NotLiteCode 1.0.2

NotLiteCode

A simple, hackable, remote code hosting platform.

What is?

NLC (Not Lite Code) is a simplified version of LiteCode by DragonHunter, which allows clients to execute code on a server as if they were calling a function that was being run locally(effectively RMI(Remote Method Invokation as opposed to non-OOP RPC(Remote Procedure Call)). NLC intends to implement what was done in LiteCode but simplified and distilled down into 1 class (for the main logic atleast).

How does this differ from traditional RPC/RMI?

Traditionally RPC/RMI implements a stub interface and is tightly coupled. NLC however can function without a stub interface, and is loosly coupled. NLC also implements end to end encryption (alongside an Eliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Handshake), DEFLATE compression, client isolation, and a stupidly simple implementation. Each client that connects to the NLC server also get's a unique instance of the SharedClass, making multi-client implementations a breeze.

Sample Implementation

Server Code:

SharedClass.cs

[NLCCall("Pinocchio")] // Our target function on the server
public string CombineTwoStringsAndReturn(string s1, string s2)
{
  return "Magical server says, s1 + s2 = " + s1 + s2;
}

Program.cs

server = new Server<SharedClass>();
server.Start();

Client Code:

Program.cs

private static string CombineTwoStringsAndReturn(string s1, string s2) =>
      client.RemoteCall<string>("Pinocchio", s1, s2);
      
client = new Client();

client.Connect("localhost", 1337);

Console.WriteLine(CombineTwoStringsAndReturn("I'm a ", "real boy!")); // Returns "Magical server says, s1 + s2 = I'm a real boy!"

Planned Features:

• All features currently satisfied

Notes

• NLC now supports .Net Core 2.1
• NLC performance is significantly increased on .Net Core vs. .Net 4.5.2 when encryption & compression are enabled
