- Implementation of SocksSocket option - SocksSocket implements a SOCKS
|
|
proxy reachable by Unix Domain Socket. This allows client applications to
|
|
communicate with Tor without having the ability to create AF_INET or
|
|
AF_INET6 family sockets. If an application has permission to create a socket
|
|
with AF_UNIX, it may directly communicate with Tor as if it were an other
|
|
SOCKS proxy. This should allow high risk applications to be entirely prevented
|
|
from connecting directly with TCP/IP, they will be able to only connect to the
|
|
internet through AF_UNIX and only through Tor.
