Remote Command Exec Udp Server

/**

 * @author [NVombat](https://github.com/NVombat)
 * @brief Server-side implementation of [Remote Command
 * Execution Using
 * UDP](https://www.imperva.com/learn/ddos/udp-user-datagram-protocol/)
 * @see remote_command_exec_udp_server.c
 *
 * @details
 * The algorithm is based on the simple UDP client and server model. It
 * runs an infinite loop which takes user input and sends it to the server
 * for execution. The server receives the commands and executes them
 * until the user exits the loop. In this way, Remote Command Execution
 * using UDP is shown using the server-client model & socket programming
