Done squid is already the newest version (4.13-1). Done Building dependency tree Reading state information. apt-get install squid -y Reading package lists. I’ve installed it already but you will install it like this. but you will probably need to use “ yum” instead of “ apt” to install packages and they may be listed slightly different. You can use other flavours of Linux like Redhat, CentOS etc. Kali and Ubuntu would be good options as the commands I use in this article will be the same. I’m going to install Squid into my Kali linux instance but you can install it into any Linux based system.
SQUIDMAN PROXY HOW TO
This article is going to provide you with a tutorial on how to use Squid and how easy it is to force an unsuspecting victim to use your transparent proxy without them being none the wiser. I’ve mentioned in my other articles that if a site offers 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) you should use it. If the hacker were able to see your username and password on a low risk site they can try the same credentials on other more important sites. In quite a lot of cases people use the same login credentials on multiple sites.

You may think the site you are using is unimportant or low risk without encryption but what if it allows the hacker to install a remote shell, key logger or any other nasty exploit. You shouldn’t really be using any sites which aren’t as it is trivial to capture and manipulate what you are receiving, steel your credentials, or trick you into installing exploits. Most websites these days use HTTPS/SSL which is important. What I find particularly interesting is it can be used for data manipulation provided the traffic is unencrypted HTTP traffic. It has a wide variety of uses including speeding up a web server by caching repeated requests, web traffic and other network services. It was officially released in July 1996 and it is a caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy. Squid is not considered a typical ethical hacking tool.
