Python Socket Programming Tutorial

This socket programming tutorial will show you how to connect multiple clients to a server using python 3 sockets. It covers how to send messages from clients to server and from server to clients. I will also show you how to host your socket server locally or globally across the internet so anyone can connect. This uses the python 3 socket and threading module.

    Hi nice bit of coding but there is a number of errors in your networking description. Firstly the modem is not where your public address will sit it will be on the wan interface of the router and the router is in fact firewall as it will hide the private addresses behind the public address. You are dealing with tcp ports the is 65535 ports full list en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers And the number you are seeing with the received message on the server is in fact the source port. Also you would not run your server on the modem it would be run inside your net work and using Nat you would forward connections to the server via the router but this would be bad idea on a home internet connection as the router will not be secure enough as you normally what to this via a DMZ.

    You didn't do a terrible job at the networking primer. I would have done some of it differently, but I am an expert in the field :p The python part was excellent, clearly you are an expert in that field :) :) One thing to note on the ipconfig output: While your IPv4 address is private LAN local (RFC1918 addresses are not routed on the internet), your IPv6 prefix is publicly routed. 2607:fea8:: is allocated to Rogers Communications, and they sub-allocate to their customers, apparently as the "standard" /64 which is so handy for SLAAC. Thanks for all these excellent python videos, yours are several notches above most of what is available on youtube!

Still one of my favorite projects (haven't done much coding in the last 7 years). It was pretty cool seeing this all summarized in under an hour, might jave to do some more fiddling with sockets.

    Thank you Tim , i will just add some infos about making a public socket over the internet : - on the server side , you will have to add a new rule of type port being used to control connections for TCP / UDP .. mostly u will be using "tcp" in both the outbound and inbound rules. - probably run the scrip as admin just to avoid possible "Permission problems" - on the Client side u just gotta whitelist the client side program/app/script to allow all sending data over a tcp port .. else just go and add a rule as an inbound rule . - be carefull , hackers might actually exploit that to access your private stuff / mess the server , so unless you know what your doing .. practice just with trusted friends or alone . - do not forget setting up port-forwarding on the router , so instead having clients reaching that port exmpl "1337" on the modem public address , they will be redirected to local_ip:1337 instead of public_ip:1337, hopefully u get that. - I would suggest using NO-IP (ddns aka "Dynamic domain name server") instead of hardcoding you public ip directly . finally , feel free to subscribe I'm making such vids maybe not as good as Tim's but we're getting there.

    Since you didn't know: 8 bytes can be a number up to 18 quintillion, or 18 with 18 zeros, which, when used as a header could represent a 18,000 Petabyte message. So a 64 Byte header is a bit overkill since it's 18 quintillion to the eighth power (6 x 10^57).

    Good argument. Bad numbers. 1 Byte has 256 combinations. 64 Bytes would be 256^(64) = 1.3E+154 combinations. So lengths from 0 to 2^512-1 are possible. Fun fact: 10^80 is a common estimate for the number of atoms in the observable universe. Our number (~10^154) is almost that number squared. So you could note a bit for every atom, take those bits and write those bits into every atom. Now use the string of bits you get from reading all the bits you wrote in this process and you are still nowhere near the maximum length.

    @@duckslayr And now let's fix the math once again. He is talking about bytes, that he reserves 64 bytes as header, but he isn't using the whole length. He takes the length of the message as a number, converts it to string and then encodes it to the header. That means the maximum number for length is 10^64 - 1. It's actually one of the most inefficient methods I've ever seen. The crash that occurred when he was testing the client the first time wasn't that there is "some empty message" that is sent after connection but the client ended the connection immediately after establishing connection. I would suggest a little bit more research on the topic and it would be good to go.

    Hey, great tutorial! But... while making a project of my own using sockets, I found something interesting I think you should've included: it isn't a good idea to call sockets' send() method more times than needed, because it really affects how much data you can send per second. So, instead of sending the header and the message separately, it's better to do "socket.send(send_length + message)" (once they're both encoded, ofc). Found that out after making a simple game using sockets with pygame, where each client's position would have to be sent to the server as fast as possible, and then sent to each client once more. Initially, the clients' positions updated quite slowly; after that change, they updated in almost realtime. Love your channel!

    *If you can't see your server from outside of your local network:* Most frequent problem you may face while making server reachable over the Internet is port-forwarding. In most cases you should go to your router settings and forward your outer port 5050 to local port 5050 of your machine you running the server on. Cuz people who trying to reach you with your public IP litteraly will reach your router. So in situation from this video forwarding rules will tell router that if someone will try to connect to its 5050 port it should send 'em to 5050 port of 192.168.1.26 machine and not Macbook.

