     1.4 +ProxyChains is a UNIX program, that hooks network-related libc functions
     1.5 +in DYNAMICALLY LINKED programs via a preloaded DLL (dlsym(), LD_PRELOAD)
     1.6 +and redirects the connections through SOCKS4a/5 or HTTP proxies.
     1.7 +It supports TCP only (no UDP/ICMP etc).
     1.8 +
     1.9 +The way it works is basically a HACK; so it is possible that it doesn't
    1.10 +work with your program, especially when it's a script, or starts
    1.11 +numerous processes like background daemons or uses dlopen() to load
    1.12 +"modules" (bug in glibc dynlinker).
    1.13 +It should work with simple compiled (C/C++) dynamically linked programs
    1.14 +though.
