Development of a Dynamic Identity Hiding System Combining Tor and SOCKS5 Proxy

Short description
Implements an automated IP-rotation controller that interfaces with Tor's ControlPort and routes traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy; optionally supports obfs4 bridges for DPI resistance.

Key Techniques

• Tor ControlPort automation to request new circuits (NEWNYM) programmatically.
• Routing and verification of traffic via local SOCKS5 (socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050).
• obfs4 bridge support for environments subject to DPI/censorship.

---

Prerequisites

• Debian/Kali Linux with Tor installed and ControlPort enabled.
• Python 3 environment with stem and requests[socks] (or equivalent).
• Local SOCKS5 proxy (Tor service) reachable at 127.0.0.1:9050.

---

Quick Start (summary — non-executable)

1. Ensure Tor is configured with ControlPort and authentication (cookie or password).
2. Review ghost_mode3.py configuration options (interval, verification endpoint).
3. Launch the script in the isolated test environment and observe printed status and IP verification outputs.

The script includes logging and error handling; review tor logs if identity changes fail.

Safety & Ethics

• Use for privacy research and testing only.
• Do not use to perform illegal acts, abuse third-party services, or bypass local laws and regulations.
• Respect terms-of-service of remote endpoints; use test endpoints when possible.

---

Troubleshooting & Notes

• If using obfs4, confirm obfs4proxy installation and valid bridge lines in torrc.
• DNS leaks: ensure local resolver does not leak host DNS queries (consider locking /etc/resolv.conf in controlled setups).

Artifacts

• ghost_mode3.py — controller script.
• docs/ — test logs, success/failure statistics, obfs4 instructions.
