Hello hackers the objective for this article is to making your system anonymous by tunneling your traffic via proxychains and tor.
Also you need to keep this important thing in mind that if you are using a name server that is provided by you local isp you have potential threats of getting you geolocation leaked. So follow what i guide you though the rabbit hole !!!
How to make yourself Anonymous using Proxychain and Tor
What is Tor ?
The Onion Router, or Tor, is a free and open-source programme that facilitates anonymous communication by routing Internet traffic over a global, volunteer overlay network made up of over 7,000 relays.
What is Proxychains ?
Essentially serving as “middlemen” for incoming and outgoing network traffic.
ProxyChains is a network address translation tool that enhances privacy and anonymity in online communications by managing a chain of proxies that can be tailored to provide better security, privacy, and performance.
Proxychains Installation
To install proxchains on you local system type:
sudo apt install proxychains -y
To install tor service on your local system type:
sudo apt install tor -y
Configuring the configuration file
In order to manage you need to edit the configuration file so type:
sudo vim /etc/proxychain.conf
Different type of chains
So you can see and study what Dynamic And Static chains are
Dynamic Chain
With the help of the “dynamic chain,” we may route our traffic through each proxy on the list; if a proxy is unavailable, it will be skipped and immediately routed to the next one.
Static Chain
Strict chain: All proxies in the list will be used and chained in the assigned order
Random Chain
Random Chain: All proxies in the list are used randomly .
Whenever you use a sock proxy the network is realtively slower so you can edit the timeouts to chahge the chains.
Come down to the proxy list and here you can edit the proxy:
for instance to add a sock4,sock5 proxy type
sock4 127.0.0.1 9050
sock5 127.0.0.1 9050
What is Sock proxy ? Port 9050
Tor listens for client connections on port 127.0. 0.1:9050 by default; this port, also referred to as the “SocksPort,” enables client apps to connect to Tor and route their traffic through the Tor network.
One sort of proxy server that transfers downloaded data as though it were coming from a remote server is called a socks proxy.
Socks proxies differ from traditional HTTP or HTTPS proxies in that they do not require clients to change their socket connections or disconnect and reconnect for every HTTP request.
Now you need to enable the Tor service
sudo systemctl enable tor.service
Now start the service
sudo systemctl start tor.service
And check the status via
sudo systemctl status tor.service
Testification
In order to test whatever configuration you made use the following command to bind and use firefox with proxychain
proxychains firefox dnsleak.test
dnsleak.test will test you if your dns is leaking geolocation.
As you see it has changed the IP.
Using with nmap
Sudo proxychains nmap -sS -sV 192.168.1.1
So it is working !!!
So yeah that is it hackers for todays video and i’ll see you in the next interesting article.
So learn more and don’t forget to check our blogs we keep updating the content daily .
Happy Hacking Hackers !!!
