How To Setup Proxychains In Kali Linux - #2 - Change Your IP

hey guys hack exploit here back again with another video and welcome back to the ethical hacking course today we're going to be talking about proxy chains so this is actually going to be the second proxy chain tutorial in the previous video I talked about proxy chains what they are how they work and I introduced you guys to the proxy chain. configuration file so in this video I'm going to go into some really advanced stuff when it comes to proxy chain I'm going to show you how to set it up I'm going to show you that it actually works live so I hope you guys are ready so let's get to it uh so like any other ethical hacking videos it all begins in the humble shell of the terminal so open up your terminal and let's get started so uh in the previous video I was using the Nano editor and I'm going to keep on using the Nano editor now let me explain why you guys might be asking yourself well there's the Vim editor and there's so many others why aren't I using any of those well I'm trying to keep these tutorials as beginner friendly as possible so that almost everyone can understand them and it's very easy for them to grasp the concept of editing a configuration file in the terminal so let's get started Nano and we're going to access the proxy change. configuration file we're going to go to the ETC or Etc and proxy chains. configuration and let's open that up now in the previous video I explained why we need to uncomment the dynamic chain that's basically activ activating the dynamic chain now the dynamic chain will basically allow the IP IP addresses to change in a very Dynamic um in a very Dynamic Manner and I explained that in the previous video um about how it works for strict chain is going to it's basically going to go through a series of ips but the basically it's easier to detect because those IPS will be just repeating themselves and a random chain this is basically one of the worst ways of uh proxy chain anonymization and for very obvious reason random each connection will be done VI a random proxy and that if your proxy doesn't work you're basically stumped and you have to restart the process all over again so let's go all the way down now I also told you to uncomment the proxy DNS requests no leak for DNS data this will basically will um will prevent leaking of DNS data so you're even if you're not using a custom DNS that's in not in your country it'll actually it'll actually just follow the IP's DNS to whichever country that's in so this is very important make sure that that's active and you can do that by uncommenting as I did with the um the the uh Dynamic chain up there so let's go down all the way to the example section now in the example section I told you guys to take a look at the format of the of basically how a proxy chain or a proxifier DNS works now this is the proxifier DNS this is socks 5 that's what you're going to be using because it's the safest and it's the fastest really and this is the address of the proxy not nothing really to say there that's basically just the address you then have the port you guys know what ports are and right here a lot of people have been asking me what this is well basically this is the username and password examples so if you actually buy a proxy or a proxifier or a proxy chain uh um in most cases they'll usually give you a username and password and this is where you get to enter them so we're going to use Tor uh and the proxy chains in in in interation together so they're actually going to work together so let me explain how we're going to do that so in the proxy list section here this is actually where we configure the proxies as you can see the defaults have been set to tore but it's being used in the socks 4 but we don't want that but instead of removing that we're just going to use this one so go to the line just below socks 4 and we're going to add socks five and you want to hit the tab button on your keyboard and that's basically going to follow the format of the command above it so it's going to for follow the format just above which is a very good format 127.0.0.1 and 9050 all right now why are we using 127.0.0.1 test by running this to test if the proxy chains are working so socks 5 we've actually configured and to be honest we're actually done here now I'm going to show you the proxy chains working with an example or actually I'm just going to run it live so we are going to save this file and to save the file you want to hit control o and it's going to ask you to to write uh to to write the changes and I'm going to hit enter and it's written and to exit the Nano editor hit control X all right and we're going to clear the console and finally we can begin uh checking so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to check if the toour service is running most likely it's not running uh so let's check uh to service actually it is running um well hold on all right uh so what I'm going to do is um what I'm going to do is is I'm going to close this terminal and I'm going to open another one and I'm going to stop it stop uh actually hold on it's service door stop all right and I'm I've stopped it if yours is not open don't worry just skip this step uh and we're going to start it again service to start all right and I'm going to hit service to start and it's it's going to start the toour service now we can actually begin with the proxy chains as I explained we're going to using we're going to be using the to proxy with uh we're basically going to using the top proxies with the proxy chains configuration file at least for this video uh so the way to test this is we're going to type proxy chains proxy chains we're going to use a browser I'm going to use Firefox that's basically oops my typing today is pretty bad Firefox you can use ice weasel and basically ice weasel is just Firefox uh so we're going to use Firefox anyway and we're going to enter a test website to test whether the proxies are working I'm going to use www.duckduckgo.com and the reason I'm using this is not anything uh particular uh I just want to also recommend this uh search engine to you guys I know you guys are very fond of Google but duck Dogo is one of the sites or search engines that does not keep your IP addresses and track you so it's in terms of anonymity and when you're performing like who is scans on targets I would recommend Dr go it just keeps you safer but anyway we're using proxy chains so all you have to do is hit enter and it's going to start proxy chains and it's going to open Firefox and it's going to open www.duckduckgo.com obviously it's going to take a while CU it's running through the proxy chains and just give it its time and it should start it should open up Duck du go and there you have it it's opened up Duck Duo but you might be asking how do I know I'm Anonymous or how do I know I'm safe well firstly let let's look at the terminal so as you can see you're going to see um that it's basically accepted these IPS and you don't have to worry about what it outputs here so to test it I'm going to check for DNS leaks now how do we check for DNS leaks we basically just going to do a duct go search check for DNS leaks all right and it's going to hopefully return some results that was very quick and we're going to test the DNS leak test all right so let's open that up uh all right so as you can see it said my address is 17658 198 from London United Kingdom I can tell you for a fact that I'm not in London in United Kingdom I'm well I'm really really I'm really far from here so as you can see it's actually working and if we start the standard test to test whether any DNS information was leaked regarding my real location we'll see that it's probably going to give us a UK DNS or it's actually given us a German DNS so that's actually even better it just makes you more Anonymous now you guys might also be asking how do we know this is working and my EP will be changing well to do that I'm just going to close this browser and I'm going to say um service store stop or I could say service store restart to save the time all right and uh once that's done I'm going to clear this and I'm going to say I'm going to run the previous command the proxy Janes Firefox dogo.com just to test that and let it start up again and there you are it should start up again depending on which prox it's using it'll either be faster or slower if it doesn't work don't worry just give it a few seconds and it should it should work because it'll go through this the series of proxy changes you can see here and some will be denied and some will work anyway it's return Duck Duck Go so we can actually perform the DNS search again so check for d s uh DNS leaks all right again very fast let's check for DNS leaks and we should hopefully have a different IP and there you are guys it's actually giving us an IP from Prague the check Czech Republic sorry if I butchered that um let's check what uh DNS it's giving us let's see what DNS it's giving us very nice it's running the test a bit slow but uh it's worth it whether you're performing scans or SQL injection and there we are Germany so this is actually pretty cool and I've actually shown you guys that it really does work if you use this method you're going to be anonymous and uh that's all I can really say uh knock yourselves out go ahead and do anything you want this is really useful for for the for people who are complaining about scanning the nmap uh do scan me. nm.org now you can actually just change your IP and keep on using their domain for educational purposes is obviously anyway guys you can see that it's working I'm Anonymous right now uh I hope you guys enjoyed this video or I hope this video helped you if it did leave a like uh please share it because a a lot of other people need this information and if they can get it that'll be just great uh if you have any questions the comment section I you can contact me on on my kick or on any of my social media on my social networks anyway guys thank you guys so much for watching the video peace
