Stay Secured By IP Spoofing In Kali Linux or Ubuntu Using Torsocks

torsocks allows you to use most applications in a safe way with TOR. It ensures that DNS requests are handled safely and explicitly rejects any traffic other than TCP from the application you’re using. In this post we will cover IP spoofing in Kali Linux with torsocks which will allow users to connect to certain services that is banned to them. torsocks is an ELF shared library that is loaded before all others. The library overrides every needed Internet communication libc function calls such as connect() or gethostbyname().

This process is transparent to the user and if torsocks detects any communication that can’t go through the Tor network such as UDP traffic, for instance, the connection is denied. If, for any reason, there is no way for torsocks to provide the Tor anonymity guarantee to your application, torsocks will force the application to quit and stop everything.  In this article I will guide you to IP spoofing in Kali using torsocks.

Many applications do not directly support the use of SOCKS proxy. torsocks enables such applications to use the tor SOCKS proxy.

Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the torsocks library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy.

Installation

torsocks gets installed along with the tor package on Kali Linux or Ubuntu for example:

root@kali:~# apt-get install tor

(or)

user@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install tor
