This script allows you to open a socket connection on port 80 on a unix machine. It requires elevated privileges to run.

import socket

server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

server_socket.bind(('localhost', 80))

server_socket.listen(1)

print('Server listening on port 80...')

client_socket, client_address = server_socket.accept()
print('Connection from:', client_address)

data = client_socket.recv(1024)
print('Received data:', data.decode('utf-8'))

response = 'Hello, client! This is the server.'
client_socket.send(response.encode('utf-8'))

# server_socket.close()
# client_socket.close()
