RAW network programming under Windows
RAW network programming under Windows it's not always possible because of the security limitations that microsoft introduced in the latest Windows versions and that affects WinSocket API. On UNIX systems I'm able to freely send raw packets (for example I'm able to compile IP packets with a src address defined by me) through raw socket API, but if I do the same on a Windows system socket module raises an error. Now I'm searching for something different from raw socket api, an extension module able to send arbitrary RAW packets through the network. I noticed that WinPcap (http://www.winpcap.org/) has a function to do that (pcap_sendpacket()) so I started to search a Python wrapping for WinPcap. I found: pcapy: http://oss.coresecurity.com/projects/pcapy.html pypcap: http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/pypcap/ ...but none of them include a wrap for pcap_sendpacket() function.

Limitate speed of a socket-based data transferring

binary files through the network. This piece of code represents how do
I get a file from a remote peer and save it on my local hard drive:

while 1:
buf = sock.recv(2048)
if len(buf) == 0:
break
file_obj.write(buf)
file_obj.close()

If you send a PORT command you're telling server to establish a connection with you, not the contrary. In this case, even if you are an FTP client, you temporary ACCEPT an outbound connection from the FTP server. The right format of a FTP PORT command is: PORT x,x,x,x,y,z ...where x(s) represents your IP address in dotted form and (x * y) the TCP port you bind.

Using RAW_SOCKETS on win XP SP2
Hi all. I'd need to send a TCP SYN packet having a certain string as

using Python and an high level packet building library called "Impacket" to
build TCP and IP datagrams. I wrote this simple code that works on Linux but
not on Windows XP SP2, probably because of SP2 security limitations. Do you

I found an article of Fyodor (author of nmap port scanner) about how to
solve this kind of SP2 limitations:

...that says:
> "Instead of sending raw IP packets, we move one layer down and send our

Do you got any idea about how could I implement a stuff like this?
Best regards.
from impacket import ImpactPacket
from socket import *
src = '10.0.0.1'
dst = '10.0.0.25'
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP)
s.setsockopt(IPPROTO_IP, IP_HDRINCL, 1)
ip = ImpactPacket.IP()
ip.set_ip_src(src)
ip.set_ip_dst(dst)
tcp = ImpactPacket.TCP()
tcp.set_SYN()

asyncore DoS vulnerability
Hi all. I've just terminated a server application using asyncore /
asynchat frameworks.
I wrote a test script that performs a lot of connections to the server
app and I discovered that asyncore (or better, select()) can manage
only a limited number of file descriptors (aka simultaneous
connections).
When this number is reached select() raises an error but asyncore
doesn't handle this exception (a crash occurs).
If you want to try this I pasted two scripts below: a server and a
client.
On my Windows XP system server.py the crash occurs when 512
simultaneous connections are reached.
Here's the traceback:

I've discovered this problem accidentally by writing a small test script but personally I've never seen a paper describing it.

Re: WindowsNT user authentication
Another question, I'm sorry. Do you got any idea about how to get permissions of a file/directory given the username? For example: I would like to know if C:\my_file.ext is readable/ writable by user 'x' or not. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

distutils and paths
Hi there. I played with distutils for some hours but I didn't figured out how to solve this problem so I would really be thankful if someone could help me out. My package is structured as follows: setup.py | mypkg | | | __init__.py | library.py | test | | | test.py | doc | doc.html doc_files | doc.css By using setup.py script I would like to copy "test" and "doc" directories (and all files contained in them) into Python's site- package directory (on Windows "C:\Python2x\Lib\site-packages\mypkg", on unix "/usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/mypkg".) Could someone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
