Using Tor For Shell

[jano_prospero]

Hello,

I am looking for the way to use tor from the shell. Does anybody know if this is possible?

What I would like to do is anonimize mi connections from the command line.

Thanks for your time.

if you have installed tor on your linux box, you should be able to tunnel traffic through tor using the "torify" command, example:

$ torify irssi

this will tunnel your irssi traffic through tor, making you anonymous.

also, you will find this link useful: http://forums.remote-exploit.org/newbie-ar...y-terminal.html

A better way to do this is by using socat to create a local tunnel. This works with any software that doesn't have native SOCKS proxy support. I once wrote this crappy script to make it easy:

#!/bin/sh
# crudely shutsdown socat (if running) and then restarts it for new host/port
# by sahal http://scr.im/sahal

# you can now connect to localhost:4242
# as if you were connecting to $1:$2
# using SOCKS proxy $orlisadr:$orport

# usage: ./socatchk remote-host remote-port

#SOCKS listen port 
orport=9150
#SOCKS listen address
orlisadr=localhost

[ "$(pidof socat >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo $?)" = 0 ] && kill $(pidof socat); [ "$(pidof socat && echo $?)" != 0 ] && sleep 3s; socat TCP4-LISTEN:4242,fork SOCKS4A:$orlisadr:$1:$2,socksport=$orport &

Just put that in a file 'socatchk' make it executable (chmod +x socatchk) and launch it (./socatchk remotehost remoteport) Now try to connect to localhost:4242. You should connect to the remote site (remotehost:remoteport) on any software that doesn't support SOCKS proxies natively.
