proxychains41

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. For instance:

your_host <-->socks5 <--> http <--> socks4 <--> http <--> target_host

•

Different chaining options are supported. For instance:

•

take random proxy from the list

•

chain proxies in exact order

•

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