    Yeah you still get places in the world where they run DSL (internet over phone) or CATV (CAble TV - not to be confused with cat5). But even then you run into places where your "router" connects to the ISP "modem" - the ISP "modem" basically terminates the FO and splits up into LAN and Phone with TV coming through as well. Can not really comment on EU - but won't be surprised if it's similar (I'm from South Africa)

    Hello Tim, just want to add that socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) might return 127.0.0.1 on linux machines if there is an entry in /etc/hosts file. Removing this entry from the hosts file may cause other installed programs to break, the only reliable way (that I found) of finding the local IP is using a DNS ping. s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) s.connect(("8.8.8.8", 80)) SERVER = s.getsockname()[0] s.close() print(SERVER) Hope this helps.

    It depends on your background. If python is your first language it probably takes a few weeks to get started coding things on your own, and a few months before you start to feel at home in the language. If python is your programming language number 23, you can get started in 10-15 minutes. Still, python is unique in several ways that take time to learn, even with experience from 22 other languages. But you just asked about the basics :)

    Here's the basics: First, learn about variables and what they do. Learn some types such as numbers and strings. Then learn about conditional statements, which are most commonly 𝚒𝚏 and 𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚎. After that, learn about loops, such as 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚎 and 𝚏𝚘𝚛. Then learn about functions, which start with 𝚍𝚎𝚏 (which is short for _definition)_ in Python, and how a function can take a special variable called a parameter. From then on, learn about objects and methods (object orientation). In between, try to learn how to read Python documentation for the various libraries that exist out there. There are also some special pitfalls to know about Python, such as naming the file the same as your 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝 statement, for instance.

    The tutorial was really great and I did learn the basics of how to mess around with sockets. I do however have one complaint and that is the method you showed on how to make the server available on the internet. Having the server socket run on the Public IP would never work because multiple devices that are connected to your network share that same Public IP. How would the router know which device to forward that traffic to? I looked around on the Internet and Port Forwarding seemed like a viable and easy solution but unfortunately that didnt work. So how do we actually get our server socket on the internet?

  • @dannys2290

    @dannys2290

    Arljit, you would keep you local IP on the server.py application. then you would have to do port forwarding on your router facing the internet. For instance, i would forward all my SSH traffic from destined for port 4545 (public side) and route that traffic internally to my SSH server at 192.168.0.2 on port 22. So everything in my LAN would look like this: ssh user@192.168.0.2 while outside my LAN, it would look like: ssh user@65.34.7.23 -p 4545. For reference, these are Linux commands.

    You only need 4 bytes for a message header. This will let you represent numbers up to 4 bytes * 8 bits = 32 bits ^2 = 4,294,967,296 (integer), which is more than enough for chat messages. Given the sometimes small buffer sizes of TCP/IP layers, 64 bytes for a length header is excessive. But not only that, it's _dangerous!_ As shown before, you can use 64 bytes to represent _astronomical_ numbers, and there's no way in _Hell_ that a chat message will _ever_ be that long unless you sent only noise ... for years(!). But by exploiting a header with so much bloat, it becomes much easier to crack such a naïve implementation of a chat client to construct third party _Denial of Service_ (DOS) attacks. In other words, if any of these bad implementations are found in the wild, they're exploitable by evil hackers. So let's say, hypothetically, that a large TCP/IP buffer is about 1 Mb RAM. That's 1,048,576 bytes (and buffers can be much smaller than that). If you use just empty messages from a bad chat implementation, which is using headers that are 64 padded bytes long, then it only takes 1,048,576/64 = 16,384 messages to launch a successful DOS attack, as that is the amount of empty messages you need to fill the buffer. Now, that might seem like a lot but it's really nothing to a computer, so it would be a fairly trivial thing to implement, and especially if the chat application has such a bad design flaw. This is why most systems employ other defences against such things, but all it takes to break the first wall, is to infiltrate a poorly programmed chat application. Worst of all, _you'll_ be blamed for it, and not the hacker, since the hacker is merely exploiting your bad code to hide his identity while performing the attack.

Thank you for existing and doing tutorials like these! Just a quick question - how would one encrypt messages(end-to-end?)? I presume I can make up random letter alternatives for my program and like replace each letter within the messages with another one and later reverse it, but I suppose that it would be not that hard to decode.. Yeah f*** Trump and his no end-to-end encryption, I am not in America and I am against that either way.

    Hi, just a quick note. You will not be able to bind your public IP (or as we call it external IP address) to your local computer as you are sitting behind the firewall and that NATs (Network Address Translation) and hides your private/internal IP address to the outside world. Your private/internal IP address is non-routable on the internet and as such uses this method. The only way you can do this is to connect your computer directly to the internet but I do not recommend you do this, but if you are adamant you want to do this please ensure you have your computers firewall turned on. There are some other things you need to take into consideration but this is way to detailed for this thread. If any clarification is required please do not hesitate to contact me via this thread.
