Hi all,
does anyone know if there is a windows alternative to torsocks/tsocks?
We sketched down a draft to build up an anonymous web application framework that would allow to build TorHS exposed python webapps on a desktop computer.
The draft is available at https://piratenpad.de/p/AnonymousWebApplicationFramework (feel free to modify)
The idea is to deliver "GlobaLeaks.exe" (but possibly other software) including Tor, with a web-application framework that include all the functionalities to handle: - Tor Hidden Service exposure - Tor outbound communication
For Tor Outbound outbound connections, the idea is to wrap all the application (Python, Tornadoweb, scripts) under Torsocks/tsocks.
For Mac OS X / Linux it's easy, we can use torsocks/tsocks: TorSocks: http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/
But to make this "library preload" under windows we only found: Torcap: http://www.freehaven.net/~aphex/torcap/ Freecap: http://www.freecap.ru/eng/
Does anyone know if there's something else for win32 that can just run as a commandline tool to be included in a startup script, handling the DNS Query and TCP Connect torrifying them?

See also TorCap2: http://www.virtualventures.ca/~cat/ but I've never succeeded at getting a license statement out of the author.

There isn't a good answer to this question, I believe.
It might be good to look into what the various openvpn tools use. Or what the open source VM tools use to hook traffic. I haven't seen any versions of those that are broken out into a modular way though.
There's a recurring theme where some organization realizes there's no generic open source tool to wrap network syscalls in Windows, so they write one, but it takes way more effort than they anticipated, and by the time they're done they don't release it as open source, and instead try to commercialize it and fail. Goto step 1.
You could be the one to break the cycle. :)

Hi Catalin Patulea,
at some Tor related Project we would like to use TorCap2 as a part of an OpenSource Project whose concept is described at https://piratenpad.de/p/AnonymousWebApplicationFramework .
We downloaded the source code of TorCap2 http://www.virtualventures.ca/~cat/code/TorCap2-src.zip
It appear that the source code license it's not defined.
Can you confirm whether the TorCap2 is licensed under BSD, GPL or other opensource license?
In the source-code and in your home-page it's not defined.
We hope to ear news from you about which license apply to Torcap2, as it's a tool that can be really helpful if it can be integrated within other opensource project :-)
