Proxychains can be mixed up with a different proxy types in a list.Support SOCKS5, SOCKS4, and HTTP CONNECT proxy servers.In this article, i will discuss about a built-in anonymity service in Kali Linux and or others penetration testing based systems, it is Proxychains. it can provide a client with more privacy then if simply connecting directly to the Internet. By connecting to the Internet through proxies, the client IP address will not be shown but rather the IP of the proxy server. A proxy or proxy server is a dedicated computer or software system running on a computer which acts as an intermediary between an end device, such as a computer and another server which a client is requesting any services from. In order to do penetration testing anonymously and decrease the possibility of identity detection, hackers need to use an intermediary machine whose IP address will be left on the target system. VPN (Virtual Private Network), Proxyservers and RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) are some of the tools to guard their identity.

Tools can be used in order to hide the hacker’s identity from being exposed.

Hackers want to be anonymous and hard to be detected while doing their work.
