NAME
ProxyChains - redirect connections through proxy servers
SYNTAX
proxychains <program>
DESCRIPTION
This program forces any tcp connection made by any given tcp client to
follow through proxy (or proxy chain). It is a kind of proxifier.
It acts like sockscap / premeo / eborder driver (intercepts TCP calls).
This version (2.0) supports SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT proxy
servers. Auth-types: socks - "user/pass" , http - "basic".
When to use it ?
1) When the only way to get "outside" from your LAN is through proxy
server.
2) When you are behind restrictive firewall which filters outgoing
connections to some ports.
3) When you want to use two (or more) proxies in chain:
like: your_host <--> proxy1 <--> proxy2 <--> target_host
4) When you want to "proxify" some programs with no proxy support
built-in (like telnet).
5) When you dont want to pay for eBorder / premeo socks driver :)
Some cool features:
* This program can mix different proxy types in the same chain
like: your_host <-->socks5 <--> http <--> socks4 <--> http <-->
target_host
* Different chaining options supported like: take random proxy
from the list. or : chain proxies in exact order or :
chain proxies in dynamic order (smart exclude dead proxies from chain)
*You can use it with any TCP client application, even network scanners.
yes, yes - you can make portscan via proxy (or chained proxies) for
example with Nmap scanner by fyodor (www.insecure.org/nmap).
proxychains nmap -sT -PO -p 80 -iR (find some webservers through
proxy)
NOTE: to run suid/sgid programs(like ssh) through proxychains you have
to be root
