What is SOCKS 4/5 ?

SOCKS is the internet protocol that makes  it easier for packets to be  routed between the client/server via a  proxy server. The SOCKS protocol  has a designated port, but is not  limited to that port. This port number  is 1080.

 

 Socks will let you get by the network firewall, usually with schools or   workplaces, they will have a block on the browsing you are allowed to   do.

What is HTTP Proxy ?

A HTTP ( Hypertext Transfer Protocol )  proxy is kind of the same thing  as a SOCKS 5, except the fact it using  the HTTP protocol instead of the  SOCKS protocol. When a browser is  configured with a HTTP proxy, it just  hooks through the proxy server  and bypasses any firewall put in place on  the LAN ( Local Area Network )

SSH is the acronym for Secure Shell, it is  an network protocol used to  connect to Linux&Unix based machines.  This will let you access the  shell (Terminal) via a remote connection  to the machine/server. The  default port for SSH connection is 22.

SSH tunneling  is using the SSH protocol to hook through the  machine/server as you  send a command through your internet, say loading  Google, your machine  will send the data through the "SSH Tunnel" and  your IP will be hidden  from the website. As your data is going through  the "tunnel" it is  encrypted using a Public-Key encryption.

What is MAC Address and MAC Address Spoofing ?

MAC address is the acronym for Media  Access Control address it's the  unique identifier for a network  interface. The Hardware Address of your Machine

 

 MAC address spoofing is using a program (You can do it manually but   program is much easier.) to change your MAC address so it doesn't leave   behind your networks "fingerprint." Without doing this, you will never   be FULLY anonymous.

SMAC

NMAP

–spoof-mac is the command you use to spoof your MAC with NMAP.
