This is CSTC version 4.2 of SOCKS, a package that allows Unix hosts
|
||
|
|
behind a firewall to gain full access to the internet without requiring
|
||
|
|
direct IP reachability. It does require a SOCKS server program being
|
||
|
|
run on a hosts that can communicate directly to hosts behind the firewall
|
||
|
|
as well as hosts on the Internet at large. It is based on the original
|
||
|
|
SOCKS written by David Koblas <koblas@netcom.com>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The package includes full source for the SOCKS server and SOCKSified
|
||
|
|
client programs of finger, ftp, telnet, and whois. A few other SOCKSified
|
||
|
|
clients may be found on ftp.nec.com, in directory /pub/security/socks.cstc.
|
||
|
|
Increasingly, software developers are beginning to include SOCKS support
|
||
|
|
directly into their products, for example, Mosaic, Netscape, Trumpet
|
||
|
|
Winsock, TCP/Connect II (from InterCon for Macintosh; they also intend
|
||
|
|
to do so for their Windows version), OutsideVew for Windows (from Crystal
|
||
|
|
Point, currently in beta).
