C# - Implement Secure Web Socket

I would like to ask if you know how to implement Secure Web Socket with .Net.
I've implemented ws:// and everything ok but I've no idea how to switch to wss://.
Thanks in advance.

You could try Fleck
Fleck is a WebSocket server implementation in C#
From their examples:
var server = new WebSocketServer("wss://0.0.0.0:8431");
server.Certificate = new X509Certificate2("MyCert.pfx");
server.Start(socket =>
{
//...use as normal
});

This question is very old but here's how i got my C# server accept an SSL connection from the client (js code running on Chrome / Firefox).
Assuming you already have a working and valid certificate (in my case the same certificate working to serve SSL on my Apache webserver), signed by a trusted CA (in my case, letsencrypt.org, which let you request a certificate for free), this is an excerpt from working code:
public static X509Certificate2 serverCertificate = null;
public Server(string ip_addr, int port)
{
serverCertificate = GetCertificateFromStore("CN=mydomain.com");
string resultsTrue = serverCertificate.ToString(true); // Debugging purposes
bool hasPrivateKey = serverCertificate.HasPrivateKey; // Debugging purposes (MUST return true)
Console.WriteLine("Certificate validation results: " + resultsTrue);
Console.WriteLine("Has private key? " + hasPrivateKey);
server = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse(ip_addr), port);
server.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Server has started on ip: " + ip_addr + ":"+port + " - Waiting for a connection...", Environment.NewLine);
}
public class ClientHandler
{
TcpClient client { get; set; }
//NetworkStream stream { get; set; } // Old plain non-secure tcp stream
SslStream stream { get; set; } // New secure tcp stream
....
public ClientHandler(TcpClient client, string room_id)
{
....
stream = new SslStream(client.GetStream(), false);
try
{
stream.AuthenticateAsServer(Server.serverCertificate, clientCertificateRequired: false, checkCertificateRevocation: false);
// Set timeouts for the read and write to 5 seconds.
stream.ReadTimeout = 5000;
stream.WriteTimeout = 5000;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error during SSL authentication with the client:" + ex);
return;
}
}
}
The tricky part is that class X509Certificate2 needs to retrieve the certificate not from file but from your local keystore.
Also you need both the certificate file AND your private key for SSL to work.
I'm developing on Linux and Mono.Net but it should not change much on other platforms. The tools i needed were: openssl and certmgr (mono certificate manager).
To create the .pfx file containing the cert & the private key:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in yourcertfile.cer -inkey yourprivatekeyfile.pem -out finalfile.pfx
To add the file obtained to my local store:
certmgr -add -c -m Trust finalfile.pfx
Finally, you can edit your client side connection code to point to the same domain you're hosting your server (which should be the same domain reported in your certificate).
This:
var mySocket = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:5050");
Becomes:
var mySocket = new WebSocket("wss://yourdomain.com:5050");
Keep in mind that, once you've implemented SSL, you'll have to revise the whole networking code, since you're adding overhead to your TCP stream and you must take it into account when parsing the bytes and the bits to find and decode the headers.
This is where i'm stuck myself but beside that, SSL connection works great :)

If you use WebSocketSharp-NonPreRelease Package to develop the websocket you can simply add your certificate using below code
var wssv = new WebSocketServer (5963, true);
wssv.SslConfiguration.ServerCertificate =
new X509Certificate2 ("/path/to/cert.pfx", "password for cert.pfx");

