socks
Socks is a library for creating SOCKS clients and servers. Socks is a network proxy and can proxy connections like HTTP requests or ssh connections.

Usage
A SOCKS Client so to make a connection you have to have a corresponding SOCKS server. The easiest one to use is ssh.
To start up a local ssh SOCKS server you can connect to yourself.
# Setup SOCKS on localhost
ssh -D 1080 -C -N 127.0.0.1
Have a local SOCKS server directing its connection to a remote host.
# Setup SOCKS connecting to remote host
ssh -D 1080 -C -N user@remote.com
Basic Usage
Basic Socket
To open a socks connection and send a basic HTTP request and get a response.
require "socks"
socket = Socks.new(addr: "52.85.89.35")
request = HTTP::Request.new("GET", "/", HTTP::Headers{"Host" => "crystal-lang.org"})
request.to_io(socket)
socket.flush
response = HTTP::Client::Response.from_io?(socket)
if response.success?
puts "Got to crystal through SOCKS5!!!"
end
Basic Client
Socks::Client functions almost like the Crystal (HTTP::Client)[https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/HTTP/Client.html]
client = Socks::Client.new("www.example.com", host_addr: "127.0.0.1", host_port: 1080)
response = client.get("/")
puts response.status_code # => 200
puts response.body.lines.first # => "<!doctype html>"
client.close
Basic UDP
Socks::UDP functions almost like the Crystal (UDPSocket)[https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/UDPSocket.html]
server = UDPSocket.new
server.bind "localhost", 9999
client = Socks::UDP.new(host_addr: "127.0.0.1", host_port: 1080)
client.connect "localhost", 9999
client.send "message"
message, client_addr = server.receive
message # => "message"
client_addr # => Socket::IPAddress(127.0.0.1:50516)
client.close
server.close
you can use Socks::Client almost like the Crystal (HTTP::Client)[https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/HTTP/Client.html]
client = Socks::Client.new("www.example.com", host_addr: "127.0.0.1", host_port: 1080)
response = client.get("/")
puts response.status_code # => 200
puts response.body.lines.first # => "<!doctype html>"
client.close
Remote server connnection
To open a connection to a remote SOCKS5 Server.
require "socks"
socket = Socks.new(host_addr: "gateway.com", addr: "52.85.89.35")
request = HTTP::Request.new("GET", "/", HTTP::Headers{"Host" => "crystal-lang.org"})
request.to_io(socket)
socket.flush
response = HTTP::Client::Response.from_io?(socket)
if response.success?
puts "Got to crystal through SOCKS5!!!"
end
Connection using none default ports
Sometimes you connect to web servers or remote SOCKS servers on ports that are not default. This is built into the top level interface no having to deal with requests or connection requests directly.
require "socks"
socket = Socks.new(host_addr: "gateway.com" host_port: 8010, addr: "52.85.89.35", port: 3000)
request = HTTP::Request.new("GET", "/", HTTP::Headers{"Host" => "crystal-lang.org"})
request.to_io(socket)
socket.flush
response = HTTP::Client::Response.from_io?(socket)
if response.success?
puts "Got to crystal through SOCKS5!!!"
end
Use the raw socket
sending some raw data over the socket.
require "socks"
socket = Socks.new(addr: "127.0.0.1")
socket << "ping"
if socket.gets == "pong"
puts "hello SOCKS!!"
end
Specs
Before running specs you should add your public key to the authorized keys. Please read below if you have not previously set up a socks server for testing. Although I like Unit Test Spec SOCKS only use tools in the stdlib so this is written in spec style syntax.
Runnning specs
To run the test suite use the spec command built into crystal.
crystal spec
Setup SOCKS Server
enable key based authentication for testing
# enable key based localhost authentication
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
TOR
There are some basic tests for a commonly used SOCKS5 server tor.
Debian
Install tor via apt.
sudo apt install tor
Optional: Start tor at login and keep tor running in the background.
systemctl start tor
MAC
Use homebrew to install tor on your mac.
brew install tor
Optional: Use brew services to keep tor running in the background.
brew services start tor
