The Framework includes transparent support for TCP proxies, this release has handler routines for HTTP CONNECT and SOCKSv4 servers. To use a proxy with a given exploit, the Proxies environment variable needs to be set. The value of this variable is a comma-separated list of proxy servers, where each server is in the format type:host:port. The type values are 'http' for HTTP CONNECT and 'socks4' for SOCKS v4. The proxy chain can be of any length; testing shows that the system was stable with over five hundred SOCKS and HTTP proxies configured randomly in a chain. The proxy chain only masks the exploit request, the automatic connection to the payload is not relayed through the proxy chain at this time.
