Mastering Python for Networking and Security

Implementing the TCP serverIn this example, we are going to create a multithreaded TCP server.

The server socket opens a TCP socket on localhost:9999 and listens to requests in an infinite loop. When you receive a request from the client socket, it will return a message indicating that a connection has been made from another machine.

The while loop keeps the server program alive and does not allow the code to end. The server.listen(5) statement listens to the connection and waits for the client. This instruction tells the server to start listening with the maximum backlog of connections set to 5.

You can find the following code in the tcp_server.py file inside the tcp_client_server folder:

import socketimport threadingbind_ip = "localhost" ...
