Go through you entire client and server code and fix:

1) All those times where you do not handle correctly the results returned from system calls. This especially applies to the result returned by recv() which can be negative, (error), zero, (peer closed the connection), or some positive number less than, or equal to, the number of bytes requested - the ONLY WAY YOU CAN TELL FOR SURE HOW MANY BYTES HAVE BEEN READ IN TO THE BUFFER. Forget the number of bytes requested in the call and any memset/bzero before, and/or strlen/whatever after, it returns, they are all inadequate/misleading.

2) All those times where you assume that, just because you request the recv() of X bytes and recv() returns a positive number, that number will be X.

3) All those times that you call any str* C-style library calls on any buffers that are not 100% guaranteed to be NULL-terminated.
