<Net Creature>                                         2.0                                        proxychains(1)

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 don't 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

Examples

       To run this program the standard way type:

       proxychains telnet targethost.com

       in this example it will run telnet through proxy(or chained proxies) specified by proxychains.conf

Files

       proxychains looks for config file in following order:

        ./proxychains.conf

        $(HOME)/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

        /etc/proxychains.conf

       see more in /etc/proxychains.conf
