Thread: Question Regarding CSocketPlus

Hiya everyone!

I just recently picked up vb6 to learn. Therefore, please bare with me if I sounded too noobish or something.

I have read several threads here on Reverse Connection. And have followed the advice by senior members on using CSocketMaster instead of winsock. Since it is much better.

Yes, I have indeed my first very basic reverse connecting rat. However, now I do have a problem with multiple sockets. Therefore, I will like to switch to CSockPlus which is a "plus version" of CSocketMaster.

This is how I code it when using CSockMaster:

Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set client = New CSocketMaster
    client.LocalPort = 2244
    client.Listen
End Sub

Right now when I code it using CSocketPlus:

Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set client = New CSocketMaster
    client.LocalPort = 2244
    client.Listen Index
End Sub

But I have no idea what is that, Index. I cant omit it. How am I supposed to make the application listen to the port on form load?

hey! i had the same prob when learning to use CsocketPlus but. I assure you, unless your coding a botnet that requires a HTTP GET attack with <200 Sockets then it is WAAAAY Better than Winsock! Ok to get to it this is how it should be:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Set client = New CsocketPlus
client.arrayadd 0
client.localport(0) = 2244
client.listen
End Sub

(I haven't used CSOCKETPLUS in a while but i'm PRETTY sure thats how its done. Hope i Helped!)

Thanks for your help, brandon!

I have figured out this socket index. It is like a number assigned for each socket. Like the index for an array.

However I am facing problems with CSocketPlus adding sockets into the socket array dynamically. Below is the flow of my logic (Not sure whether is it in the right direction, please advise.):

1) On Form Load
- Initialize a new socket array, CSocketPlus.
- Initialize global variable, intIndex, to 0.
- Initialize the first socket for listening.

Code:

Code:

Set client = New CSocketPlus
intIndex = 0
client.ArrayAdd (intIndex)
client.Bind intIndex, 9999, client.LocalIP(intIndex)
client.Listen (intIndex)

2) At Connection Request
- Close the requested socket.
- Initiate the connection with the socket.
- Increase the array socket count by 1.
- Add another socket into the array for listening.

Code:

Code:

client.CloseSck (Index)
client.Accept Index, requestID
intIndex = intIndex + 1
client.ArrayAdd (intIndex)
client.Bind intIndex, 2244, client.LocalIP(intIndex)
client.Listen (intIndex)

My problem occurs at the connection request. When my server is trying to connect back to the client, it will have an error: "Out of memory".

The only idea that I have in mind is that the array created is too small. Therefore unable to do an ArrayAdd.

I tried debugging and the IDE shows me that I am having an error while cleaning the array in the CSocketPlus class.

Below is the function that is having the error:

Code:

CleanSocketArray

Please, would someone kindly point me to the correct direction for me to continue learning? Thanks!
