ProxyChains-ng
Featured⚖️ Dual Use · C
ProxyChains-ng is a preloader which hooks calls to sockets in dynamically linked programs and redirects them through one or more SOCKS/HTTP proxies. It allows you to use SSH, Telnet, wget, and virtually any TCP application through a proxy chain. It supports SOCKS4, SOCKS5, and HTTP CONNECT proxy servers and allows mixing different proxy types in the same chain. Widely used for pivoting through compromised hosts and anonymous scanning.
Installation

- Routing tools through SOCKS proxies for anonymity
