after gettiing the URl and running it in the browser it tells to to register again.

Note: There is a warning when the URL is generated 't=2022-01-22T22:40:55+0000 lvl=warn msg="can't bind default web address, trying alternatives" obj=web addr=127.0.0.1:4040'

Why is this hapenning?

Can someone tell me what I should to do in order to solve the situation?

tried to change port to 5040 that has listening state but then it shows a different error 'The connection to URL was successfully tunneled to your ngrok client, but the client failed to establish a connection to the local address localhost:5040.'

[visual raptor]

How do I resolve this error?

OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

[earnest blaze]

What threw this?

[visual raptor]

@earnest blaze When I try to use .sendall(packet)

I'm trying to make a custom ping message

So icreate a packet using stuct.pack

And then I attempt to send it using an ICMP socket

[earnest blaze]

Is the socket connected to a peer?

[visual raptor]

what's a peer?

icmpSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_RAW,socket.IPPROTO_ICMP)

This is how i create my socket

[earnest blaze]

I'd assume you didn't call connect ?

[visual raptor]

I have called connect

I created a tuple: ipAddress, port

I set port to 0 since its a ping and doesn't need a port from my understanding

[earnest blaze]

...

What?

I can't begin to express how wrong that is.

Remove the binding

[visual raptor]

hold on what's wrong with it? I couldn't connect otherwise and making it a tuple was the only way to make it work

[visual raptor]

Whats a binding?

[earnest blaze]

You said you set the port to 0, what exactly do you mean by that?

[visual raptor]

        icmpSocket.connect(myTuple)```

like this

since conncet required a tuple to be passed

so its the ip address followed by the port number

atleaset that's how i understoond how connect works/requires

[earnest blaze]

Your wording makes it sound like the first thing you did while learning about networking is jumping straight into raw sockets.

Try running it with elevated privileges @visual raptor

[visual raptor]

I guess so lol

[visual raptor]

As in my windows privallages? or running my code with the sudo keyword?

[earnest blaze]

Are you using both linux and windows?

Just do whatever it is you do on your platform

[visual raptor]

Ah okay, running windows currently but I'd also want this to run on linux

[earnest blaze]

I've just realized I didn't ask you if this was a server or client 😩

[visual raptor]

Guess would be a client since I'm only sending messages to websites

But would want to turn it into a server so it can also recieve messages

Right now just sending

[visual raptor]

@earnest blaze upon changing my privallges it has worked

oh hey

so yea I just asked my question in #help-cheese

[prisma cobalt]

okay one sec

[wind oriole]

If I'm trying to crawl with some serious speed, how many semaphores is reasonable in aiohttp on a VPS? I want to get moving faster but I'm already at 100 semaphores and need serious speed improvements. Barebones crawler here, no fancy/expensive operations, just crawling. I just don't want to have my VPS company put a hit out on me.

or is this a better Q for #async-and-concurrency ?

feel like it's more of a connection question

[ember ledge]

imap or pop3.

[remote turret]

how they work?

[ember ledge]

It's an rfc, read it.

[remote turret]

Like how can imap can make us see those emails in our browser?

[ember ledge]

Because Outlook interacts with IMAP or POP3 in ways via csharp or something; i dunno.

Google or other such search engines will answer your broadstroke questions. For details, seek here. But research first.

If anything, setup your own domain and create a mail server.

Learn how it works from both sides of the equation.

Run your own Nameserver.

Understand that which makes the everyday things you take for granted.

[ember ledge]

guys im running a service which requires a connection between the client and my server, the problem is, my IPv4 address changes every few days, is there a naming service i can use?

[silver flame]

async def connect():
    while True:
        try:
            reader, writer = await asyncio.open_connection("notahost", 1)
        except OSError as e:
            pass

is this a good way to reconnect a connection or do i use up multiple file descriptors with this?

[silver flame]

ok so apparently this does NOT cause a problem with file descriptors but is a memory leak

[loud copper]

Not that I would be an expert on this topic, but I can't imagine where that memory leak would be.

[silver flame]

apparently there is one 🤷‍♂️ https://bugs.python.org/issue44697

[loud copper]

Am I the only person having issues with that link?

[silver flame]

sorry, double subdomain, fixed it

[loud copper]

Indeed, there send to be an unfixed memory leak. I wonder why it has not been touched for months. Really surprises me.

[silver flame]

Yes, following the comments on there this might be even older which is quite odd. I'm thinking about switching to threading instead now to circumvent this since I'm not exactly worried about performance.

[loud copper]

I'm curious if you have been able to reproduce the issue or just read about it. Can you verify it still exists?

[silver flame]

I actually found out about the issue myself because I checked the file descriptors being used, I had the ram increase on every reconnect and thought I just didn't implement it right.

[loud copper]

What a shame. Thanks!

[undone cloak]

is the socket module encrypted by default ? like can messages sent inside of the sockets be clearly visible if someone was sniffing packets ?

[drowsy raft]

[odd mesa]

is port forwarding necessory for sockets?

[dusty wadi]

I am in need of a job can someone help me out.

[thick topaz]

@odd mesa depends on the networking architecture. As example in a server client infrastructure where the server is wide open - no. If the server is behind router with many hosts on same IP then yes.

There is also something called reverse connection which opens the networking backwards

[tacit matrix]

Heya, is there a way to ssh to a computer where the IP changes constantly?

