simple_tcp's Introduction

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, and sys)

python3 simple_tcp.py -s -p 3000: start server socket on port 3000 and accept connection from all interface
python3 simple_tcp.py -c -h 192.168.1.20 -p 3000: connect to 192.168.1.20:3000
python3 simple_tcp.py -i: interactive mode, the script will ask for host, port and mode interactively (easier for noobs)

"-h"/"--help": display all command line arguments
"-a"/"--host": (optional) set target host, ex: -a 192.168.137.20, will default to localhost if not set
"-p"/"--port": (optional) set target port, ex: -p 8888, will default to 80 if not set
"-b"/"--buffer": (optional) set buffer size, ex: -b 1024, will default to 4092 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)

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)
