The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Simple Server Code

This tutorial guides you through coding a server connection using Python's socket library. It covers setting up the server, initializing and configuring the socket, binding it to an IP and port, and listening for incoming connections. The video also includes testing the server and debugging common issues, ensuring compatibility with both Python 2 and 3.

What should you do if you encounter outdated functions while coding?

• Restart your computer

• Ignore the errors and continue coding

• Check online for updated function names

• Switch to a different programming language

What is the first step in setting up the server code?

• Import the socket library

• Create a new Python file

• Define the server IP address

• Set up a virtual environment

Which protocol is used for the server connection in this tutorial?

• HTTP

• UDP

• FTP

• TCP

What is the purpose of the 'setsockopt' function in socket programming?

• To bind the socket to an IP

• To set options for the socket

• To listen for incoming connections

• To close the socket connection

What IP address is typically used for local testing?

• 192.168.1.1

• 10.0.0.1

• 127.0.0.1

• 255.255.255.0

How many connections can the server listen for if 'listen(5)' is used?

• Unlimited

• One

• Two

• Five

What does the 'accept' function return in socket programming?

• The server's IP address

• The client's IP address and socket descriptor

• The server's port number

• The client's username

What should you do if you encounter a 'Permission denied' error when running the server?

• Restart the server

• Change the port number

• Reinstall Python

• Check the file path in the shebang line

What command is used to make a Python script executable?

• chmod

• chown

• chgrp

• chroot

What is the next step after successfully testing the server code?

• Deploy the server to production

• Start coding the client or payload

• Optimize the server code

• Document the server setup
