A simple TCP client and server for easy testing
Project description
SIMPLE TCP TESTING TOOL
Simple tools to manually test socket programming project. Requires python3.
Features:
- Arguments can be inputted via command line arguments vs via interactive console
- Verbose mode vs silent mode
- SSL/TLS wrapped socket (optional)
- Does not require additional python module (only using
socket
,argparse
,ssl
, andsys
)
Common Usage:
python3 simple_tcp.py -s -p 3000
: start server socket on port 3000 and accept connection from all interfacepython3 simple_tcp.py -c -h 192.168.1.20 -p 3000
: connect to 192.168.1.20:3000python3 simple_tcp.py -i
: interactive mode, the script will ask for host, port and mode interactively (easier for noobs)
Arguments:
- "-h"/"--help": display all command line arguments
- "-a"/"--host": (optional) set target host, ex:
-a 192.168.137.20
, will default tolocalhost
if not set - "-p"/"--port": (optional) set target port, ex:
-p 8888
, will default to80
if not set - "-b"/"--buffer": (optional) set buffer size, ex:
-b 1024
, will default to4092
if not set - flag mode: "-s"/"--server" or "-c"/"--client", can only choose one, will default to client mode if not set
- flag interactive: "-i"/"--interactive", ask for host, port, buffer, and mode interactively (automatically assumed if no arguments provided)
- flag verbose: "--verbose", display verbose output (useful for debugging)
SSL Arguments:
- flag ssl: "--ssl": add this flag to use ssl mode
- "--ssl_server_certificate": set path to ssl server certificate (for ssl server mode only)
- "--ssl_server_privatekey": set path to ssl server private key (for ssl server mode only)
- "--ssl_client_ca": set path to certificate authority (CA)'s certificate (for ssl client mode only)
