WSA and Threading In Windows
« on: January 26, 2015, 01:51:37 PM »
So in my previous posts I mentioned a expo for which I will be entering.

Quick Recap :p
Basically it's just a server and client written in nasm using the WSA , the clients should monitor a few things on their computers
( eg if the user is present  , running processes etc etc ) . I have to finish this before June...Julyish? I doubt it'll be that hard to finish by then but I am in my matric year so I'm kind of piled up with work right now.

I was wondering if I'm on the right track thusfar.

Code: [Select]
BITS 32
extern _WSAStartup
extern _socket
extern _bind
extern _listen
extern _HeapReAlloc
extern _GetProcessHeap
extern _HeapAlloc
extern _HeapFree
extern _accept
extern _recv
extern _ExitProcess
extern __cprintf
extern _CreateThread
extern _bind
extern _ExitWindowsEx
extern _WSAGetLastError
extern __getch
extern _htons
global main
section .bss
WSADATA resb 400 ;Checked in C
sockaddr_inA resb 16 ;Checked in C
rcvBuffer resb 200
clientSockets resd 10
section .data
;ERRORS
errFormat db "ERRORCODE : %d",0ah,0
;ERRORS END
;DWORD
counterGeneral dd 0
counterSocket dd 0
ProcessHeap dd 0
Counter dd 0
socketServer dd 0
;DWORD END
;BYTES
intFormat db "%d",0ah,0
strFormat db "%s",0
shutdownCMD db "Shutdown",0ah,0
strShuttingDown db "Shutting Down",0
strClientFormat db "Client (%d) Connected!",0ah,0
;BYTES END

You'll notice I don't call any of the heap functions because I don't intend on using them for the prototype. I suppose I'll be rewriting this program quite a few times before submitting it . My competition is a guy from my class who will be writing a green screen program in python. I'm not sure but I think he's capable of pulling it off ( he has won quite a few awards for IT the last few years ). 

Once again this is just a  prototype , I only want to know if I'm doing the basic things correctly ^^

Also I'd like to add that I'm binding the socket to all available ip addresses . At first I was able to connect to the server from my phone via a netcat application for android ( SimpleNetcat ) but now I can't do that anymore. However when using netcat on my computer to connect to the ipv4 address of my computer ( not localhost ) it works just fine. Any possible reason for why it suddenly stopped working ? ^^ I should probably try to disable my antivirus.

Also if I send more than one string ( depending on what I send ) it seems like something is going wrong with the __cprintf function ( obviously it's my mistake though ) . Am I clearing the string correctly after receiving?

Ill just answer this myself.

I couldnt connect to the server because i forgot my ip wasnt assigned statically. The error with the string was trivial. The SimpleCat application sends EVERY recorded character including the new line char. I was in effect comparing String\0 to String\n\0

Im still battling on whether to finish this in asm or C though :/
