Create your own proxy

Ever want to create a proxy but don’t know how? Well here’s the code to one. Very simple proxy don’t expect too much here.

# tcp proxy
import sys
import socket
import threading


def hexdump(src, length=16):
    result = []
    digits = 4 if isinstance(src, unicode) else 2

    for i in xrange(0, len(src), length):
       s = src[i:i+length]
       hexa = b' '.join(["%0*X" % (digits, ord(x))  for x in s])
       text = b''.join([x if 0x20 <= ord(x) < 0x7F else b'.'  for x in s])
       result.append( b"%04X   %-*s   %s" % (i, length*(digits + 1), hexa, text) )

    print b'\n'.join(result)

	# target this may need to be adjusted
