net-cat

Objectives

This project consists on recreating the NetCat in a Server-Client Architecture that can run in a server mode on a specified port listening for incoming connections, and it can be used in client mode, trying to connect to a specified port and transmitting information to the server.

  • NetCat, nc system command, is a command-line utility that reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP. It is used for anything involving TCP, UDP, or UNIX-domain sockets, it is able to open TCP connections, send UDP packages, listen on arbitrary TCP and UDP ports and many more.

  • To see more information about NetCat inspect the manual man nc.

Your project must work in a similar way that the original NetCat works, in other words, you must create a group chat. The project must have the following features :

  • TCP connection between server and multiple clients (relation of 1 to many).
  • A name requirement to the client.
  • Control connections quantity.
  • Clients must be able to send messages to the chat.
  • Do not broadcast EMPTY messages from a client.
  • Messages sent, must be identified by the time that was sent and the user name of who sent the message, example : [2020-01-20 15:48:41][client.name]:[client.message]
  • If a Client joins the chat, all the previous messages sent to the chat must be uploaded to the new Client.
  • If a Client connects to the server, the rest of the Clients must be informed by the server that the Client joined the group.
  • If a Client exits the chat, the rest of the Clients must be informed by the server that the Client left.
  • All Clients must receive the messages sent by other Clients.
  • If a Client leaves the chat, the rest of the Clients must not disconnect.
  • If there is no port specified, then set as default the port 8989. Otherwise, program must respond with usage message: [USAGE]: ./TCPChat $port

Instructions

  • Your project must be written in Go

  • Start TCP server, listen and accept connections

  • Your project must have Go-routines

  • Your project must have channels or Mutexes

  • Maximum 10 connections

  • The code must respect the good practices

  • It is recommended to have test files for unit testing both the server connection and the client.

  • You have to be able to handle the errors from server side and client side

Allowed Packages

  • io
  • log
  • os
  • fmt
  • net
  • sync
  • time
  • bufio
  • errors
  • strings
  • reflect

Usage

$ go run .
Listening on the port :8989
$ go run . 2525
Listening on the port :2525
$ go run . 2525 localhost
[USAGE]: ./TCPChat $port
$
  • You should answer the client with a linux logo and ask for their name, when connection is received
$ nc $IP $port
