proxychains-ng 4.13 releases: fix bugs
proxychains-ng (new generation) – a preloader which hooks calls to sockets in dynamically linked programs and redirects it through one or more socks/http proxies. continuation of the unmaintained proxychains project.
ProxyChains is a UNIX program, that hooks network-related libc functions in DYNAMICALLY LINKED programs via a preloaded DLL (dlsym(), LD_PRELOAD) and redirects the connections through SOCKS4a/5 or HTTP proxies. It supports TCP only (no UDP/ICMP etc).
The way it works is basically a HACK; so it is possible that it doesn’t work with your program, especially when it’s a script, or starts numerous processes like background daemons or uses dlopen() to load “modules” (bug in glibc dynlinker). It should work with simple compiled (C/C++) dynamically linked programs though.
If your program doesn’t work with proxychains, consider using an iptables based solution instead; this is much more robust.
Supported Platforms: Linux, BSD, Mac.
Changelog v4.13
- fix robustness of DNS lookup thread and a segfault
- fix socks5 user/pass auth on non-conforming servers
- fix memory leak
- add support for Solaris
Installation
git clone https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng.git
./configure –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc
make
[optional] sudo make install
[optional] sudo make install-config (installs proxychains.conf)
if you dont install, you can use proxychains from the build directory like this:
./proxychains4 -f src/proxychains.conf telnet google.com 80
Use
proxychains4
Usage: proxychains4 -q -f config_file program_name [arguments]
-q makes proxychains quiet – this overrides the config setting
-f allows one to manually specify a configfile to use
for example : proxychains telnet somehost.com