I have a computer with only 4g internet

[thick topaz]

Yes there is (Pontus) this would be a reverse ssh connection

[tacit matrix]

I can baely do a normal ssh aha

[thick topaz]

https://www.howtogeek.com/428413/what-is-reverse-ssh-tunneling-and-how-to-use-it/amp/

Read up on Reverse SSH Tunnel

It could even be automatically setup through Python for example lol

And cron/task

If you want to get extra crafty, use logic to where if the connection drops it auto tries again

[tacit matrix]

Easy for you to say

I cna barly write hello world in python

[ember ledge]

this won't be of any use

if both machines are on residential IPs

with each having a dynamic IP address and also ISP preventing any ingress traffic

if both machines are different regular ISP customers then your only option is to find a middle man @tacit matrix

that will receive/pass the traffic from one machine to the other

https://github.com/elisescu/tty-share

with this for example

you can either run your own middle man ("proxy server" as mentioned in that repo) in the cloud

or otherwise you can use the server of the guy behind this repo

which is the default setting, you dont have to tweak anything, but that option is risky because your SSH terminal commands could be seen by that middle man

so running your own proxy server in the cloud is what i am doing personally

[visual raptor]

Is there a way to extract certain infromation from a byte struct?

For example I'm receiving a packet and I want to extract the arrival time

[earnest blaze]

Define "arrival time"

[visual raptor]

Sorry not arrival time but time to live

I understand that its the 8th byte but not sure how to extract it from a b* packet

struct*

[earnest blaze]

Well for one, you'd need to not strip out the header.

recv does that by default, are you using a raw socket?

[visual raptor]

yes

mmmm maybe i could using something like myPacket[20:28]

Something like that should select only the time to live

[earnest blaze]

what does the 20 : 28 signify here?

The ttl data is the 9th byte

Well in an ipv4 header at least.

[visual raptor]

So I have a socket listening for an echo return

b'E\x00\x00\x1c\x00\x00\x00\x004\x01\x9fP\xac\xd9\x10\xee\n<\x1f\x8e\x00\x00\xef\xff\x00\x00\x10\x00'

This is what i recive

So that means that 20:28 should get the time to live

[visual raptor]

Actually maybe I'd want to do [8:9] since this would get the 8th byte

Which would be the time to live @earnest blaze

[odd thorn]

This is a great resource, thanks for sharing! 🔥

[cold geyser]

you should probably use the struct module for that.

for anything "below" a single byte, like the version and IHL part (and the flags), you need to extract a full byte (or more) and do bitmask operations.

[fleet flume]

i keep getting these errors when trying to import requests Traceback (most recent call last): import requests from .packages.six.moves.http_client import IncompleteRead as httplib_IncompleteRead from importlib.util import spec_from_loader

[thick topaz]

Actually reverse SSH tunneling works perfectly fine on its own. I was assuming individual accesses via cloud VPS jump box or knows how to use port forwarding. If he doesn’t then he probably shouldn’t be doing ssh reverse tunnels at all

But sure, you can add a middleman cloud proxy instance if you want - I think that is further complicating the task at hand though. 100 ways to skin a cat

[snow dust]

how could one implement a global bandwidth limit for an app that uses aiohttp?

[glad raft]

@versed vortex I feel like your issue is the fact your trying to pass both host and port as a string when it's expecting port to be an int. I'd change the port variable to be casted as an integer.

[versed vortex]

So what would be the correct way?

[cloud hill]

how would i change the cipher suite on aiohttp

[ember ledge]

Anyone familiar with scapy

[ember ledge]

port=int(input ())

actually

Delete your type casting to str for host and post in the connect call

serversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

#host = '192.168.50.34'

Host name isn't gonna give you your machines address

[versed vortex]

it does

[ember ledge]

No it doesn't, just machine/host logical name

[ember ledge]

what is network automation?

[prisma cobalt]

Assuming you want to accept connections from outside your pc, you need to change your host str to "0.0.0.0"

This accepts any/all ipv4 connections

[ember ledge]

I'm not OP

[cerulean schooner]

What's the error?

Perhaps you're trying to bind to an priv'd port and thus raises and error upon the bind call.

Ports >= 1024 are considered to be privileged ports.

[ember ledge]

Just bind to the doom port

i'm somewhat familiar with scapy and are using it for several projects, what do you need?

[honest igloo]

Hi guys! At my job, we have a bunch of Python-jobs running using cron/task-scheduler on three different servers. They run daily, weekly or monthly, performing data processing and database operations. Simple stuff.

But if one of them fails, we don't really see it until later. So I'm hoping someone can point me towards a tool I can use to monitor these. Maybe a simple web interface that the script can connect to and set its status to "OK", "Failed" or something similar.

[prisma cobalt]

Oh my bad, replied to the wrong message

[wind oriole]

We (and many others) use Splunk

[honest igloo]

Thank you! My company is moving into Azure (my group doesn't to DevOps/build stuff) - is Splunk compatible / duplicating this?

[wind oriole]

Splunk is (primarily) a query-based tool for parsing, exploring, filtering, pivoting and visualizing unstructured data

We use it to parse web logs and alert on errors, as well as many other things

No BS piece of software

Good for the resume if you work in dev, BI or IT

[honest igloo]

My organization has Splunk as well, maybe I'll ask for a demo and see if it fits our use case. I really just want to see if our scripts have run and maybe how much data was processed while we prepare for a full rewrite.

(I'm learning a lot as I go - some technological slippage due to personnel loss before I started).

[wind oriole]

I got a $15 class on udemy that taught me most of what I needed

And splunk has a free version I believe

Wish I could say the same for Tableau

[honest igloo]

Oh! Maybe I wasn't looking good enough.

Can it also "run"/manage processes? So I can control them from one interface isntead of multiple cronjobs?

