There are a lot of people around the world, some are good, and some are evil. The bad, hack either for money, stealing or just for fun. They like to create havoc in the cyber world or spread malware. The good also could do hacking for money, but in the right way, such as taking part in a bug bounty program, help others to backup lost data, or learn what vulnerabilities exist to educate administrators, etc.  What i mean by hacker here is not solely limited to whom are able to break into restricted access. They are an IT expert who has the capability to manage the company’s property security.

people want to be anonymous and hard to be detected while doing their work. Tools can be used in order to hide the persons identity from being exposed. VPN (Virtual Private Network), Proxy servers and RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) are some of the tools to guard their identity.
In order to do penetration testing anonymously and decrease the possibility of identity detection, aperson need to use an intermediary machine whose IP address will be left on the target system. This can be done by using a proxy.  A proxy or proxy server is a dedicated computer or software system running on a computer which acts as an intermediary between an end device, such as a computer and another server which a client is requesting any services from. By connecting to the Internet through proxies, the client IP address will not be shown but rather the IP of the proxy server. it can provide a client with more privacy then if simply connecting directly to the Internet.

In this article, i will discuss about a built-in anonymity service in Kali Linux and or others penetration testing based systems, it is proxy chains.
