This is what I got so far... Basically I want to recieve packets in a buffer pointer and then display them on the console screen.. Then after that I would like to feed this information into a ASM dll that has a function built into it that will decrypt the packets... You need a pointer to a buffer containing the packets in order for the function in the dll to work.


This kinda stuff

Code:

Any help would be awesome...

THANKS

OK, so what is your question?

heheh sorry..

so when i use the recv function it stores the packets in "buffer"?

How do i display them?

cout<<buffer<<endl;?

And to constantly record packet I just put it threw a infinite loop?

Also,

Code:

---

        if (nret == SOCKET_ERROR)
        {
                printf("recv()");
                WSACleanup();
                return NETWORK_ERROR;
        }

---

This if statement checker keeps activating... What am I doing wrong with the recv() function?

Thanks

Well, call this to get more information about a failure
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...asterror_2.asp

> cout<<buffer<<endl;?
Except it isn't really printable characters, you said it was encrypted.

something like

Code:

---

for ( int i = 0 ; i < nret ; i++ ) {
  cout << (int)buffer[i];  // add formatting to suit
}

---

Also bear in mind that for TCP, sending say 100 bytes in a single send() call does NOT guarantee that some later single recv() call will receive those 100 bytes. You have to reassemble the data byte by byte, if the network chose to fragment your data.

Thanks!


, but im getting an error saying that when I

Code:

---

recv(theSocket,buffer,256,0);

---

I get this error

Code:

---


WSAENOTCONN
10057
Socket is not connected.
A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using sendto) no address was supplied. Any other type of operation might also return this error—for example, setsockopt setting SO_KEEPALIVE if the connection has been reset.

---

Im trying to connect to myself.. Doesnt bind work on a connectionless conection..?

Code:

---

bind(theSocket, (LPSOCKADDR)&serverInfo, sizeof(struct sockaddr));

---

Oh, when I use connect..

Code:

---

connect(theSocket, (LPSOCKADDR)&serverInfo,sizeof(struct sockaddr));

---

I get this error

Code:

---

WSAECONNREFUSED
10061
Connection refused.
No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host—that is, one with no server application running.

---

Am I missing something? Do I have to set up another program for accepting this connect to myself??

How do i connect to myself to read incomming packets from a target port?

Thanks

You've only got one socket there - to do 2-way communication, you need 2 sockets - one is your server socket, which you bind() and recv() on, the other is your client socket, which you connect() with and send() on. Oh - and you need to actually wait for connections on your socket - check this tutorial: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ for a good intro to socket communications and the process. It's more Linux/Unix based, but since most of the calls work in Windows, and you already seem to have the Windows-specific initialization/cleanup code down, you can probably figure it out pretty easily from there.

with TCP doesn't the server need to listen on the socket you bind and then accept the connect making a data socket for the connection?

Syneris: exactly - that's why I pointed him to Beej's tutorial. It's one of the better ones out there about explaining the whole TCP client/server process from a socket-level view that I've ever seen.

You were editing the addition information as I posted ;) Good link too

Wow thats a very very very very good tutorial... Thanks a lot! I found it hard to find one as good as that so i just was using msdn reference.

thanks
