ProxyChains - HTTP and SOCKS

this project, while technically fine, is unmaintained and has seen its latest update in the year 2006. use proxychains-ng instead (it's hosted here on sf.net as well : hxxp://sf.net/p/proxychains-ng ). the version here has some known bugs and other issues that prevent compilation out-of-the-box on modern linux systems, and doesnt work on MacOS at all. proxychains-ng also does dns automatically on the proxy side, so it is much faster, more secure and supports .onion url in case TOR is used.

I got this error while compiling: /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -g -O2 -c libproxychains.c mkdir .libs gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -g -O2 -Wp,-MD,.deps/libproxychains.pp -c libproxychains.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libproxychains.o libproxychains.c:291: error: conflicting types for 'getnameinfo' /usr/include/netdb.h:677: note: previous declaration of 'getnameinfo' was here make[3]: *** [libproxychains.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sena/documents/temp/proxychains-3.1/proxychains' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sena/documents/temp/proxychains-3.1/proxychains' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sena/documents/temp/proxychains-3.1' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 ... and i think i resolved it. Linux ... 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:00:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux in proxychains/libproxychains.c i changed the function to look like this and it compiled without problems. The same function is declared in /usr/include/netdb.h. Hope someone can use this info. Cheers //int getnameinfo (const struct sockaddr * sa, // socklen_t salen, char * host, // socklen_t hostlen, char * serv, // socklen_t servlen, unsigned int flags) // size_t hostlen, char * serv, // size_t servlen, int flags) int getnameinfo (__const struct sockaddr *__restrict __sa, socklen_t __salen, char *__restrict __host, socklen_t __hostlen, char *__restrict __serv, socklen_t __servlen, int __flags) { int ret = 0; if(!init_l) init_lib(); if(!proxychains_resolver) { ret = true_getnameinfo(__sa,__salen,__host,__hostlen, __serv,__servlen,__flags); } else { if(__hostlen) strncpy(__host, inet_ntoa(SOCKADDR_2(*__sa)),__hostlen); if(__servlen) snprintf(__serv, __servlen,"%d",ntohs(SOCKPORT(*__sa))); } PDEBUG("getnameinfo: %s %s\n", __host, __serv); return ret; } Basically just took the declaration from /usr/include/netdb.h and changed the variables in the function to match, like "__serv". Cheers

A terrific program. Had some troubles starting it, here's a minimal manual if anyone needs it: 1. Install (apt-get works) 2. Place proxychains.conf in some dir (example in /etc/proxychains.conf) 3. Start any software with "proxychains any.sh thing"

good job

Nice! Did exactly what I needed, e.g.: proxychains yum update
