class Net::SSH::Proxy::SOCKS4

An implementation of a SOCKS4 proxy. To use it, instantiate it, then pass the instantiated object via the :proxy key to Net::SSH.start:

require 'net/ssh/proxy/socks4'

proxy = Net::SSH::Proxy::SOCKS4.new('proxy.host', proxy_port, :user => 'user')
Net::SSH.start('host', 'user', :proxy => proxy) do |ssh|
  ...
end

Constants

CONNECT: The packet type for connection requests
GRANTED: The status code for a successful connection
VERSION: The SOCKS protocol version used by this class

Attributes

options[R]

The additional options that were given to the proxy's constructor.

proxy_host[R]

The proxy's host name or IP address, as given to the constructor.

proxy_port[R]

The proxy's port number.

Public Class Methods

new(proxy_host, proxy_port=1080, options={}) click to toggle source

Create a new proxy connection to the given proxy host and port. Optionally, a :user key may be given to identify the username with which to authenticate.

# File lib/net/ssh/proxy/socks4.rb, line 41
def initialize(proxy_host, proxy_port=1080, options={})
  @proxy_host = proxy_host
  @proxy_port = proxy_port
  @options = options
end

Public Instance Methods

open(host, port, connection_options) click to toggle source

Return a new socket connected to the given host and port via the proxy that was requested when the socket factory was instantiated.

# File lib/net/ssh/proxy/socks4.rb, line 49
def open(host, port, connection_options)
  socket = Socket.tcp(proxy_host, proxy_port, nil, nil,
                      connect_timeout: connection_options[:timeout])
  ip_addr = IPAddr.new(Resolv.getaddress(host))
  
  packet = [VERSION, CONNECT, port.to_i, ip_addr.to_i, options[:user]].pack("CCnNZ*")
  socket.send packet, 0

  version, status, port, ip = socket.recv(8).unpack("CCnN")
  if status != GRANTED
    socket.close
    raise ConnectError, "error connecting to proxy (#{status})"
  end

  return socket
