What

WinHippoAutoProxy, but for Linux. This is a wrapper program to proxy a Second Life viewer through Hippolyzer, even if the viewer has no SOCKS5 support. Any viewer that supports the http_proxy env vars and uses the typical UDP networking functions should be wrappable.

Why

To help developers who don't want to write SOCKS 5 code to test their viewers or bots with Hippolyzer.

Where

https://github.com/SaladDais/LinHippoAutoProxy

How

It intercepts the relevant POSIX functions for sending and receiving UDP messages using LD_PRELOAD.

You can build it on Debian derivatives with:

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++
make

Then you can run the program you want to wrap like ./hippoautoproxy.sh ~/firestorm_dir/firestorm or ./hippoautoproxy.sh node some_bot.js or whatever.

If you have issues with HTTP connections, either:

Your HTTP library doesn't support the http_proxy environment variable and needs manual proxying
Your HTTP library doesn't trust the proxy's HTTPS cert. Disable SSL verification or trust the proxy's CA cert (it's in ~/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem)

?

I only implemented enough to get Hippolyzer working because neither tsocks nor proxychains-ng supported SOCKS 5 UDP. It probably won't work well for anything other than Hippolyzer without more work.
