Socket Programming in Python - Version 1.0 and 2.0

Welcome to Socket Programming in Python. This repository demonstrates client-server communication using TCP protocol, with both single-connection (Version 1.0) and multi-threaded concurrent connections (Version 2.0) implementations. The project supports both normal users for surveys and admin users for server monitoring.

🚀 Features

Version 1.0 (Single Connection)

• Admin Panel: Root user authentication to view survey data.
• Survey System: Clients can submit surveys.
• Single Connection: Only one client can connect to the server at a time.
• Real-Time Data Transfer: Logs and displays survey data in real-time for the admin.

Version 2.0 (Multiple Concurrent Connections)

• Admin Panel: Allows root users to log in and view the survey data as well as live and total visited connections.
• Multi-Threading: Supports multiple concurrent client connections.
• Survey System: Similar survey mechanism as Version 1.0 with enhanced functionality.
• Security: Admin credentials are handled more securely.

🛠 How to Run

Version 1.0 (Single Connection)

1. Start the server:

   python Version\ 1.0/server.py

2. Run the client to perform a survey:

   python Version\ 1.0/client.py

3. Admin can view the results by running the admin panel:

   python Version\ 1.0/admin.py

Version 2.0 (Multiple Concurrent Connections)

1. Start the server:

   python Version\ 2.0/server.py

2. Run multiple clients to perform surveys:

   python Version\ 2.0/client.py

3. Admin can log in and view the results using the admin panel:

   python Version\ 2.0/admin.py

📓 TCP Socket Programming Concepts

Client-Server Model

Both versions use a client-server architecture. In Version 1.0, only one client can connect to the server at a time, whereas Version 2.0 supports multiple clients simultaneously using threads. Admin authentication allows the server admin to view and manage survey data.
