TypeError In my code. (description)

Question

code:
import argparse, socket parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--target', '-t', help='target')

args = parser.parse_args()
if args.target:
udp = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,
socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
udp.send('message', (args.target, 80))
print "Packet sent"

Error:
File "send.py", line 8, in <module>

TypeError: an integer is required

Answer 1

Hmm, okay. well, I don't really know python. i do notice you are using a send command, while all I found online was a sendto command

Answer 2

well what is args.target? This is what I found online: sendto(MESSAGE, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))

Answer 3

args.target is the target defined via command line arguements.
its supoosed to work like this:

root@kali:~# python2 send.py -t IP

Answer 4

Ooh i am so stupidd i forgot haha i will try if that works

Answer 5

Yep that was the problem....
I got used to using the send command because i was using tcp a lot in the past and with tcp you need the send command
