socc

Socc is a simple library designed to provide a wrapper for the creation and management of connection-based sockets. It is very useful for writing socket CTF challenge solutions.

socc vs socket

socc

import socc

hostname = '127.0.0.1'
port = 80

s = socc.socc(hostname, port)

x = s.recv()

s.send('Hello World!')

s.close()

socket

import socket

hostname = '127.0.0.1'
port = 80

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((hostname, port))

x = s.recv(1024).decode()

s.send('Hello World!\r\n'.encode('utf-8'))

s.close()
