A protocol for handling TCP traffic through a proxy server. It can be used with virtually any TCP application, including Web browsers and FTP clients. It provides a simple firewall because it checks incoming and outgoing packets and hides the IP addresses of client applications.

There are two main versions of SOCKS -- V4 and V5. V5 adds an authentication mechanism for additional security. There are many freeware implementations of both versions. One of the most common V5 implementations is SOCKS5, developed by NEC.
Before I attempted to hack that server, I connected through multipe SOCKS proxies.

One of the most powerful objects in existence. While some may think of this as a mere object, it is far more than that. It's power holds infinite potential and is far stronger than the n word pass. Don't take it lightly
