Does ProxyChains work with UDP?

proxychains4. Proxychains is a UNIX program, that hooks network-related libc functions in dynamically linked programs via a preloaded DLL (dlsym(), LD_PRELOAD) and redirects the connections through SOCKS4a/5 or HTTP proxies. It supports TCP only (no UDP/ICMP etc).

What protocols does proxychain support?

The proxychains works on socks4, socks5, HTTP, and https protocols.

Why do hackers use ProxyChains?

ProxyChains for hackers

Attackers often use proxies to hide their true identities while executing an attack. And when multiple proxies are chained together, it becomes harder and harder for forensics professionals to trace the traffic back to the original machine.

Can you use ProxyChains with Nmap?

Using Nmap with ProxyChains

This combination of tools effectively allows us to funnel all of Nmap's traffic through a SSH SOCKS5 proxy through a pivot laptop in a client's environment. We are using ProxyChains and Nmap to scan for vulnerabilities on an internal network.
