Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides an advanced tunneling tool using a TUN interface to create userland network stacks for secure pivoting and post-exploitation.
- Eliminates the need for SOCKS proxies by translating packets directly via a tun interface, enabling faster and simpler network tunneling.
- Use for pentesters needing seamless TCP/UDP/ICMP tunneling without administrative privileges on the target agent.
- Use for red teams requiring automatic tunnel recovery and multiplexing across Windows, Linux, MacOS, and BSD platforms.
- Use for security researchers wanting to run network scanning tools like nmap without proxychains, leveraging direct TCP connect() translation.
