A custom chatting room IRC like software with end-to-end encryption
I've developed a similar program a while ago and some things came to my mind while looking at your code: using Pickle to serialize messages could lead to code injection, but that's really based on how unsafely you handle serialized objects. In my application I had decided to use JSON to avoid those kind of vulnerabilities. Another thing is, it seems that you are using a fixed buffer size of 5kb to stream data... What if the message sent exceeds that size? A solution (also implemented in my app) could be prepending the message size to the actual message, so you can parse the first bytes to get the size and then stream as long as you need. I gave a really quick look at the code as I'm on mobile so correct me if I've missed something. Keep it up!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cosmoterm and pyChat you can also consider the following projects:
Reddit_ChatBot_Python - an event-driven chatbot library for reddit chatrooms
PIAR - Custom chatting platform with End-To-End encryption similar to regular IRC's. This project is open source designed to be anonymous and secure.
