IamLucif3r / Chat-On

A Secured TCP Chat Room built with Python.

Chat-On 🐍 : A Python-Based Chat Room

This is an advanced Python-based Secure Chat room. The project is entirely based on the Socket Progamming; done using Python. A server is set to the listening mode, with a specific IP Address and Port number (that can be edited in the script) and clients are made to connect to the server, after which they are promopted to enter a nickname. The messages are then broadcasted to all the clients present.

👉 Introduction

👉 Sockets

Sockets and the socket API are used to send messages across a network. They provide a form of inter-process communication (IPC). The network can be a logical, local network to the computer, or one that’s physically connected to an external network, with its own connections to other networks. The obvious example is the Internet, which you connect to via your ISP.

👉 Usage

1. We will have to start our Server first.

Python Server.py

Note: Before running the server, make sure to edit the IP address and Port number. By default it is running on Localhost:5555

2. Run the Client file, to start the conversation.

Python Client.py

3. Now Enter a nickname and start your chatting.

v1.2 Updates

• The version 1.2 supports the Admin Controls. The admin has certain controls over the chat room.

  • Kick Feature : Admin can kick anyone from the Chat Room.
