SOCKS2HTTP

This project is a SOCKS5 to HTTP proxy server written in Rust. It allows clients to connect to the internet through an HTTP proxy server using SOCKS5 protocol.

Features

• SOCKS5 server with user/password authentication (always succeeds - see note below)
• Forwards traffic to a configured HTTP proxy server
• Logs connection details and timings (connection establishment, authentication, data transfer)

Note: Currently, authentication on the SOCKS5 server always succeeds. This is to make forwarding credentials to HTTP proxy possible.

Usage

Requirements:

• Rust compiler (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)

Building:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/1zun4/socks2http.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd socks2http

3. Build the project:

   cargo build

Running:

1. Run the server:

   cargo run

Client Usage:

You can use any SOCKS5 client to connect to the server. Here's an example using curl:

curl -x socks5://127.0.0.1:42000 -U "username_of_http:password_of_http" https://ipinfo.io/json

This command will connect to https://ipinfo.io/json through the SOCKS5 server running on localhost:42000, using the provided username and password for HTTP proxy authentication.

Configuration

• The SOCKS5 server listens on 127.0.0.1:42000 by default. You can change this by modifying the PROXY_SOCKS5_ADDR constant in the source code.
• The HTTP proxy server address is configured in the PROXY_HTTP_ADDR constant. You need to replace it with the actual address of your HTTP proxy server.

Logging

The project uses the env_logger crate for logging. You can adjust the verbosity level by setting the RUST_LOG environment variable before running the server. For example:

RUST_LOG=info cargo run

This will only log informational messages.