[wind oriole]

Provided they're run through splunk itself, it's not intended to be an OS cron replacement

But you can make your own apps and addons

Just text files really

[honest igloo]

Cool. I was looking at Airflow at a friends suggestion. But I'm wondering if I just start containerizing them as a way of learning that as well, even if it might be overkill.

Teach me some orchestration, yaml etc.

[wind oriole]

If it were me I'd look at the title of the next job I want, go find 50 job postings for it, and convince my company to use that one

Whichever is being requested most often

[honest igloo]

In my town it's all node/kubernetes/microservices based on my job hunt last year.

[wind oriole]

I'm a little confused as to how to implement the timeout functionality in my ping program that I'm making

Should I have a while loop that constatnly checks the time and see if the waiting time is greater than the timeout?

[prisma cobalt]

can you give us a bit more detail to your situation and how it relates to networking?

[visual raptor]

Yes I can my bad

So I'm trying to make my own version of ping in python, using a RAW_SOCKET

And I want my program to also recive messages, so when I send a ping it will wait for a response

However, from my understanding ping usually has a timeout incase it takes too long for a packet to return

So I'm wondering if I could get some direction as to how I would go about making some timeout functionality

[ember ledge]

the simplest way

is with https://pypi.org/project/async-timeout/

its basically as simple as

from async_timeout import timeout

async def sender(socket)
  try:
    async with timeout(2):
        await socket.send()
        await socket.recv()
  except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    print("Didn't manage to receive data back within 2 seconds")

[knotty iris]

is it possible for more than one IP address to be connected to the same port on the same server?

i'm asking because i find it weird how my device opens up a random closed port to send/receive data, but when i connect to a server on port 80 for example, the server doesn't switch to an unused port..? all traffic passes through the port which i've specified it seems. unless this is handled internally?

[cunning garden]

why would it have to switch to another port?

[knotty iris]

to serve another ip address i assume

but then

[cunning garden]

The connection is not defined by the destination port. But by the combination of source/dest ip/port

so the same server on port 80 can serve multiple connections at once

[knotty iris]

that would mean a server can have up to 65k connections, making it easy to DDoS

yeah

i see now

[cunning garden]

It's pretty normal for servers to handle thousands and tens of thouands of connections

[cunning garden]

How can I fetch product and vendor name from cpe?

[ember ledge]

whats cpe

[cloud spruce]

i'm guessing you are referring to Customer Placed Equipment (CPE), often a router or layer-3 switch provided by the ISP to be housed by the customer
most of the time you will not have any access to the cpe at all other then physical access to the hardware it self, usually vendor, model number and serial number is printed somewhere on the device it self, which can be very hard to get at if it's mounted in a rack

[finite jewel]

what is the best way to send messages to all the clients connected to a tcp server without slowing down significantly pretty fast, I have both an asyncio version and threaded version of a tcp server and they both slow down pretty fast, asyncio version slows down after about 1k connections and the threaded one slows down after 4k connections.

both have something along the lines of
I guess I am also trying to figure out if async is suited for this, but I would assume so since I see a lot of async being used for handling a ton of connections, I also think its the way I am going on about sending messages to everyone, but still the performance loss has me stumped

#all connections are appended to this list
global_connections_list=[]
def add_all(current_client,msg):
  for connections in global_connections_list:
    if x != current_client:
        connections.send(msg.encode()) 

[thorn stratus]

you could not encode the message every time you send it

i.e. encode it once and put that in a variable outside the loop

but really you need to profile your code to figure out what is taking so long, I would recommend looking into something like https://docs.python.org/3/library/profile.html#module-cProfile

how are you doing the async and threaded versions?

[finite jewel]

I took a look again since I sent that message while I was on my phone and the message is already encoded, so I was wrong there
this is the async version of the code

import asyncio

#async TCP server
glist = []
# this is the code to send the message to everyone
# and this is what slows down the connections
async def send_all(writer,data):
    for w in glist:
        if w != writer:
            #data is already type byte
            w.write(data)
            await w.drain()

async def handle_echo(reader, writer):
    glist.append(writer)
    # while True:
    data = await reader.read(100)
    
    message = data.decode()
    print(f'data: {data} message: {message}')

    #testing sending only 1 message to server and not all
    # this does not slow down at all and does it really fast when testing it out with my test client
    writer.write(data)
    await writer.drain()


    # send message to everyone connected to server
    # await send_all(writer,data)

async def main():
    server = await asyncio.start_server(
        handle_echo, '127.0.0.1', 8888)
    print(f'Online\nserver:{server.sockets}\n')

    async with server:
        await server.serve_forever()

asyncio.run(main())

and this is the threaded version of the code

import socket
import threading
import sys
gglist = []
#threade version of TCP server
def new_func(clientsock, msg):
    for x in gglist:
        if x !=clientsock:
            x.send(msg.encode())

def listen(clientsock,addr):
    gglist.append(clientsock)
    while True:
        msg = clientsock.recv(1024).decode()
        # I comment out the bottomm function to test only
        new_func(clientsock, msg)
        #clientsock.send(msg)



serversock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
ip_address = "localhost"
port_number = 8888
address_port = (ip_address,port_number)
serversock.bind(address_port )
serversock.listen()
print('server up')
try:
    while True:
        client, addr = serversock.accept() 
        listen_thread = threading.Thread(target = listen, args =(client,addr),daemon = True) 
        listen_thread.start() 
except:
    print('\nerror')
    sys.exit()

[finite jewel]

when doing the testing I run it so that the client only sends a message to the server and leaves the connection open, another test is having all the connections being appended onto a list and having the message being sent to the whole list. this function that makes it send the message to all connections is what slows me down significantly

[full gull]

Hello i'm new to the Python networking, and networking in general. I think i know some basics, but is there a mindmap or quick overview on this subject in Python? Short comprehensive understanding of TCP/IP, Sockets, UDP etc.

