## Verification Steps
1. Start `msfconsole`
2. Do: `use auxiliary/server/socks4a`
3. Do: `run`
4. Do: `curl --proxy socks4a://localhost:1080 https://github.com`
5. You should see the source for the Github homepage
## Options
**SRVHOST**
The local IP address to bind the proxy to. The default value of `0.0.0.0` will expose the proxy to everything on the attacker's network.
**SRVPORT**
The local port to bind the proxy to. The default value is `1080`, the standard port for a socks4a proxy.
## Scenarios
This module is great when pivoting across a network. Suppose we have two machines:
1. Attacker's machine, on the `192.168.1.0/24` subnet.
2. Victim machine with two network interfaces, one attached to the `192.168.1.0/24` subnet and the other attached to the non-routable `10.0.0.0/24` subnet.
We'll begin by starting the socks4a proxy:
```
msf > use auxiliary/server/socks4a
msf auxiliary(socks4a) > run
[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
[*] Starting the socks4a proxy server
msf auxiliary(socks4a) >
```
Preparing to pivot across a network requires us to first establish a Meterpreter session on the victim machine. From there, we can use the `autoroute` script to enable access to the non-routable subnet:
```
meterpreter > run autoroute -s 10.0.0.0/24
```
The `autoroute` module will enable our local socks4a proxy to direct all traffic to the `10.0.0.0/24` subnet through our Meterpreter session, causing it to emerge from the victim's machine and thus giving us access to the non-routable subnet. We can now use `curl` to connect to a machine on the non-routable subnet via the socks4a proxy:
```
curl --proxy socks4a://localhost:1080 http://10.0.0.15:8080/robots.txt
```
We can take this a step further and use proxychains to enable other tools that don't have built-in support for proxies to access the non-routable subnet. The short-and-sweet guide to installing and configuring proxychains looks something like this:
```
# apt-get install proxychains
# cp /etc/proxychains.conf /etc/proxychains.conf.backup
# echo "socks4 127.0.0.1 8080" > /etc/proxychains.conf
```
From there, we can use our other tools by simply prefixing them with `proxychains`:
```
# proxychains curl http://10.0.0.15:8080/robots.txt
# proxychains nmap -sT -Pn -n -p 22 10.0.0.15
# proxychains firefox
```
