通过python 3中的网络套接字接收二进制数据

Question

In my networking class a lab i have is to make a client to receive 5 familiar 32-bit integers in big endian order and to intemperate them. I decided to use python and everything works well enough but i am receiving strange hex code.

\\x00\\x00\\x00o\\x00\\x00\\x00\\xe4\\x00\\x00\\x01\\xb3\\x00\\x00\\x01\\xdb\\x00\\x00\\x01\\xec

I can convert most of it easily but the x00o is really confusing me, 228 435 475 492 where the 4 after that I believe. Can you help me intemperate the server message?

import socket 
import sys
try:
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
except socket.error:
    print('Failed to create socket')
    sys.exit()
print('Socket Created')

host = 'localhost'
port = 5071

try:
    remote_ip = socket.gethostbyname(host)

except socket.gaierror:
    #could not resolve
    print('Hostname could not be resolved. Exiting')
    sys.exit()

s.connect((remote_ip , port))

print('Socket Connected to ' + host + ' on ip ' + remote_ip)

reply = s.recv(4096)

print(reply)

code.py :

import sys
import struct


def convert_data_to_ints(data, big_endian=True):
    int_count = len(data) // 4  # Assuming uint is 4 bytes long !!!
    fmt = ">" if big_endian else "<"
    fmt += "I" * int_count
    return struct.unpack(fmt, data[:int_count * 4])


def main():
    print("Python {} on {}\n".format(sys.version, sys.platform))
    data = b"\x00\x00\x00o\x00\x00\x00\xe4\x00\x00\x01\xb3\x00\x00\x01\xdb\x00\x00\x01\xec"
    ints_be = convert_data_to_ints(data)
    print("Big endian: {}".format(ints_be))
    ints_le = convert_data_to_ints(data, big_endian=False)
    print("Little endian: {}".format(ints_le))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Notes :

• convert_data_to_ints :
  • Uses [Python]: struct. unpack ( fmt, buffer ) to perform the conversion (might also check [SO]: Python struct.pack() behavior for more details on how integers are being represented in memory - and also in the server response)
  • Conversion is done to unsigned int ( "I" format). Check the " Format Strings " section in on the (1 ^st ) above page
  • Relies on the fact that int is 4 bytes long (I didn't want to hardcode the "IIIII" , wanted to make it more general). If the string length is not a multiple of 4 (an integral number of int s), the incomplete int at the end (at most 3 bytes) is discarded (of course, a nicer way to pad the string and also convert the "incomplete" data, but that's outside the question scope)
  • Returns a tuple containing the converted integers
• main :
  • Calls the above function on the data that you received from socket
  • As a bonus, it also converts it using little endian (but those values don't make much sense)
  • The data is a [Python]: Bytes Objects instance (I think socket.recv returns it in this form). If (I'm wrong and) it returns the data as a string, just use [Python]: str. encode ( encoding="utf-8", errors="strict" )