[thorn stratus]

Maybe instead of sending it to the clients one at a time, you send it to all the clients at once

[finite jewel]

is there a way to go on about this, because I have tried looking for that and there is nothing. the only mention of sending the a message to all other clients connected was using a loop like the ones that I have used in both the async and threaded version or at least something similar

[thorn stratus]

Well in asyncio I think if you wrote the data to all the sockets first and then awaited them to drain that would accomplish the same thing

Not 100% sure though if that's how asyncio works

Or maybe even draining before you write to the stream

That way you aren't limiting how fast you are sending based on your network io

[finite jewel]

I will try that out

So guys i have this code here in which Im just seeing that whether a port is open or not using netcat, But when i check for the word "host" in port_response it just returns NO but in the actual response open does exist!

IP = "The_Ip"
PORT = "3333"

word = "open"

port_response = str(subprocess.run("nc -vz"+" "+IP+ " " + PORT, shell=True))

if word in port_response: 
        print("ok")

else : 
        print("NO") ```

The response : 

The_Ip : inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host
(UNKNOWN) [The_Ip] 3333 (?) open
NO

As you can see the word "open" does exist here!

Subprocess.run returns a dict data type i belive, try port_response.output

!d subprocess.run

[errant bay]

subprocess.run

subprocess.run(args, *, stdin=None, input=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, capture_output=False, shell=False, cwd=None, timeout=None, check=False, encoding=None, errors=None, ...)```
Run the command described by *args*. Wait for command to complete, then return a [`CompletedProcess`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.CompletedProcess "subprocess.CompletedProcess") instance.

The arguments shown above are merely the most common ones, described below in [Frequently Used Arguments](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#frequently-used-arguments) (hence the use of keyword-only notation in the abbreviated signature). The full function signature is largely the same as that of the [`Popen`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen "subprocess.Popen") constructor - most of the arguments to this function are passed through to that interface. (*timeout*, *input*, *check*, and *capture\_output* are not.)

hi guys, where does the DHCP gets its ip ranges from like where does it get the ip database to redistribute to the local computers

[knotty iris]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network?section=2#Private_IPv4_addresses

got a question of my own: when a packet arrives on port x, is the IP header processed and stripped by the kernel or is it and it's inner layers handed directly to the listening software?

[cedar forum]

kernel

well, soooort of depends on how you open the socket and stuff

but yes, IP is normally long gone by the time the packet enters userland, and normally TCP/UDP is as well

if you use raw sockets however, you can implement TCP/IP in userland

and using tun/tap interfaces, you can implement IP handling and even ethernet frame handling in userland (though should never do this for prod really, lol)

[knotty iris]

i see. thanks for the amazing explanation lol

[cedar forum]

👍

it's one of those things where it's like

90% of the time yeah, but it depends on how you're doing it

[cedar forum]

it's a config option on the router

you'll specify a CIDR and the DHCP server will allocate from that

so if you set it to 10.0.0.0/8 then it'll allocate ips starting 10.0.0.1 and so on

client sends a discovery message, server says "hi i'm here!", client requests an IP, server says "alright, take 10.x.x.x"

[opaque gulch]

ahhh i see

I'm trying to make a custom proxy server and this is killing me. I'm trying to use the low level socket libary so that's most likely why but does anyone know any guides/resources i can use to achieve this with python? Is there a raw to send the raw http request?

@iron fjord, just in case you're not aware, https://mitmproxy.org/ is in python and you can write a custom proxy based on that. Depends on what you want to do with it.

A solution is to provide the state and the state changes via the webserver as a websocket. And then have each pi connect the the websocket to receive updates. If you use FastAPI as the web server, it already comes with websocket support: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/websockets/

Hello all, looking for recommendations on simple graphical packages to plot network devices and their physical connections on.

I've written a script that can log into any number of devices and pull their CDP/connection data. This tells me a few key pieces of info: remote/local port, remote/local hostname, model, etc. I am currently saving all of this data into a nice dictionary/yaml format and would like to know what my options are to graph this automatically

i'm trying to create an http post that uses HTTPDigestAuth and i see you pass in the username/password, but how do i set the realm?

[gloomy ridge]

For most use cases it replaces Flask, but you can combine both. For your scenario, you should be able to do all in FastAPI. BTW, Flask does web sockets, too, (you just need to install an add-on, like described here: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/add-a-websocket-route-to-your-flask-2-x-application) so you can use Flask if you like.

[silver harness]

Well ppl say fastAPI is fresher and faster, so I'll probably give it a try

[gloomy ridge]

It's new and awesome and focuses on the creation of APIs, not so much web sites. And it comes with great docs. Flask is a good choice for websites where the user interface is important (and so is Django). For my own projects: If it's mainly an API with maybe a simple form, I chose FastAPI. For a website I chose Flask. And for a real world project, you can chose to have both.

Can someone help me understand why download managers like JDownloader are able to successfully retrieve files that I cannot with requests? Same home IP, correctly-formed browser headers, session, no proxies...

What is the difference between their request and a basic one using the requests library?

[ember ledge]

@wind oriole

it depends on the website

that is hosting the file

for example if you are using jdownloader to fetch data from mega then mega is closely integrated with the browser

and therefore it will be hard to achieve the same merely from the python context with requests

websites generally do a lot of tricks and dont just simply give you a link to the file you want to download

its not that simple always, sometimes the data is sent in many chunks over multiple connections, sometimes it may require some javascript trickery

at the front-end level

some websites actively make it hard to just download files from them, you can think of Netflix as an example, they wouldnt want their content to be easily downloadable so they take steps to prevent that

Did u find the problem/solution?

