This script is used to allow two sockets to communicate while relaying data through Google Drive.
Check out this blog post for more details.
- Install needed python modules (see below)
- Run "python2 ./google_socks.py --setup" and follow the instructions
- Create a Google API Project
- Create OAuth client ID credentials for the project
- Download the JSON for those credentials
- Move the credentials file to the google_socks directory and name it "client_secrets.json"
- Next, the setup script will give you a Google link and ask for a secret
- Follow the link, authorize the script to use the API, and receive the secret
- Paste the secret back into the setup script's prompt
- Copy the provided python code into the google_socks.py file below "# PASTE NEW CREDENTIALS HERE"
- Enable the Google Drive API
- All done!
- Read the help information here: "python ./google_socks.py -h"
pip2 install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 python-dateutil google-api-python-client
Usage: google_socks.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--setup Setup script with Drive App
-c CREDS Index of creds in credentials array to use (default: 0)
-d Delete files with names provided to -s and -r
-l Enable Socket Mode: Listener
-i IP Enable Socket Mode: Connect
-p PORT Port number for socket mode (default: 8000)
-s SEND Sending channel (default: 0)
-r RECV Receiving channel (default: 1)
-P POLL Poll every x seconds (default: 0)
-j JITTER Amount of randomness in polling (default: 1.0)
-v Enable verbose output
--debug Enable debug output
If you need to send data as fast as possible, set no polling (-P 0) or jitter (-j 0). If you get an error from going over the API rate limit, try raising your polling time little by little until you find a sweetspot. I found .2 seconds worked well.
