I am working on a little project of mine and have built a UDP scraper that uses sockets to return data about a specific sha1
hash.
It works but is incredibly slow and wondered if any one knows how I could speed it up or improve the existing code.
The code is below;
// SCRAPE UDP
private function scrapeUDP($tracker, $hash) {
// GET TRACKER DETAILS
preg_match('%udp://([^:/]*)(?::([0-9]*))?(?:/)?%i', $tracker, $info);
// GENERATE TRANSACTION ID
$transID = mt_rand(0, 65535);
// PACKED TRANSACTION ID
$packedTransID = pack('N', $transID);
// ATTEMPT TO CREATE A SOCKET
if(!$socket = @fsockopen('udp://' . $info[1], $info[2], $errno, $errstr, 2)) {
return;
}
// SET STREAM TIMEOUT
stream_set_timeout($socket, 2);
// CONNECTION ID
$connID = "\x00\x00\x04\x17\x27\x10\x19\x80";
// BUILD CONNECTION REQUEST PACKET
$packet = $connID . pack('N', 0) . $packedTransID;
// SEND PACKET
fwrite($socket, $packet);
// CONNECTION RESPONSE
$response = fread($socket, 16);
// CHECK CONNECTION RESPONSE LENGTH
if(strlen($response) < 16) {
return;
}
// UNPACK CONNECTION RESPONSE
$returnData = unpack('Naction/NtransID', $response);
// CHECK CONNECTION RESPONSE DATA
if($returnData['action'] != 0 || $returnData['transID'] != $transID) {
return;
}
// GET CONNECTION ID
$connID = substr($response, 8, 8);
// BUILD SCRAPE PACKET
$packet = $connID . pack('N', 2) . $packedTransID . $hash;
// SEND SCRAPE PACKET
fwrite($socket, $packet);
// SCRAPE RESPONSE
$response = fread($socket, 20);
// CHECK SCRAPE RESPONSE LENGTH
if(strlen($response) < 20) {
return;
}
// UNPACK SCRAPE RESPONSE
$returnData = unpack('Naction/NtransID', $response);
// CHECK SCRAPE RESPONSE DATA
if($returnData['action'] != 2 || $returnData['transID'] != $transID) {
return;
}
// UNPACK SCRAPE INFORMATION
$returnData = unpack('Nseeders/Ncompleted/Nleechers', substr($response, 8, 12));
// RETURN TRACKER INFORMATION
return array('seeders' => $returnData['seeders'], 'leechers' => $returnData['leechers'],);
}
It is my first time I have ever created anything to do with sockets or UDP so forgive me if it is a mess!
Thanks...
