I am trying to implement socks5 proxy server. Most things are clear according to the rfc but I'm stuck interpreting client port and writing my port number in bytes.
I made a function that tkes an int and returns 2 bytes. This function first converts number into binary then literally splits the bits as string then converts them back to byte.However this seems wrong because if the right most bits are 0 they are lost. Here is the function
func getBytesOfInt(i int) []byte {
binary := fmt.Sprintf("%b", i)
if i < 255 {
return []byte{byte(i)}
}
first := binary[:8]
last := binary[9:]
fmt.Println(binary, first, last)
i1, _ := strconv.ParseInt(first, 2, 64)
i2, _ := strconv.ParseInt(last, 2, 64)
return []byte{byte(i1), byte(i2)}
}
Can you please explain me how am i supposed to parse the number and get 2 bytes and most importantly how am i going to cast it back to an integer.
Currently if you give 1024 to this function it will return []byte{0x80, 0x0} which is 128 in decimals but as you see the right bits are lost theres only one 0 which is useless.
Your code has multiple problem. First :8 and 9: miss an element ([8]), see: https://play.golang.org/p/yuhh4ZeJFNL
And also, you should interept the second byte as lowbyte of the int and the first as highbyte, not literally cut the binary string. for example 4 should be interept as [0x0,0x4] instead of [0x4,0x0] which shoulld be 1024.
If you want to keep using strconv you should use:
n := len(binary)
first := binary[:n-8]
last := binary[n-8:]
However it is very unefficient.
I would suggest b[0],b[1] = i >> 8, i & 255, and i = b[0]<<8 + b[1] .
