Evade Detection

Background

To scan any device, you can easily be discovered by the target. To avoid this, we can set up a proxy server to disguise our ip address.

One method is to use proxychains.

Installation


sudo apt install proxychains

Configurations

The configuration file is in /etc/proxychains.conf. Then configure the file,


dynamic_chain # uncomment
# strict_chain # comment
# random_chain 
proxy_dns # never comment since it hides us
...
[ProxyList]
#socks4 127.0.0.1 9050 # this is pointing to us
socks4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port # our proxy server
... # add more

Then run this proxychains firefox google.com.

How to use?


proxychains firefox google.com
proxychains nmap -sT -p 80,443 xxx.xxx.x.xx
