| Feature | Works? | Explanation | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | TCP Connect scans ( scanner/portscan/tcp ) | ✅ Yes | Pure TCP handshake. | | Most TCP exploits (e.g., SMB, SSH, FTP) | ✅ Yes | As long as payload is TCP-based. | | Meterpreter reverse_tcp | ⚠️ Tricky | Callback must also go through proxy chain. Use bind_tcp or reverse_https with proxy-aware stagers. | | UDP-based exploits (SNMP, DNS) | ❌ No | ProxyChains only hooks TCP. | | SYN stealth scans | ❌ No | Requires raw sockets. | | Nmap -sS or -sU via proxychains | ❌ No | Use -sT or switch to Metasploit's portscan. | | db_nmap inside msf | ❌ No | Nmap launched from msf ignores the proxychains wrapper. | metasploit with proxychains
