RUSTYSOCKS5

A lightweight, dependency-free SOCKS5 proxy server written in Rust. Built exclusively using Rust's standard library, it runs on any platform and architecture supported by Rust.

Features

• SOCKS5 protocol implementation (RFC 1928)
• Zero external dependencies (pure Rust stdlib)
• Cross-platform support (Windows/Linux/macOS)
• Basic username/password authentication
• Simple to configure and deploy

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/pj1234678/RustySOCKS5.git
   cd rustysocks5

2. Build with Cargo:

   cargo build --release

Binary will be located at target/release/rustysocks5

Usage

Start the proxy server:

./rustysocks5

Default configuration:

• Listen address: 127.0.0.1:1080
• Authentication: enabled (see configuration below)

Client configuration examples:

curl --socks5 http://admin:password@127.0.0.1:1080 https://example.com

Configuration

Modify authentication credentials in source code (before compiling):

// src/main.rs (line XX-XX)
if username != b"admin" || password != b"password" {
    // Authentication logic
}

Security Considerations

⚠️ Important Security Notes:

• Default credentials are for demonstration purposes only
• Hardcoded credentials are not production-safe
• For real-world use:
  • Store credentials in environment variables
  • Use proper secret management
  • Consider implementing encryption
