overhaul README
especially mentioning that proxychains is a HACK so it may not work. it is a hack because it modifies existing programs in a way not originally intended by its authors. additionally it relies on a very complicated and fragile dynamic linker infrastructure which can easily break, as is the case with glibc-linked programs that use dlopen() (see issue #10).

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.

this program works only on DYNAMICALLY LINKED programs.
|
|
||||||
also both proxychains and the program to call must use
|
|
||||||
the same dynamic linker (i.e. same libc).
|
|
||||||
why ? because in order to hook to libc functions like
|
|
||||||
connect(), dynamic loader facilities are used, namely
|
|
||||||
dl_sym() and LD_PRELOAD.