[earnest blaze]

I didn't check, but I can do now

[earnest blaze]

Yoy're receiving from two different threads, who's to say which thread gets what data?
The data ends up effectively lost.
Additionally you're receiving arbitrary amounts, that's just a bad idea, due to nagle's algorithm,you'll end up reading the data of many sends in on recv since it will be sent out as one tcp segment.
And even if you disable the algorithm this doesn't make it any less bad of an idea.
Yes, that tutorial you read or watched where they just hammer 1024 in every recv call is popularizing a bad practice.
(At least for tcp, for udp it's a different story)

[earnest blaze]

Also the two problems feed off each other, both are bad enough on their own, but the thread won't terminate unless it receives something that when decoded is equal to a particular string and also , however that isn't guaranteed since you're probably reading more than you need to, and also the other thread is already running and fighting for data which in turn and in turn leads to more fighting.

[earnest blaze]

Normally to fix this is (with with minimal effort, i.e continue using threads instead of switching to asynchrony)
you'd need to make a one and only centralized receival thread, which will receive all the data and then dispatch them to the other threads waiting on it with a queue.
However, that still doesn't fix the second issue, and a more important glaring one, which I haven't talked about yet.
You don't need a second thread at all.
Just look at clientListen, even if it worked correctly what is it going to accomplish?
It's a loop,that breaks immediately upon receiving something, so what's the point?
Even more importantly that thing could only be one thing and that's the start signal, which is what'll essentially start up the whole game's logic, so why is it even in a thread?
You could just put that part before the logic loop of the game and tell the user to wait for another player to connect, and then just wait. And when you receive the signal, start the game.

How to "catch" the requests a site makes with python?

Like what I can see in network dev tools in chrome i want to grab with python

[frozen drum]

if you are using the python requests library, requests aren't made without your own doing.
If you are using selenium to automate requests in a browser you can look up DesiredCapabilities

[faint seal]

From a pure syntax POV -
You should use async/threading in your case for receiving the requests (don't use them synchronously in a loop); along with a for loop instead of a while loop, and separate the stages.
e.g. don't generate the links and call the site while you're opening/creating files.

[ember ledge]

So I have a web page. But I want it to also return a JSON, so for example. When I go to the page on my browser. It shows the page. But when I do a get request like an api, that it will give me a json back, even if I get the webpage as well that doesn’t matter.

[brave vessel]

why use the same route?

the requests are basically the same wether they're made from a browser or from a script, but i guess you could look into headers

like user-agent but i think its just a lot of struggle for nothing

you could also use parameters

[prisma cobalt]

you could make it so a GET request returns the page and a POST request would return your data
i know you said you still want it too be a GET request but... why? it overcomplicates things
if you do want a GET request for both your page AND your JSON response then either use different routes (reccomended) or do some clunky header validation like flexflower said

[prisma cobalt]

or or or since you dont mind getting the webpage back as well with your GET requests, you could put the JSON in an HTML comment in your webpage and then parse it out but this is inefficient to say the least

[prisma cobalt]

upon client connection you pass in: args=(conn,addr)
but in your function definition you declare you args as (addr, conn)
you've basically swapped them round and since the addr arg is a tuple of the ip and address, the recv method will fail

[paper nimbus]

can proxy servers modify the headers of "https" request?

@ember ledge The reason am asking whether a proxy can modify a https request header is because one of the proxy providers I use, I tried sending GET instead of HEAD to save on bandwidth on some given requests, but when I checked the next day to see if I had saved bandwidth, lo and behold, there wasn't any difference. So I don't understand how some of these proxy providers measure there bandwidth, I was just confused and only suspected they either modify headers, so they must be doing man-in-the-middle somewhere... (because the requests are encrypted) Do large proxy provider do this?

Hello. I'm brand new. I don't know a lick of python yet but I can learn! I'm trying to figure out how to run a particular GCcolab project on my local machine, I think it's possible in this case. I have Anaconda and Atom... If any kind soul is willing to help or just chat a little, answer a few questions, that would be awesome! Thanks!

[eager meteor]

I promise I'm not as dumb as I sound...

[ember ledge]

Personally I would help but i don't know much about your project sorry!

Is anyone here down to help me on a project if you want too dm me.

[placid haven]

It's kind of vague, it might be easier to get help if you can ask a more specific question

[ember ledge]

is the project open source?

because otherwise we wont really be able to help

What is the difference between incoming-outgoing traffic and inbound and outbound traffic?

[ember ledge]

programming language for creating/managing databases

[ember ledge]

inbound is the traffic that comes to you from the outside, outbound is the traffic that you send out into the network

oh, i think i misunderstood your question, there is no difference

incoming, inbound and ingress can all mean the same thing

I'm working on a bot that sends a request to the server and it returns with a variable named result:[] and inside there is a line variable line:"" and there are multiple of them

how can i read the line variable with json?

[steep talon]

Maybe just run the tcpdump command in the background and redirect the stdoutput to a file which could be parsed and then appropriately rate limited

[still loom]

Can't you just iterate over through the result variable and store the value in dict/json format?

