Send and receive via SOCKS5 c++

Question

I am playing with SOCKS5 proxy ( TOR ). I am able to estabilish connection but now I dont know how to send and receive data to/from destination. Thanks for help. Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <WinSock2.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#pragma comment(lib,"ws2_32.lib")
#define PUT_BYTE(ptr,data) (*(unsigned char*)ptr = data)

int main()

    WORD wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD(2,0);
    WSADATA wsaData;
    if(WSAStartup(wVersionRequested,&wsaData) != 0 )
    {
        return 1;
    }
    int fd = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (fd < 0)
        return 1;
    struct sockaddr_in destaddr;
    destaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("xx.xx.xx.xx");
    int dest_port = 80;

    struct sockaddr_in saddr;
    saddr.sin_port = htons(9150);
    saddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    saddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
    int rv = connect( fd, (struct sockaddr *)&saddr, sizeof(saddr));
    if(rv < SOCKET_ERROR)
        return 1;
    char buf[256], *ptr;
    ptr = buf;
    PUT_BYTE( ptr++,5);
    PUT_BYTE( ptr++,1);
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,0x00);
    send(fd,buf,ptr-buf,0);
    recv(fd,buf,2,0);
    if ( (buf[0] != 5) || buf[1] == 0xFF )
    {
        return 1;
    }
    ptr = buf;
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,5);
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,1);
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,0);
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,1);
    memcpy( ptr, &destaddr.sin_addr.s_addr,sizeof(destaddr.sin_addr));
    ptr += sizeof(destaddr.sin_addr);
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,dest_port>>8);
    PUT_BYTE(ptr++,dest_port&0xFF);
    send(fd,buf,ptr-buf,0);
    recv(fd,buf,4,0);
    if(buf[1] != 0x00)
    {
        return 1;
    }
    ptr = buf + 4;
    switch ( buf[3] ) {                         
    case 1:                                     
        recv( fd, ptr, 4+2,0 );              
        break;
    case 3:                                     
        recv( fd, ptr, 1 ,0);                 
        recv( fd, ptr+1, *(unsigned char*)ptr + 2,0);
        break;
    case 4:                                    
        recv( fd, ptr, 16+2,0 );              
        break;
    }

    printf("Succes!");
    //How to send and receive data now? Now we are connected on port 80 and for example I want to send http get request and receive the answer.

    return 0;


}

How to send and receive data now? Now we are connected on port 80 and for example I want to send http get request and receive the answer.

Solution 1

Once you have successfully authenticated with the proxy and told it where to connect to, then you simply send/recv your desired data (in this case, the HTTP data) using the existing connection to the proxy, as if you had connected to the target server directly and not to a proxy. Once the proxy session is established, all subsequent sends/receives are transparent to your app.

Update: You might also want to clean up your code so it is easier to read, fix your existing broken error handling, and add some additional error handling that is missing:

Solution 2

I recently found a modern C++ implementation for sending and receiving data through a SOCKS5 proxy server, this person looks like he had implemented the SOCKS5's User/Pass Authentication too (along with Anonymous mode) and also with remote and local DNS resolution options (for more privacy).

Take a look: https://github.com/harsathAI/SOCKS5-Proxy-Handler

(Note: I'm not the author of that SOCKS5 client interface I linked above)

Seriously? You want him to call curl from a C++ program?

[zkilnbqi]

Curl has libraries for many programming languages, including C++. It is silly to try and use send/recv when curl does all this for you. No need to re-invent the wheel.

[zkilnbqi]

I would dispute the claim that this is simpler than using curl below.

[Remy Lebeau]

Look at the timestamps. My answer was posted over a month before the curl answer was posted.

[Navin]

I thought you are referring to the "curl" tool. Anyway, just because you can't compile a SOCKS client does not mean the rest of us can't. In fact, it works just fine. Curl is good for scripts, not programs.

[Admin]

I still can't believe, even 5 years later, that someone would say "curl library is good for scripts, not programs". Internet itself is only good for scripts so it's fine I guess, considering it's a bit too slow for C++.
