Remote port forward with core modules only

This is one thing that is very well solved by Perlbal in a much more elegant way. But I had a pretty messed up environment to play with, so I decided to reimplement it using core modules only, in this case IO::Socket::INET, IO::Select and IO::Handle.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my ($listen_host, $listen_port, $connect_host, $connect_port) = @ARGV; die 'Missing parameters' unless $listen_host && $listen_port && $connect_host && $connect_port; use IO::Handle; use IO::Select; use IO::Socket::INET; my %connections; my %reverse_in; my %reverse_ou; my $conn_id = 0; my $main_connection = IO::Socket::INET->new ( Listen => 100, LocalHost => $listen_host, LocalPort => $listen_port, Blocking => 0 ) or die $!; my $select_r = IO::Select->new($main_connection); my $select_w = IO::Select->new; while (1) { my ($read, $write) = IO::Select->select($select_r, $select_w, undef +, 100) or warn "error in select: ".$!; foreach my $conn (@{$read}) { if ($conn == $main_connection) { accept_new_connection($conn); } else { # this is a regular connection read_data($conn); } } foreach my $conn (@{$write}) { write_data($conn); } } sub accept_new_connection { my $conn = shift; my $incoming = $conn->accept; my $outgoing = IO::Socket::INET->new ( PeerHost => $connect_host, PeerPort => $connect_port, Blocking => 0 ); $outgoing->blocking(0); $incoming->blocking(0); my $id = $conn_id++; $connections{$id} = { incoming => $incoming, outgoing => $outgoing, in_bf => '', ou_bf => '', id => $id }; $reverse_in{$incoming} = $id; $reverse_ou{$outgoing} = $id; # now we add the $incoming and $outgoing as read, and only # modify it if some data comes in. $select_r->add($incoming); $select_r->add($outgoing); } sub read_data { use bytes; my $conn = shift; my ($type, $id); if (exists $reverse_in{$conn}) { $type = 'in'; $id = $reverse_in{$conn}; } elsif (exists $reverse_ou{$conn}) { $type = 'ou'; $id = $reverse_ou{$conn}; } my $data = $connections{$id}; if (!$conn->connected) { eval { remove_connection($data); }; return; } my $buf; my $read = sysread $conn, $buf, 4096; if (!$read) { remove_connection($data); return; } $data->{$type.'_bf'} .= $buf; if ($type eq 'in') { $select_w->add($data->{outgoing}); } else { $select_w->add($data->{incoming}); } } sub write_data { use bytes; my $conn = shift; my ($type, $id); if (exists $reverse_in{$conn}) { $type = 'ou'; $id = $reverse_in{$conn}; } elsif (exists $reverse_ou{$conn}) { $type = 'in'; $id = $reverse_ou{$conn}; } my $data = $connections{$id}; if (!$conn->connected) { eval { remove_connection($data); }; return; } my $buf = $data->{$type.'_bf'}; my $wrote = syswrite $conn, $buf, length($buf); substr($data->{$type.'_bf'}, 0, $wrote, ''); $select_w->remove($conn) unless $data->{$type.'_bf'}; } sub remove_connection { my $data = shift; $select_r->remove($data->{incoming}, $data->{outgoing}); $select_w->remove($data->{incoming}, $data->{outgoing}); delete $reverse_in{$data->{incoming}}; delete $reverse_ou{$data->{outgoing}}; $data->{incoming}->close; $data->{outgoing}->close; delete $connections{$data->{id}}; }

    Heh, there's code very similar to this (but written in Perl 4 and a lot shorter) as part of the State's evidence in my criminal trial. Larry Wall commented that it was Perl, but not very good Perl. {sigh}

      is there a link to that specific code? it would be cool to have a CUFP titled "Perl code for getting arrested" ;) (yeah, bad joke, I know)

        This text file references programs named 'Gate' and 'Door': State's Exhibits 16,19 and Defendant's Exhibits 151,152,153,154. Not sure if they're available online anywhere though...

      I was wondering, did it ever cross your mind that you were a scapegoat, in a conspiracy between Intel and Microsoft, to discourage Perl and taint the Perl crowd as hackers and pirates? Or that you may have been setup?

        /me thinks it would be fun to be a pirate!

        Maybe not as fun as a ninja, but still fun.

        And you didn't even know bears could type.
