nclib 0.7.2

nclib is a python socket library that wants to be your friend.

nclib provides:

• Easy-to-use interfaces for connecting to and listening on TCP and UDP sockets
• A better socket class, the Netcat object
  • Convenient receive methods for common socket usage patterns
  • Highly customizable logging
  • Interactive mode, connecting the socket to your stdin/stdout
  • Intelligent detection of socket closes and connection drops
  • Long-running functions cleanly abortable with ctrl-c
  • Lots of aliases in case you forget the right method name
• Mechanisms to launch processes with their in/out streams connected to sockets
  • Launch a process with gdb attached
• TCP and UDP server classes for writing simple python daemons
• A script to easily daemonize command-line programs

Documentation is available at https://nclib.readthedocs.io/ and source code is available at https://github.com/rhelmot/nclib

If you are familiar with pwntools, nclib provides much of the functionaly that pwntools’ socket wrappers do, but with the bonus feature of not being pwntools.
