GIAC Python Coder (GPYC) — Question 20

A connection between a python raw socket server and a netcat client is being made over port 1100 on the same computer. The last command in the Python terminal is:
>>> connection,remoteip=pyserver.accept()
In the netcat terminal the following 2 lines were typed:
# nc 127.0.0.1 1100 This is a test
What needs to be typed in the python terminal to display the input from the netcat session?

Answer options

• A. Nothing, as the connection is complete
• B. connection.recv(1024)
• C. print(remoteip)
• D. Nothing, port 1100 is too low to bind the python server to

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because port 1100 is not too low for binding, which means the server can accept connections on this port. Option A is incorrect because the connection is not complete; data needs to be received. Options B and C do not address the question as they do not relate to the binding issue.
