[Description]
PROXC is a lightweight cross-platform command-line Proxy Liveness Checker and Security Toolkit.

It validates HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies and supports bulk proxy lists, protocol auto-detection, configurable timeouts, concurrent workers, real-time streaming output, target URLs and working-proxy output.

The project is intended for legitimate network security testing, proxy validation and security assessment workflows.

[Dependencies]

The project is actively maintained.

Current upstream release:
v1.0.6

[How to install]
The upstream repository contains Debian packaging in the debian/ directory.

The v1.0.6 Debian package was successfully built and tested on Kali Linux:

proxc_1.0.6-0kali1_all.deb

The package can be installed locally with:

sudo apt install ./proxc_1.0.6-0kali1_all.deb

After installation:

proxc --version

returns:

1.0.6

[How to use]

Display help:

proxc --help

Check a proxy list:

proxc proxies.txt

Check a single proxy:

proxc 1.2.3.4 8080

Check a SOCKS5 proxy:

proxc 1.2.3.4 1080 socks5

Check a proxy URL:

proxc socks5://user:[email protected]:1080

[Testing]

Debian packaging is included in the upstream repository under debian/.

The package has been successfully built and tested locally on Kali Linux as:

Request for PROXC Inclusion in the Official Kali Linux Repository

Hello Kali Linux Team,

I would like to kindly request your review and consideration for including PROXC (proxc) in the official Kali Linux repositories.

Project: PROXC – Smart Proxy Liveness Checker and Security Toolkit
Current version: v1.0.6
License: MIT
Upstream repository: https://github.com/Mithun202008/proxychk
Release: https://github.com/Mithun202008/proxychk/releases/tag/v1.0.6
Kali issue: 0009842

PROXC is a lightweight command-line tool designed for legitimate network security testing, proxy validation, and authorized security assessment workflows. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies, bulk proxy lists, protocol detection, configurable timeouts, concurrent workers, and real-time output.

The project includes Debian packaging under the debian/ directory and has been built and tested locally on Kali Linux.

For v1.0.6, the upstream test suite contains 7 tests, and all tests pass:

Ran 7 tests
OK

The Debian package was also successfully built and installed locally:

proxc_1.0.6-0kali1_all.deb

After installation, the package was verified with:

dpkg -s proxc
proxc --version
proxc --help

and PROXC reports version 1.0.6.

I understand that inclusion in the official Kali repositories is subject to the Kali team's packaging standards, review process, and acceptance criteria. I am happy to make any changes required to the Debian packaging, documentation, dependencies, or project structure.

Thank you for taking the time to review the project and for maintaining the Kali Linux ecosystem.

Best regards,
Mithun A
PROXC Maintainer
