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.

a peice of cloth (usually cotton) that gets caught in the space between the dryers' spin thingy and the actualy dryer, and then creates a big fire that almost burns down the house, causing a mother and an only child to call 911, only to find that 911 is on their lunch break so it takes them 9 RINGS to pick up and then 10 minutes to get to their house...armed with 3 or 4 fire trucks and a few police cars...all of which are unnecessary...even under these circumstances. (yes, this is a true story)

Not a shoe.
I put my socks on in the morning. It is important to wear socks because if you don't your feet will smell the next day.
