Hi,
This is doubtless a really dumb question but is there an elegant way
of reading numbers formatted as hex from a datgram?
I get a datgram which contains values like this:
---DATAGRAM---
2aef2d43etc...
---/DATAGRAM--
where this represents 4 numbers: 2a, ef, and 2d43.
At the moment I am doing crazy things like converting it to a string,
slicing characters off (ie id = packet[0:2]), adding 0x to the front
and exec-ing the whole thing to get an integer.
I'll put my code in if you really want but it's just embarassing.
This is my first time trying to do something with sockets, so please
tell me if I have entirely missed the point. I know that you can use
read to get a number of bytes, but will that solve my problem? Can
anyone point me in the direction of a fool (ie me) proof tutorial on
using bits in python because I can't find anything. For example, is
it possible to read the binary data? At least then I am sure about
the packet structure (for a RADIUS RFC 2865 server, in the unlikely
event that anyone is interested).
TIA

First order improvement: instead of adding 0x and exec'ing,
use the built in "int" function: int('2a', 16) ==> 42 .
Better, use the "struct" standard library module, something like:
import struct
data = mysocket.recv(M AX_UDP_LEN)
struct.unpack(' BBH', data[0:4]) ==> (42, 239, 17197)
Of course you must look carefully at byte order, signed/unsigned,
etc. Do:
import struct
help(struct)

Don't ever exec data from an untrusted source. Use int(packet[0:2], 16). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I seem to be running into a limit of 64 queued datagrams. This isn't a
data buffer size; varying the size of the datagram makes no difference
in the observed queue size. If more datagrams are sent before some are
read, they are silently dropped. (By "silently," I mean, "tcpdump
doesn't record these as dropped packets.") This is a problem because
while my consumer can handle the overall load easily, the requests
often come in large...

I have been posting about a problem trying to encrypt certain data using

PROBLEM: the message digest obtained differs each time I execute the

Hi. I've been looking everywhere for this and can't find it, apologies
if I'm being obtuse: How do I set the max datagram packet size? I'm
using the socket module. It seem like it's hardcoded at 255, but I
need it to be larger.

Hi to all,
I've this problem:
I create a datagram socket. I create datagram socket with function
'Create'. The line of my code when I create is:
m_pSocket->Create(port,SOCK_DGRAM,FD_READ | FD_WRITE | FD_OOB |
FD_ACCEPT | FD_CONNECT | FD_CLOSE,strAddress);
Now when I send, I' ve error in runtime at this line:

no change to the clr, is relatively easy to implement and would be a great

To make things simpler and better readable I'd make all default parameters
named parameters so that you can decide for yourself which one to pass and
which not, rather than relying on massively overlaoded methods which
hopefully provide the best...

I know in TCP if you send a message down the wire, the OS may lump
subsequent messages into a buffer before sending it across the wire,
for efficiency. But, will the OS do the same thing with UDP?
I'm just concerned that I may be getting multiple messages in a single
datagram. I'm using a connectionless multicast paradigm where there
are multiple receivers listening asynchronously, and a single sender
sending synchronously.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
