Hello,
I've first sent this e-mail to help@rt.torproject.org and the answer was to send a copy of it to the "tor-dev mailing list". So that's what I do:
I just wanted to let you know that I've created a small new tool for Windows called InjectSOCKS that can force other Windows software to do TCP connections via SOCKS. This way software not supporting SOCKS can be used together with Tor. You don't need any additional HTTP proxy or other proxies. As an example it works for passive FTP, too. Additionally it handles the DNS requests of that other software in a way that while creating the SOCKS connection, Tor gets the textual address - so the exit node can resolve it (which is the way favored by the Tor developers). This way Tor hidden services work as well. And it works per Windows process, so it doesn't influence the whole operating system.
This is really great. I didn't look at the code but getting Windows support in torsocks would be awesome! Not sure yet how much work it would require but definitely having it would be amazing.
In case you're interested in my software, I've put it on sourceforge to make it open source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/injectsocks The tool is far from being perfect yet, but I think some of the ideas are interesting.
Do you think you can put your code into a git repository (github, gitourious, ...). That would be *very* helpful to review/contribute and track changes.
Thanks! David
By the way, I've also created DNS2SOCKS, which is already listed on Tor's Wiki: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dns2socks It seems like several people like it, so I hope that some people will also like InjectSOCKS.
