Whenever you visit a website the site will log your IP and even can asses which operating system is running on your system.This can be dangerous when a Cracker( the Black Hat) has attacked that site and injected some exploits in it.Revealing your personal details to strangers can be hazardous especially to a Black hat...
So how can we cease ourselves from logged by the websites and hide our actual identity on WWW...?
One simple solution is using PROXIES .. Ok now, lets discuss about the proxies...
Proxies can be used to mask your identity while surfing in the WWW. Surfing from behind a proxy will hide your IP and will send the decoy IP to the website you visits. so the site admin will have no idea about the visitor and no sensitive information is passed to the sites.Thus you can hide your identity.
Many sites allow us to use their proxy service. I will some good proxies which you can try on your own
For setting up sockschain refer this
You can also try other similar softwares like:
Wingate (windows)
Winproxy( windows)
Squid (Linux)
multiproxy (firefox addon)
TIPS :
These proxy sites can be used to unblock many sites that has been blocked in your school, college or workplace
These proxies will aid a hacker to break in to a system by hiding his identity.
A Chain of Proxies is a "created" group of proxies that change at intervals or at will. The proxies are used by some of the biggest hackers becuase have 1 - 10 proxies is more secure than have 1.
