# tpserv(8)

program that implements a proxy

## NAME

**tpserv** - program that implements a proxy

## SYNOPSIS

```
tpserv [-V] [-v] [-h] [-D] [-c] [-p port]
```

## DESCRIPTION

**tpserv is a program that implements a proxy, a attack or whatever** **you want to call it.**

**It just listens on DST\_PORT\_PROXY that is configurable** **with -p option and receives the reassembled data stream from kernel.**

**Currently this program supports a mode in which echoes everything back to the** **src host or the mode in that it connects to destination to which the client** **wanted to connect and relay everything from client to that destination and** **everything from destination to the client. See the limitations on how the** **connection will look like on destination host.**

**It is possible to insert some code to this program to modify data from/to** **source/destination (but this you will have to do yourself).**

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  **Show help message and exit.**

- **-V**

  **Print version.**

- **-v**

  **Verbose mode (prints connections).**

- **-vv**

  **Even more verbose (prints connections and received/send packets).**

- **-D**

  **Daemon mode.**

- **-c**

  **Connection mode (default is echo mode).**

- **-p \[*port*\]**

  **Set DST\_PORT\_PROXY listen.**

## EXAMPLES

**HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER - HUNT/TRANSPROXY/TPSERV**

```
  Here is small example how to use together hunt, transproxy and tpserv.
  1. At the beginning run tpsetup/transproxy program.
     The default destination port is 7000 and redirecting port is 7044.
  2. Run tpserv/tpserv -v (or -vv).
  3. Run hunt and enter arp spoof daemon menu. Do not start the daemon unless
     you modify the tpsetup/transproxy script "i" insert the single arp spoof
     in this order:
          - IP address (name) of your gateway or IP address (name) of destination
            host if the host is in the same IP subnet as source host.
          - as fake mac address enter 'my' or enter your interface MAC address.
          - enter IP address (name) of source host (client) from which you want
            to receive data - connections.
          - optionally enter refresh interval "t" test if the spoof was successful.
  4. from the source host try to run telnet 1.1.1.1 7000 (or telnet
     destination_name 7000) and type some chars. The chars should be echoed back
     by tpserv program.
  You can then play little bit with DST_PORT setting in setup/transproxy script
  and/or -c option of tpserv program or change tpserv to modify data going
  from/to source/destination.
```
