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.