C# - Communicate with WinUSB device with LIBUSB

I am trying to communicate with a Nokia Lumia phone(RM-917), over USB using LIBUSING and C#. LIBUSB is able to see the device's information(pid,vid,etc). However, I am not able to successfully write to ANY endpoint, even sending the exact command as the Windows Device Recovery Tool.
According to WinUSB, the write endpoint is EP07, however, this endpoint just times out. I have tried every other endpoint, and all of these fail.
`
public void initDevice()
{
if(this.lumiaDevice == null)
{
throw new Exception("LumiaPhoneManager does not have a selected device");
}
UsbDeviceFinder MyUsbFinder = new UsbDeviceFinder(0x0421, 0x0661);
MyUsbDevice = UsbDevice.OpenUsbDevice(MyUsbFinder);
IUsbDevice wholeUsbDevice = MyUsbDevice as IUsbDevice;
if (!ReferenceEquals(wholeUsbDevice, null))
{
// This is a "whole" USB device. Before it can be used,
// the desired configuration and interface must be selected.
// Select config #1
wholeUsbDevice.SetConfiguration(1);
// Claim interface #0.
wholeUsbDevice.ClaimInterface(1);
}
if (this.writer == null)
{
writer = MyUsbDevice.OpenEndpointWriter(WriteEndpointID.Ep07);
}
}
public void readPCode()
{
currentID++;
var _x = new jsonPkt();
ErrorCode ec = ErrorCode.None;
int bytesWritten;
_x.id = this.currentID + 1;
_x.method = "ReadProductCode";
string value = #"{""jsonrpc"":""<JSONRPC>"",""id"":<ID>,""method"":""<METHOD>"",""params"":null}";
value = value.Replace("<JSONRPC>", "2.0");
value = value.Replace("<ID>", currentID.ToString());
value = value.Replace("<METHOD>", _x.method.ToString());
ec = writer.Write(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(value), 8000, out bytesWritten);
currentID++;
if (ec != ErrorCode.None) throw new Exception(UsbDevice.LastErrorString);
byte[] readBuffer = new byte[1024];
while (ec == ErrorCode.None)
{
int bytesRead;
// If the device hasn't sent data in the last 100 milliseconds,
// a timeout error (ec = IoTimedOut) will occur.
ec = reader.Read(readBuffer, 100, out bytesRead);
// if (bytesRead == 0) throw new Exception("No more bytes!");
// Write that output to the console.
this.rtb.Text += Encoding.Default.GetString(readBuffer, 0, bytesRead).ToString() + "\n";
}
}

Found the solution
Debugged the OEM software and found the program was using a different path to the USB device. After that I was getting access denied errors, which was solved by moving the project to a different drive. For reasons unknown, when the program runs on c drive, the CreateFile function fails with access denied

Its possible that to activate write, you need to send some class specific control request first. You mentioned that windows device recovery tool is able to write.
You can install USB packet sniffer software in your windows PC and then use the device manager to write some data to the device. Packet sniffer tool will be able to capture all the packets sent to the device.
This way you can see the exact device requests which are required to enable write operation.
Analyzer software - http://www.usblyzer.com/
Please try this way to resolve your problem.
PS- I am assuming you do not have a hardware USB packet analyzer like Lecroy advisor or Beagle. Software packet sniffer should be fine since the host is a PC.

UWP/C# - Issue with AQS and USB Devices

I have an issue with a UWP app that I am trying to write. I am connecting to a custom embedded USB Bulk device that I have programmed (it is actually an out of the box example from Cypress Semiconductor). I am using the WinUSB.sys driver using the embedded MS OS string in the device to allow the device to be used with out having to write a custom INF file to call the WinUSB.sys driver.
In my code, I am using the UsbDevice.GetDeviceSelector method to return an AQS that can then be passed into DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync to begin communicating with the device in my app. I have confirmed that the device shows up in the device manager without any issues, and I have checked in the registry to ensure that it has an Interface GUID. I have a screenshot from USBViewer to show the configuration of the device. This method for finding and connecting with USB devices is from this MSDN example found here.
When I use the UsbDevice.GetDeviceSelector method, it returns a GUID that is not associated with this device. The GUID that it returns is actually associated with Lumia Phones (DEE824EF-729B-4A0E-9C14-B7117D33A817). Because of this, it does not find my device connected to the system.
To troubleshoot, I have both called the DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync with out any arguments to see if my device is listed, and it does find the device (amongst over 1000 other devices that have been connected ever to my machine). I then wrote a custom AQS string without the help of the GetDeviceSelector method, starting with just the GUID. Doing this returned 27 devices, but when I tried to add the VID and PID to this AQS string, nothing returned.
I have also made sure that the device that I want to use is listed in the app manifest by its appropriate VID and PID as this is required for a device with a Custom Class of 0xFF. I have used the Custom USB UWP device example and it can find the device, though it uses a completely different method with a device picker, which I will go to if needed, but this is not my desire as it makes that part of the app not as clean of a solution.
I have posted this question over in the MSDN forums here with more information, but I have not gotten a lot of engagement there. Any help would be appreciated. I know that I must be missing something simple.

