SSH Socks5 Proxy set up for Secure Web Browsing away from home
If you have ever been scared to surf the over the internet at an
internet cafe like starbucks or Barnes & Nobles…etc I have the
perfect and “FREE” way of staying secure while your browsing the web
away from your home. I made this for all my Top-Hat-Sec friends who
might get some use out of this. Lets begin shall we..
Step 1: You first would want to install Backbox or backtrack…etc on a spare machine.
Step 2: You are going to need to forward your ports for on the spare
machine your setting up, so set a static IP on that machine through your
network manager. Mine is set to 192.168.0.109 for example. And now well
forward port 8080 and port 22 on your router “Make sure you forward the
ports to the IP of your spare computer which mine would be once again
192.168.0.109 on port 8080 & 22
Step 3: You’ll want to start the SSH service on either backbox or backtrack in your start menu. Services > SSH > SSH Start
Step 4: once the service is running well be able to go to another
computer which is not on your local network and SSH in to the spare
computer and be able to use it as a socks5 Proxy to encrypt our traffic
and actually be surfing the web through the spare computers connection..
The way we would connect I’ll describe below:
“Note this is on another computer and out of your home network & IP Adress”
Type: root@21.116.178.14 -D 8080
—–> 21.116.178.14 being your external IP address of your home network
—–> -D 8080 this creates the dynamic socks proxy using port 8080
Now we’ll need to set up the socks 5 proxy in firefox
Go to Edit > Preference > Network > Settings & click on Manual proxy configuration. Now under socks Host in the little box type 127.0.0.1 and in the port box you’ll want to type in 8080 and click ok..
Now you can check your IP address using www.ipchicken.com and see that your IP has changed and you are now using your home connection to browse the internet.
I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and find it of use. Thanks for checking it out Any questions just post them and I’ll try to help you work through it.

Most of the people have autorun issues with their flash/hard drives.It is because of the modification of the autorun.inf file in the root directory which is in most cases hidden and cant be seen. So you just have to create a bat file with the following syntax as mentioned below. Copy and paste this into Notepad and save it as AV.bat or whatever.bat ..

A lot of them may have experienced leechers or have leeched themselves through an open network. An easy way to prevent that from happening is to encrypt your network traffic. One of these methods is by use of WEP or Wired Equivalent Privacy. I’m going to talk about why you shouldn’t use WEP and how easy it is to crack....
A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure way of connecting to a private Local Area Network at a remote location, using the Internet or any insecure public network to transport the network data packets privately, using encryption. The VPN uses authentication to deny access to unauthorized users, and encryption to prevent unauthorized users from reading the private network packets...
