Proxychains - Grimoire

Routes tool traffic through a SOCKS proxy: pair with Chisel or SSH dynamic forwarding to reach internal networks.

Config (/etc/proxychains.conf)

Point proxychains at whichever SOCKS proxy is active: change the port to match your tunnel setup.

socks5 127.0.0.1 1080

Prepend proxychains to any command to route it through the tunnel: note that nmap requires -sT -Pn since SYN scans don’t work over SOCKS.

proxychains nmap -sT -Pn <IP>
proxychains nxc smb <IP> -u user -p pass
proxychains evil-winrm -i <IP> -u user -p pass

Opens a SOCKS5 proxy on localhost without needing chisel: ideal when you already have SSH access to the pivot.

ssh -D 1080 user@<IP>
