program: proxyd
module: proxyd.c
summary: provides proxy tcp service for a host on an isolated network.
programmer: Carl Harris (ceharris@vt.edu)
date: 22 Feb 94
description:
This code implements a daemon process which listens for tcp connec-
tions on a specified port number. When a connection is established,
a child is forked to handle the new client. The child then
estab-
lishes a tcp connection to a port on the isolated host. The child
then
falls into a loop in which it writes data to the isolated host
for the client and vice-versa. Once a child has been forked, the
parent resumes listening for additional connections.
The name of the isolated host and the port to serve as proxy for,
as well as the port number the server listen on are specified as
command line arguments.

This is a little daemon I felt was useful and was able to compile, so I thought I would make it available.
I did not write this! I am just compiling and distributing. The source code hadd no restrictions ondo
ing so.
All I know as far as how to use it is what it says:
usage: proxyd
Which means:
proxyd localport-on-this-machine the-host-this-is-to port-or-name
EXAMPLE:
Say you have a machine named MYHOST want to bind your port #777 to the TELNET poort of the host REMOTEHOST.
Use: proxyd 777 REMOTEHOST telnet
then
if you did 'telnet MYHOST 777' you would actually connect to the TELNET porrt of the host REMOTEHOST.
As far as the 'service-name/port-number' goes: services can be referred to eitheer by a number or a name. For example, NNTP requests are usually on port 119, so if you wanted to connect directly to a machine todo
NNTP you coulddo
either:
telnet REMOTEHOST nntp
or
telnet REMOTEHOST 119
NOTE/WARNING: Make sure to use an unused port on your machine! If you are not ssure,do
this:
Use: proxyd 777 REMOTEHOST telnet
then
if you did 'telnet MYHOST 777' you would actually connect to the TELNET por
As far as the 'service-name/port-number' goes: services can be referred to eithe
telnet REMOTEHOST nntp
or
telnet REMOTEHOST 119
NOTE/WARNING: Make sure to use an unused port on your machine! If you are not srt of the host REMOTEHOST.
