# sickserv

This is a Python 3.6+ client-server wrapper & framework that allows you to rapidly build simple, fast, encrypted, asynchronous, multi-client application communication.

Highlights:
* Client/server wrapper around [Sanic](https://github.com/huge-success/sanic), [requests](https://github.com/psf/requests), and [websocket-client](https://github.com/websocket-client/websocket-client).
* Provides a framework for multi-client communication, based around unique system identifiers.
* Supports simplistically sending and receiving RC4 encrypted JSON payloads.
* Supports sending either string or byte values using base64 encoding.
* Provides a client and server for either websocket or non-websocket applications.
* Natively asynchronous, provided by Sanic.
* Client/server support for RC4 rekey on-the-fly.

## Install

Do it up:
```
$ pip install sickserv --user
```

## Communication Flow

Initial payloads are always JSON (with a defined endpoint), which are then base64 encoded, RC4 encrypted, and then sent over HTTP or HTTPS (on any port desired).

```
Send data:
JSON -> base64 encode values -> RC4 encrypt -> send (HTTPS)

Recv data:
recv (HTTPS) -> RC4 decrypt -> base64 decode values -> JSON
```

## Simple Example (non-WebSocket)

See the `examples/` folder for more, including: a MUD, chat server, and reverse shell.

Server:
```python
from sickserv import server, set_init_key
from sickserv.server import response

set_init_key('yellow-submarine')

@server.app.route('/test/', methods=['POST',])
async def test(request, sysid):
payload = server.unprocess_payload(sysid, request.body)
print(payload)
return_payload = server.process_payload(sysid, {'Look Mom': 'No Hands!'})
return response.text(return_payload)

server.run(port=1337)
```

Client:
```python
from sickserv import SickServClient, set_init_key

set_init_key('yellow-submarine')
ssc = SickServClient('127.0.0.1', port=1337)
payload = {
'endpoint': 'test',
'example': 'This is some example test data'
}
response = ssc.send(payload)
print(response)
```

Server side:
```
$ python server.py

```

Client side:
```
$ python test_client.py
{'Look Mom': 'No Hands!'}
```

## Rekey

An initial, matching RC4 key must be supplied. However, the session can easily be rekeyed on the fly.

A rekey is done from the client-end, like so:

```python
ssc.rekey() # rekey with a random 16 character length key
ssc.rekey(length=32) # rekey with a random 32 character length key
ssc.rekey(key='purple-submarine') # rekey with a custom defined key
```
