Hi,

I've spent a while looking for this - does anyone know of a program
that can provide ssh and socks5 tunnelling capabilities (for use with a
secure proxy) with port forwarding so that multiple programs can be
directed to it and it will forward these requests on to a set of
specified proxies (depending on whether ssh or socks5)?

Oh, and this software must run without install. :(

Any help would be fantastic.

Cheers,
ChampagneDP

So in effect you want a way to do ssh and socks5 tunnelling from a
machine that is locked down and won't allow ytou to run the windows
installer.

If you can't run install on the machine THERE IS A REASON FOR IT and I
for one ain't gonna help you circumvent it.

I understand your point - if a machine has installation restricted,
it's for a reason... but i'm not trying to install anything by force -
if that were the case I'd just be looking for cracks to attain
administrator privilege.

Instead, I'm looking for a program that, as you say, facilitates SSL
and SOCKS v5 tunneling (including port hiding) that runs without
registry read/writes and so needs no installations. Very different
kettle of fish.

Why? Well as you may know, Primedius offer a USB program that runs a
version of linux with firefox etc... installed, so that people on the
move can utilise public boxes without being monitored, for whatever
reason (the desire for privacy isn't always a bad thing). I was just
looking for the equivalent that doesnt require you to boot off a
removable drive, and which also doesnt tie you to primedius.

I hope I've cleared that up - any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Um, no, thats exactly what I thought you meant.

The desire to circumvent authorized monitoring IS always a bad thing. If
someone wants to use anonymous proxies they should do it from their own
machine. This sort of thing should not happen without permission from
the owner of the machine. Period.

I don't think such an animal exists. Closest I have seen would be the
later versions of HipCrimes news agent, which would run without install
and supported socks5 (as well as TLS), but only does NNTP. And it's been
mostly purged from the net - you can't get a copy of it easily nowadays.

Perhaps. But what constitutes "authorized"? Email
snooping? And a desire to circumvent UNauthorized
monitoring IS always a good thing.

Everything not expressly allowed is presumed forbidden?
Perhaps in Germany but not in America. If an owner
doesn't want others to use anonymous proxies, can't
they just route them to 127.0.0.1?

Why? What legitimate owner's interest is being protected?
What requires machine-level monitoring rather than
firewall/gateway monitoring?

On one level, a cybercafe owner or employer has certain rights.
But the user also has certain privacy rights [inalienable
in the EU] that the machine owner simply may not be able
to provide. Maybe then the machine should not be used.
But maybe a smart owner would allow non-damaging use?
