CMD Chat is a simple yet powerful LAN-based terminal chat application that allows two or more devices to chat with each other without the internet — using only a hotspot or local WiFi.

This project was born while experimenting with socket programming during the development of a backdoor tool, and the idea hit:
💡 "If we can control a system via sockets, why not chat through them too?"

• 📶 Offline communication using LAN or mobile hotspot (no internet required)
• ⚙️ Built using Python's raw socket module
• 💬 Chat directly through the terminal/command line
• 🔗 Supports 1-to-1 and (soon) multi-client messaging
• 📱 Future plan: Mobile app version coming soon
• 🌐 Long-range support possible using NodeMCU ESP8266 as repeater nodes

CMD Chat uses TCP sockets to establish a connection between devices on the same network (e.g., hotspot or WiFi). One system acts as the server, while the others connect as clients.

• Python 3.x
• Devices connected to the same LAN (WiFi or hotspot)
• Basic understanding of command line (for now)

git clone https://github.com/your-username/cmd-chat.git
cd cmd-chat

On one device:

python server.py

On the second device (same LAN):

python client.py

Enter the server IP when prompted (e.g., 192.168.43.1)

Chat via the terminal — all offline!

📱 Mobile app version (Android)

🌐 Mesh network support using ESP8266 (NodeMCU)

🧠 Encrypted communication

👥 Multi-client chatroom support
