INSPECTSOCKS(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so inspectsocks — it's the little cutie you run when you need to figure out what protocol level a SOCKS server is on. that's it, that's the whole job. she's a detective 🔍✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

inspectsocks server [port]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, listen. you ever roll up to a SOCKS server and it's giving mystery? inspectsocks is literally here to tell you which SOCKS version that server supports. no cap.

so here's the vibe: you hand it the ip address/hostname of the SOCKS server as an argument, and optionally the port number for socks. then it goes and inspects that server to attempt to determine the version that server supports. like, it's trying its best, and its best is usually pretty good 🫶

ngl, notice the word "attempt" — this is a determination attempt, not a legally binding promise, okay? she inspects, she reports. 💀

🌸 Example 🌸

"inspectsocks  socks.nec.com  1080" -- attempts to determine the version
that the server supports

so yeah, that one right there hits up socks.nec.com on port 1080 and tries to clock which version it's serving. iconic. 💅
