pixelnuke: Connection reset by peer

[emdete]

i see this error ("ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer") with a small py script wrote. i extracted the main part here:

#!/usr/bin/env python3    
from socket import socket, AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, MSG_DONTWAIT    
from random import randint                          
    
sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)    
sock.connect(("127.0.0.1", 1337))    
while True:    
    x, y = 512, 260                                                              
    r, g, b = randint(0,255), randint(0,255), randint(0,255)    
    for _ in range(10000):    
        sock.send(('PX %d %d %02x%02x%02x\n' % (x,y,r,g,b)).encode())    
        x += randint(0,2)-1    
        y += randint(0,2)-1

it runs fine for a while until it breaks with the error above. no clue who's to blame but it seems pixelnuke closed the connection.

Your x or y coordinate may eventually become negative. Pixelnuke will send an error message (that you do not see because your client does not read from the socket) and close the connection.
