Dear all,
I'm trying to convert
'00:08:9b:ce:f5:d4'
to
'\x00\x08\x9b\xce\xf5\xd4'
for use in magic packet construction for WakeOnLan like so:
wolsocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
wolsocket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
wolsocket.sendto('\xff'*6 + '\x00\x08\x9b\xce\xf5\xd4'*16,
(expectedlanbroadcast, 80))
This is what I came up whith, but I remain puzzled on how to preserver the
leading '\h' ... thanks for any hint
expectedservermac = '00:08:9b:ce:f5:d4'
hexcall = str.split(expectedservermac,":")
hexcall.insert(0,'')
hexcall = "\\x".join(hexcall).decode('string_escape')
Thanks for any pointers.
It looks like you're using Python 2, so:
>>> s = '00:08:9b:ce:f5:d4'
>>> "".join(chr(int(x, 16)) for x in s.split(":"))
'\x00\x08\x9b\xce\xf5\xd4'
