ssh-socks5-proxy-connect(1)					   User Commands				       ssh-socks5-proxy-connect(1)

NAME

       ssh-socks5-proxy-connect - Secure Shell proxy for SOCKS5

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect
	    [-h socks5_proxy_host]
	    [-p socks5_proxy_port] connect_host connect_port

DESCRIPTION

       A proxy command for ssh(1) that uses SOCKS5 (RFC 1928). Typical use is where connections external to a network are only allowed via a socks
       gateway server.

       This proxy command does not provide any of the SOCKS5 authentication mechanisms defined in RFC 1928. Only anonymous connections are  possi-
       ble.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h socks5_proxy_host    Specifies the proxy web server through which to connect. Overrides the SOCKS5_SERVER environment variable.

       -p socks5_proxy_port    Specifies  the  port  on  which	the  proxy  web  server  runs. If not specified, port 80 is assumed. Overrides the
			       SOCKS5_PORT environment variable.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       socks5_proxy_host    The host name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the proxy.

       socks5_proxy_port    The numeric port number to connect to on socks5_proxy_host.

       connect_host	    The name of the remote host to which the socks gateway is to connect you.

       connect_port	    The numeric port number of the socks gateway to connect you to on connect_host.

EXAMPLES

       The recommended way to use a proxy connection command is to configure the ProxyCommand in ssh_config(4) (see  Example  1  and  Example  2).
       Example 3 shows how the proxy command can be specified on the command line when running ssh(1).

       Example 1 Setting the proxy from the environment

       The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect in ssh_config(4) when the proxy is set from the environment:

	 Host playtime.foo.com
	     ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect 
		 playtime.foo.com 22

       Example 2 Overriding proxy environment variables

       The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect in ssh_config(4) to override (or if not set) proxy environment variables:

	 Host playtime.foo.com
	     ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect -h socks-gw 
		 -p 1080 playtime.foo.com 22

       Example 3 Using the command line

       The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect from the ssh(1) command line:

	 example$ ssh -o'ProxyCommand=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect 
	     -h socks-gw -p 1080 playtime.foo.com 22' playtime.foo.com

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SOCKS5_SERVER	Takes socks5_proxy_host operand to specify the default proxy host.

       SOCKS5_PORT	Takes socks5_proxy_port  operand to specify the default proxy port.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion.

       1     An error occurred.

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

FILES

       proxychains looks for config file in following order:

	./proxychains.conf

	$(HOME)/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

	/etc/proxychains.conf

       see more in /etc/proxychains.conf

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