[ember ledge]

I've tried that but i nede to parse it because the owner is forcing me to do so

[next jasper]

request's Response object has .json() method. After you have it, the object will be accessible like normal python nested dicts and lists
As you said you get a result key with a list:

r = requests.post(...) #or get, or whatever
data = r.json()
for elem in data['result']:
    print(elem)

[golden escarp]

Hey there.
I want to be able to connect to my work machine through web browser.
So basically,
I have a server running on my work, I want to be able to connect it through a web broswer (how can I set the domain and stuff).
basic, thing I did is to route traffic to aws server then to my machine (I don't want to do that).
Also, I don't want to use (open-ssh server), then connect via the shell from my home machine.

Any ideas?

Basics:
server (running for example jupyterlab, any program on some port).

multiple machine want to connect to that server via some domain

[torpid pollen]

you can use ssh to build a SOCKS server, or you can do port forwarding with ssh and it'll route specific local ports to whatever remote port you want. another solution is to use VSCode's remote development + ipynbs. I know you said you don't want to youse open-ssh, but these are probably the easiest ways to bypass a firewall. otherwise, there's not really a domain setting you can do if you're not on that network
@golden escarp

[mortal cypress]

for django

i have this get view thingy

and when i try to send a get request with axios

it always has the broken pipe error:

does anyone know a good solution to this...

[torpid pollen]

what does something like curl respond with?

[wintry compass]

It means the client didn't wait for response and send another request. If I am not wrong.

[daring kite]

yeah

[ember ledge]

DDoSing yourself isn't against the law if you have permission to do so.

[light bluff]

Never said it is, you can hack anyone with their permission

[ember ledge]

I agree, but someone showed !rule5

Or whatever it is.

That shouldn't of been showed just wanted to back you up.

It's totally legal if you have permission.

print('Neighbours Wifi V.7')
print('––––––––––––––––')
print('Enter a selected ip address:')

def myping(host):
response = os.system("ping -c 1 " + host)

if response == 0:
    return True
else:

[main burrow]

anyone ever ran into a issue where when u copy the requests code from postman, it doesn't work, but the http.client does?
Both with the exact same headers and payload

[ember ledge]

First, protocols are just a set of rules and how-to instructions, for example in English language, you can't just say gibberish to an english speaker without conforming to basic rules of English and expect some kind of response. You have to conform to those basic rules of English in order for the person you are speaking with to understand you, and give you a valid reply. It's the same thing with protocols in computer science.

HTTP protocol is used when you access the websites on the internet, what it means is that your computer sends a message to some website that must be in the format specified by HTTP protocol, otherwise the website won't be able to serve you anything. Now, HTTP proxy is just some computer on the internet which acts as a "middle man" between you and the website. So instead of you sending your HTTP request directly to the website, you instead send it to the proxy and the proxy will pass your HTTP request further to the website, without modifying it in any way.

[ember ledge]

you can just pass x to myping() when calling it, no need for + x

~~So I'm reading about implementing TLS using the websockets package and the example for setting up encryption uses a file localhost.pem that contains a private key and a cert. I'm assuming that the key and cert used in the example are not to be used production? I will have to generate my own .pem file using the ssl module correct? The localhost.pem file is found here https://websockets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro/quickstart.html#encrypt-connections~~ (Okkkk this file is for localhost use only lmao im a dummy)

[earnest blaze]

That doesn't have anything to do with the error, a connection reset error would require the connection to have been established to begin with.
It typically occurs if one end suddenly came down hard. Like an exception being raised. Or killing the process.
You would firstly need to check everyhting else functions properly, and then check how you're handeling disconnections, both the ones that adhere to the procedure and unexpected ones.

[worn salmon]

Any1 knows how to "stream incoming events"? Thought it is websocket or smth, but doesn't work, how to implement this? The code I tried py session = aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=_HEADERS) async with session.ws_connect('https://lichess.org/api/stream/event') as ws: async for msg in ws: print(msg.data)

API reference https://lichess.org/api#operation/apiStreamEvent
The error is py WSServerHandshakeError( aiohttp.client_exceptions.WSServerHandshakeError: 200, message='Invalid response status', url=URL('https://lichess.org/api/stream/event')
Probably I am doing something wrong
Maybe this is not even websockets
Help me someone

[worn salmon]

Seems like I found a method and it is not a websocket definitely

r = await session.get(...)
async for data in r.content.iter_any():
    print(data)```
Is this correct?

[ember ledge]

does anyone know how to use proxies with socket to do get requests? i can not seem to figure it out for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated

[subtle escarp]

If you could, the socket documentation would DEFINITELY have a section on that. Have you checked it?

[ember ledge]

It doesn’t

It’s not like requests where you can set it you have to connect and send your request through it

I’m getting code 400 when I do

[ember ledge]

remove the sensitive parts

but generally

import requests

proxies = {
  "http": "http://1.1.1.1:9040",
  "https": "https://5.6.7.8:1001"
}

r = requests.get("http://www.example.com", proxies=proxies)

I’ll post it when I’m home thanks so much

[ember ledge]

Isn’t this for the requests package?

edited

I know that

I’m asking specifically for socket

oh

for sockets

its simple

if you use http proxies

you just connect to the proxy server

and then in the actual HTTP payload you send, you modify Host

header to point to the final website

Ah I figured that

But I’m doing ssl

Does that affect anything

no i don't believe so

Ah ok I did that and got code 400

I’ll post code when im home

400 is bad request

so you most likely have malformed payload

can you

post the actual payload

you send

over the socket

?

remove sensitive stuff

[ember ledge]

ok just ping me

Yes thanks

[boreal dirge]

So, I’m an idiot, absolutely no idea what I’m doing with sockets, I have a basic understanding of python. I’m trying to make a simple chat system with sockets that works over the internet to talk with friends but any guide or blog or video I follow doesn’t even work locally. Please someone help.

