Censored LAN Messenger

Abstract

Teleconferencing or Chatting is a method of using technology to bring people and ideas “together” despite of the geographical barriers. The technology has been available for years but the acceptance was quite recent. There are so many messengers already developed and performing well for the Internet. In order to use messengers of this type a user always has to connect to the internet, which may cost money and time. If the users in organizations want to pass the messages or chat within the organization they can’t use Internet always as it may cause security problems. So they should use a messenger, which may send the messages with in the network and Internet. my project is entitled as Censored LAN Messenger. It is made up of two applications the client application, which runs on the user’s system and the server application, which runs on any system on the network. To start chatting client should get connected to server where they can practice two kinds of chatting, public one (message is broadcasted to all connected users) and private one (between any 2 users only). As a matter of fact there are several varieties of chatting. The simplest computer chatting is a method of sending, receiving, and storing typed messages with a network of users. This network could be WAN (Wide Area Network) or LAN(Local Area Network). Our chatting system is made up of two applications one runs on the server side (any computer on the network you choose it to be the server) while the other is delivered and executed on the client PC. Every time the client wants to chat he runs the client application, enter his user name and password and hits the connect button and start chatting. The system is many-to-many arrangement; every–one is able to “talk” to anyone else. Messages may be broadcasted to all receivers (recipients are automatically notified of incoming messages) or sent to special individuals (private chatting through server).
