I just want those same kind of results using python so I can make an exe ou= t of it. Hi Tom, Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I wrote a tcp syn scanner using raw sockets and another that uses scapy. You can take a look at http://www.arti-sec.com/article/spse-module-2-lesson-4-syn-scanner-python. You might take a look at scapy if you don't want to reinvent the wheel like I did. scapy is definitely worth a look if you want something powerfull and aren't interested in reinventing the wheel. Regarding your code/initial question, I think it may be that the server is resetting the connection when it receives the string 'Data' as opposed to something that looks like what it expects. --------------= Posted using GrabIt =---------------- ------= Binary Usenet downloading made easy =--------- -= Get GrabIt for free from http://www.shemes.com/ =- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
