Question: Proxies not supported?

[DataGreed]

I did not find any mention of proxy support in the manual for the RustScan and setting up system-wide regular proxy through env variables on mac does not seem to work.

How do I use it with sock5 proxy?

RustScan runs on low-level TCP to ensure high speed.
A proxy will slow this down a lot

@justpoteto well, thank you for the observation, but that did does not answer the question in any way.

@DataGreed you could use this: https://github.com/haad/proxychains
More specifically: https://github.com/haad/proxychains?tab=readme-ov-file#some-cool-features

@aviallon I tried to use proxychains, but nothing works. Looks like RustScan does not support proxy in any form

Ah, proxychains is usually guaranteed to work, as it hooks the stdlib.
Are you sure it does not work?

Last possibility : use a transparent proxy on the whole system.

@aviallon yes, I'm sure. I was monitoring the traffic via wireshark.

What is a transparent proxy on the whole system? Do you mean the HTTP_PROXY variable?

No, it's not.

You can do one with nftables and socks5.
