NAME
sss.pl - Simple SOCKS5 Server for Perl
DESCRIPTION
SSS is a Simple SOCKS Server written in perl that implements the SOCKS v5 protocol.
It will accept username/password authentication.
The script runs in the background as a daemon.
HISTORY
Originally I was looking for a simple SOCKS5 Server (with user/pass auth) that would run as a non-root user on FreeBSD.
I checked the FreeBSD ports for various SOCKS5 solutions and tried them all, only to discover that each one had a reason why it would not work, or why I could not use it.
I figured this could be done in perl, but found that there was no well maintained perl based solutions.
I hacked together this solution (with help from public domain scripts) and cleaned it up, ready for release.
Its simple, a feature I intend to maintain, however there is scope for much more potential, especially with user feedback.

INSTALL
wget http://ssspl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ssspl/sss.pl chmod 755 sss.pl
OR
http://ssspl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ssspl.tar.gz?view=tar tar zxvf ssspl.tar.gz chmod 755 ssspl/sss.pl
USAGE
You run the script using the following command:
./sss.pl [auth_login(:auth_pass)] Note: the auth_pass must be an md5 (hex) hash eg:
./sss.pl hostname.example.com 34567 test:ae2b1fca515949e5d54fb22b8ed95575
Once up and running you can use the server in mIRC using the following command:
/firewall [-cmN[+|-]d] [on|off] For more information on this command issue:
/help /firewall in mIRC. eg: /firewall -m5 on hostname.example.com 34567 test testing

Operating System: Tested on FreeBSD 6.x and CentOS 4.x, should work on others.
Required modules: IO::Socket::INET, Digest::MD5.