British timezone by the way I may not respond immediately

[ember ledge]

ok so heres my code

@boreal dirge one sec, let me answer to @ember ledge first

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yuwuvalulu

[ember ledge]

is this how you would want it formatted ?

atm im getting an ssl wrong version number

whats the actual traceback

back o the sock.do_handshake()

?

what is the error message

are you positive

that this proxy server supports HTTPS

yes

actually

let me attempt a connection without https

i cant even ping this

server

on my end

try ping 209.127.191.180

from command line

this proxy server is down

oooooooof

wait

[ember ledge]

if you get any particular error, just paste it here

let me try doing this using requests

and see what happens

the proxy server

you are trying to connect to

seems to be down

bro

you can't connect to it

no

its working

i just used requests and it worked fine

you just cant ping it

[ember ledge]

i did

and it failed

on my end

[boreal dirge]

Mostly errno 111 (connection refused) although a moment ago I got errno 61 instead. I can’t do any trouble shooting or anything right now as my laptop is turned off and I have to go to sleep soon so

[ember ledge]

i used the requests library not cmd

also

u wouldnt be able to because its ip authorization

[ember ledge]

over the internet to talk with friends - do you have a server in the cloud

[ember ledge]

fair enough

are you sure i,formatted

these 2 values don't have new line

bytes

or anything

oooooooooops

no

ignore those

wdym ignore those, they are embedded into raw HTTP payload

[boreal dirge]

Uhhhhh, I don’t know, I have a raspi that I have my own basic onion site running on, I could use that but for the time being no

[ember ledge]

string= ("GET /v1/assets/63993845/resellers HTTP/1.1\r\n"
"Host: economy.roblox.com\r\n"
"Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
"X-CSRF-TOKEN: {}\r\n"
"cookie: {}\r\n"
"\r\n".format(i,formatted))```

thats the actual string

i know, but the values of i and formatted will be included

those headers were for my comparison in latency to requests

in the string

are you positive those don't have any

unexpected

bytes

yes

i tested without proxies and it works

sock = ssl_context.wrap_socket(
sock,
server_side=False,
do_handshake_on_connect=False,
suppress_ragged_eofs=False,
server_hostname="209.127.191.180")

for server host name do i put the roblox endpoint in there or the proxy endpoint

[ember ledge]

then it means

i would assume the proxy

the issue is with raw HTTP payload

you are manually setting

when using sockets

considering your usual request.get connecting to the same exact endpoint

worked just fine

yes and using socket without proxies also worked fine for those headers

im pretty sure roblox requires ssl as well

considering those cookies are sensitive data

@ember ledge when using requests

did you also provide

csrf

and cookie

headers

the head variable is what i use in requests

and you are positive you used

proxy

with requests

and didn't just send a request directly to roblox

O

i did the proxy thing on a different wwebsite

so you didn't actually

receive any data

from this proxy server

yet

other than 400

status code

regardless whether with requests or socket

im trying it now

yes

it works

with those headers and with the same proxy

i think i have a problem with ssl and the proxy

SSL does not care about

about the actual

raw HTTP request

the SSL server that does all the "verifications" can't even see

the HTTP payload

hm

can you post the code

you used for requests

[boreal dirge]

I gotta go offline now, just incase you missed it, here was my answer to the server question

[ember ledge]

for i in range(20):
    t0 = time.time()
    response = requests.get(f"https://economy.roblox.com/v1/assets/{item_id}/resellers",headers=head,proxies=proxies)
    t1 = time.time()
    elapsed.append(t1-t0)
    time.sleep(1)
    # print(response.content)

there is one difference in the headers

the content type for requests is json while it is text for socket

[ember ledge]

here is the rule, residential ISP clients in one location can not communicate with residential ISP clients in another location

only when there is some kind of intermediary server (with static IP and also that allows ingress traffic)

so running your own hidden service would fall into that condition, because between you (server) and your friends there is a tor network that acts as that "intermediary server"

but if for the time being no

then no you won't be able to directly talk with your friends directly when both of you are regular residential ISP clients

string= ("GET www.example.com HTTP/1.1\r\n"
"Host: example.com\r\n")
conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
conn.connect(("209.127.191.180",9279))
conn.sendall(str.encode(string))
item=conn.recv(4096)
print(item)
print("hi")

here is something else i tried

got a code 400

oop

forgot an extra /r/n

"GET www.example.com HTTP/1.1\r\n"

still a bad request tho

you mean't "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n"

?

or /v1/assets/63993845/resellers

oh

for example.com /

this is just trying on a different website

will do

i know

but 400 error

is justified

because in first line

of request

you put the wrong value for path

o

502 bad gateway

its a webshare error

my proxy provider

i ran the same code and got autherization error

after fixing the path

you have to be ip verified with those proxies

or have the user and pass

i can give you the authorization

no need

[ember ledge]

what do you get

from running this

after fixing the path

502

here

and adding extra \r\n

502 means proxy

HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway\r\nProxy-Connection: close\r\nX-Webshare-Error: 502\r\nX-Webshare-Reason: target_connect_refused\r\nDate: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 00:05:51 GMT\r\nContent-Length: 19\r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\nBad gateway error: '

issue

yeah

it says webshare error

fair enough

you are using a private proxy

that you paid for

and foolish of me for trying to replicate

now back to the 400

that error is most definitely raised when the actual HTTP request is malformed

yes

but im fairly certain there is nothing wrong with the headers

or anything like that

you are including Authorization header

too right?

for proxies?

no

its ip authorized

alright

well

how would i do that

anyways

https://proxy.webshare.io/docs/#proxy-configuration

have you not looked into the docs?

wait nvm i don't think they even showcase how to actually use a proxy but rather how to interact with your account