private async void button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//UInt32 vid = 0x04B4;
//UInt32 pid = 0x00F0;
UInt32 vid = uint.Parse(textBox1.Text, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
UInt32 pid = UInt32.Parse(textBox2.Text, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
Guid winusbInterfaceGuid = new Guid("a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed");
//string aqs = UsbDevice.GetDeviceSelector(vid, pid);
string aqs = UsbDevice.GetDeviceSelector(winusbInterfaceGuid);
var myDevices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(aqs, null);
//var myDevices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync();
var myDevicesCount = myDevices.Count;
if (myDevicesCount >= 1)
{
textBlock2.Text = "Device Found";
} else
{
textBlock2.Text = "Searching";
await Task.Delay(1000);
textBlock2.Text = "looking for device";
}
}

just dropped you a mail asking about progress (I think, had to guess your mail address), but now it seems I found a solution myself. Please see my answer on UWP app cannot find/connect to USB device
In short, you have to create an inf for installing the winusb driver. I have no clue why, but that did the trick for me (and someone else, see Cannot create UsbDevice from DeviceInformation.Id)

The Guid DEE824EF-729B-4A0E-9C14-B7117D33A817 is actually the standard WinUSB Guid. I don't think it has anything to do with Lumia Phones. I don't know why it is not documented anywhere. I think that the Guid a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed you specified is actually a red herring. I mistakenly used that as well, but it just led me down the garden path. It shows up USB interfaces, but I can't connect to them.
You might want to try this class https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Device.Net/blob/master/src/Usb.Net.UWP/UWPUsbDevice.cs .
Here is how it gets the device:
public async Task<IEnumerable<DeviceDefinition>> GetConnectedDeviceDefinitions(uint? vendorId, uint? productId)
{
var aqsFilter = "System.Devices.InterfaceClassGuid:=\"{DEE824EF-729B-4A0E-9C14-B7117D33A817}\" AND System.Devices.InterfaceEnabled:=System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#True AND " + $" System.DeviceInterface.WinUsb.UsbVendorId:={vendorId.Value} AND System.DeviceInterface.WinUsb.UsbProductId:={productId.Value}";
var deviceInformationCollection = await wde.DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(aqsFilter).AsTask();
//TODO: return the vid/pid if we can get it from the properties. Also read/write buffer size
var deviceIds = deviceInformationCollection.Select(d => new DeviceDefinition { DeviceId = d.Id, DeviceType = DeviceType.Usb }).ToList();
return deviceIds;
}
This sample connects to a device and I think you'll be able to connect to the device in the same way:
private static async Task InitializeTrezor()
{
//Register the factory for creating Usb devices. This only needs to be done once.
UWPUsbDeviceFactory.Register();
//Register the factory for creating Usb devices. This only needs to be done once.
UWPHidDeviceFactory.Register();
//Note: other custom device types could be added here
//Define the types of devices to search for. This particular device can be connected to via USB, or Hid
var deviceDefinitions = new List<DeviceDefinition>
{
new DeviceDefinition{ DeviceType= DeviceType.Hid, VendorId= 0x534C, ProductId=0x0001, Label="Trezor One Firmware 1.6.x" },
new DeviceDefinition{ DeviceType= DeviceType.Usb, VendorId= 0x1209, ProductId=0x53C1, ReadBufferSize=64, WriteBufferSize=64, Label="Trezor One Firmware 1.7.x" },
new DeviceDefinition{ DeviceType= DeviceType.Usb, VendorId= 0x1209, ProductId=0x53C0, ReadBufferSize=64, WriteBufferSize=64, Label="Model T" }
};
//Get the first available device and connect to it
var devices = await DeviceManager.Current.GetDevices(deviceDefinitions);
var trezorDevice = devices.FirstOrDefault();
await trezorDevice.InitializeAsync();
//Create a buffer with 3 bytes (initialize)
var buffer = new byte[64];
buffer[0] = 0x3f;
buffer[1] = 0x23;
buffer[2] = 0x23;
//Write the data to the device
await trezorDevice.WriteAsync(buffer);
//Read the response
var readBuffer = await trezorDevice.ReadAsync();
}
If you connect to the device in this way, you'll get Windows classic, and Android support for free with Device.Net (https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Device.Net)

