in this example it will resolve targethost.com through proxy(or chained proxies)
specified by proxychains.conf
Known Problems:
---------------
- newer versions of nmap try to determine the network interface to use
even if it's not needed (like when doing simple syn scans which use the
standard POSIX socket API. this results in errors when proxychains hands
out an ip address to a reserved address space.
possible workarounds: disable proxy_dns, use a numeric ip, or use nmap's
native support for SOCKS proxies.
- Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) ships with a new security feature called SIP
that prevents hooking of system apps.
workarounds are to partially disable SIP by issuing
csrutil enable --without debug in recovery mode,
or to copy the system binary into the home directory and run it from there.
see github issue #78 for details.
- the glibc dynlinker has a bug or security feature that inhibits dlopen()ed
modules from being subject to the same dlsym hooks as installed for the main
program. this mainly affects scripting languages such as perl or python
that heavily rely on dlopen() for modules written in C to work.
there are unconfirmed reports that it works as root though.
musl libc is unaffected from the bug.
