Answer 1

Swissrobin no indentation needed in your code.

Correct code after re inserting the space and removing indentation.

import socket

target_host = "www.google.com"
target_port = 8

# Create Socket-Object
client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# create client connection

client.connect((target_host,target_port))

# Einige Daten senden
client.send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\n\r\n")

# get some data
response = client.recv(4096)

print(response)

Answer 2

Remove all the spaces and insert them back . The invalid character is probably because you copied the code from somewhere which inserted some of it's native character that can't be understood by sololearn code playground.

Thank you for your help, Abhay it works now.

Answer 4

Abhay thanks for your answer. I actually work with visual studio code. I tried your solution but the spaces (tabs) are correct. Do you have another idea?

Abhay I currently have the same problem. But when I run your code, there is an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/peter/hacking/tcpclient.py", line 14, in <module>
client.send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\n\r\n")
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Can someone help?

I use to read a hacking guide from 2015. Maybe such Code, also as the following is written in Python 2?

This is the Code in the book:

Answer 6

Tech yes that is probably python2 . If you write "print something" In python 3 it gives an error.

About the error it clearly says it needs bytes like object but we are passing it a string instead.
