Description:
SocksCap is an application wrapper developed by NEC. SocksCap allows Windows 95/98/NT users to enable their Winsock applications to traverse a SOCKS server. SocksCap does not require modifications to the Winsock applications or the Winsock stacks. On a SOCKS enabled firewall SocksCap offers a client-only solution.
How Does SocksCap Work?
* SocksCap is a Microsoft Windows DLL that extends the functionality of the Windows Socket (Winsock) stack,
allowing it to work successfully in the SOCKS5 environment. SocksCap intercepts calls from Winsock
applications to the Windows Socket (Winsock) stack and converts them to calls that support SOCKS
protocols.
* SocksCap resides between non-SOCKSified Winsock applications and a non-SOCKSified Winsock stack. It
converts socket calls to communicate through a SOCKS V4 or SOCKSv5 server. You can configure
SocksCap
to connect directly (not through the SOCKS server) to some addresses and to use proxy connections
(through the SOCKS server) to all others.
Who Can Use SocksCap
* Users behind corporate proxy firewalls that are SOCKS-capable.
* Users running SOCKS servers or SOCKS daemons that serve as firewalls.