@ember ledge once again

they show how to use it for requests

lets go back to the simpler example

with example.com

with example.com?

yeah

correct

uh

ok

[ember ledge]

so about this

what does the proxies

?

proxies = {
"http": "http://209.127.191.180:9279",
"https": "http://209.127.191.180:9279"
}

no ssl

actually

i sent https to go through http

wait a minute

OK

okokok

u were right

i dont think these proxies support https

LOL

heres what i ran

elapsed=[]
proxies = {

  "https": "https://209.127.191.180:9279"
}

time.sleep(1)
for i in range(20):
    t0 = time.time()
    response = requests.get(f"https://economy.roblox.com/v1/assets/{item_id}/resellers",headers=head,proxies=proxies)
    t1 = time.time()

print(sum(elapsed)/20)

when i forced it to use https

it broke

One second, I have internet issues

with this error

[ember ledge]

no worries

look like again

ok

its good now

[ember ledge]

correct

the rule is

inside of proxies

variable

both the key

and value

should start with the same protocol

"https": "https://209.127.191.180:9279"

ok so the reason i did that

is i copied the thing

from another project

and this is wrong: "https": "http://209.127.191.180:9279"

where it works

i forgot that i did that

until i looked at it

because it breaks the request

okok

so now i just should remove the ssl stuff

verify=False

try adding this parameter

to your .get()

that wouldnt work

ive tried that before

but ill try it now

should i remove proxies?

no

leave everything as it is

all the SSL errors you get are

errors when you establish a connection with your proxy

via SSL

the roblox domain does not play any part here yet

ik

right

so

elapsed=[]
proxies = {

  "https": "https://209.127.191.180:9279"
}

time.sleep(1)
for i in range(20):
    t0 = time.time()
    response = requests.get(f"https://economy.roblox.com/v1/assets/{item_id}/resellers",verify=False, headers=head,proxies=proxies)
    t1 = time.time()
    elapsed.append(t1-t0)
    time.sleep(1)
    # print(response.content)

print(sum(elapsed)/20)
print(elapsed)

same error

should add http proxy instead

and it would work

but setting verify to false makes roblox reject the request

i

stand corrected

aparently roblox does not care about verify=False

maybe only for post requests

[ember ledge]

only if your proxy only supports http

and not https

then sure

i did that

elapsed=[]
proxies = {
    "http": "http://209.127.191.180:9279/",
    "https": "http://209.127.191.180:9279/"
}

time.sleep(1)
for i in range(20):
    t0 = time.time()
    response = requests.get(f"https://economy.roblox.com/v1/assets/{item_id}/resellers",verify=False, headers=head,proxies=proxies)
    t1 = time.time()
    elapsed.append(t1-t0)
    time.sleep(1)
    print(response.content)

print(sum(elapsed)/20)
print(elapsed)```

this worked

verify=False

"http": "http://209.127.191.180:9279/",

just leave this one

here

the conclusion from this is that your proxy does not support SSL

once again this is probably mentioned

got this fun little thing

but it still works

[ember ledge]

yes

how you didn't know that prior

is a wonder

its probably mentioned

in your dashboard

ikr

where you bought the proxies

i didnt buy them

its just free for now

[ember ledge]

does this break

the code

or just a warning

nope

just a warning

now back to socket

the issue with http proxies is that the actual request you send

to the proxy

is in cleartext

and anyone on the wire can listen on it

yeahhhhhh

but

tbh

it doesnt matter

so there must be proxies supporting https on webshare thingy

alright

the cookies i am sending are on alt accounts so no problems there

[ember ledge]

this

after you've fixed the path

and added \r\n

you get 502

right?

yup

conn.sendall(str.encode(string))

string= ("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n"
"Host: example.com\r\n"
         "\r\n")
conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
conn.connect(("209.127.191.180",9279))
conn.sendall(str.encode(string))
item=conn.recv(4096)
print(item)
print("hi")```

did you mean conn.sendall(string.encode("utf-8"))

whoopsie

but yeah still 502

post the code

again

string= ("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n"
"Host: example.com\r\n"
         "\r\n")
conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
conn.connect(("209.127.191.180",9279))
conn.sendall(string.encode("utf-8"))
item=conn.recv(4096)
print(item)
print("hi")```

any body

in response?

like error message

along with 502 status

and also

i tried this adjustment on the roblox example

i also got 502

once again

headers

that you used with requests

did they contain anything that webshare

requires

for webshare

for authentication

uh

no

lets try doing it using user and password

how would i do that with socket

[ember ledge]

okay hold on

can't believe i missed that

you can't forward https traffic

http?

through an http proxy

so if that code worked

its because it ignored

the proxy

i can try ip api

elapsed=[]

# No reason to provide "https" one because our proxy doesn't support https
proxies = {
    "http": "http://209.127.191.180:9279/",
}

time.sleep(1)
for i in range(20):
    t0 = time.time()
    response = requests.get(f"https://economy.roblox.com/v1/assets/{item_id}/resellers",verify=False, headers=head,proxies=proxies) # trying to access https website via http proxy, the 'proxies' parameter is ignored.
    t1 = time.time()
    elapsed.append(t1-t0)
    time.sleep(1)
    print(response.content)

print(sum(elapsed)/20)
print(elapsed)

and this would still return a valid 200 status code

giving an impression that a proxy was used but it wasn't

i assure u it works

you would directly send a request to roblox

i know it works

but it doesn't use proxy

behind the scenes

i just tried it

on ipify.org

[ember ledge]

here you access http website

[ember ledge]

here you access https website

2 different things

it would give me an error