With Device.net's DeviceManager.Current.GetDevices(deviceDefinitions) using .NET 5 I can't find any device connected to my win10, which can be easily selected by ManagementObjectSearcher:
public List<ManagementBaseObject> GetLogicalDevices()
{
List<ManagementBaseObject> devices = new List<ManagementBaseObject>();
ManagementObjectCollection collection;
ManagementObjectSearcher seacher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM CIM_LogicalDevice");
collection = seacher.Get();
foreach (var device in collection)
{
devices.Add(device);
}
return devices;
}

Error 10049 while connecting bluetooth device with 32feet

I'm trying to establish a connection with a custom bluetooth device without using COM ports. However, I'm getting an error: [10049] "The requested address is not valid in its context". What am I doing wrong?
static Guid serviceClass= new Guid("4d36e978-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318"); //GUID of device class
static BluetoothAddress addr = BluetoothAddress.Parse("001210160177"); //from device
BluetoothDeviceInfo device = new BluetoothDeviceInfo(addr);
device.SetServiceState(serviceClass, true);
Console.WriteLine(BluetoothSecurity.PairRequest(device.DeviceAddress, "0000")); //pairing my device - writes True
BluetoothEndPoint ep = new BluetoothEndPoint(addr, serviceClass);
BluetoothClient conn = new BluetoothClient(ep); //10049 error
conn.Connect(ep);
Console.WriteLine(conn.GetStream());

Its all covered in the project's documentation. :-)
In short, remove that SetServiceState line it is unnecessary/bad. Doing the pairing each time is also unnecessary and a bit slow but probably not worth changing if its working well.
Docs:
1) http://32feet.codeplex.com/documentation
"See section General Bluetooth Data Connections below. The BluetoothClient provides the Stream to read and write on -- there is no need to use virtual COM ports"
2) http://32feet.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=General%20Bluetooth%20Data%20Connections
BluetoothAddress addr
= BluetoothAddress.Parse("001122334455");
Guid serviceClass;
serviceClass = BluetoothService.SerialPort;
// - or - etc
// serviceClass = MyConsts.MyServiceUuid
//
var ep = new BluetoothEndPoint(addr, serviceClass);
var cli = new BluetoothClient();
cli.Connect(ep);
Stream peerStream = cli.GetStream();
peerStream.Write/Read ...
3) http://32feet.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Errors
10049 "The requested address is not valid in its context."
No Service with given Service Class Id is running on the remote device
i.e. Wrong Service Class Id.

Here's how it finally rolls.
device.SetServiceState(serviceClass, true); //do it before pairing
...
BluetoothClient conn = new BluetoothClient();
conn.Connect(ep);
Also, my mistake here:
static Guid serviceClass = new Guid("4d36e978-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318");
//GUID of device class
Should be:
static Guid serviceClass = new Guid("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb");
//GUID of bluetooth service
For seeing the proper GUID, refer to your device's (not dongle's) settings/properties. You can see them from Windows.

Windows 8 app how to connect to Socket server

i have done a server using this example socketAsyncEventArgs
in visual studio 2010 and .net 4.0.
Now i'm trying to connect to it from a windows 8 app using StreamSocket but i'm getting a "Acces denied" message.
here is the Client code:
private StreamSocket streamSocket;
public string Server = "192.168.0.101";
public int Port = 9900;
public async void Connect()
{
streamSocket = new StreamSocket();
Connect();
try
{
await streamSocket.ConnectAsync(
new Windows.Networking.HostName(Server),
Port.ToString()); // getting Acces Denied here
DataReader reader = new DataReader(streamSocket.InputStream);
reader.InputStreamOptions = InputStreamOptions.Partial;
while (true)
{
var bytesAvailable = await reader.LoadAsync(1000);
var byteArray = new byte[bytesAvailable];
reader.ReadBytes(byteArray);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox(e.StackTrace);
}
}
How to fix the problem? Is there another way to send and receive messages using this server?

You are probably also seeing the following as part of your error message:
WinRT information: A network capability is required to access this network resource
This is because you need to add a capability to your application that allows you to access local networks. Double click on the Package.appxmanifest file in your project. Click on the Capabilities tab. Add the Private Networks (Client & Server) capability to your project.
