Requires 'root' on *nix systems (patch supplied) #9

Closed TheKat closed 8 years ago

TheKat commented 8 years ago

Because PADHerder Proxy needs to bind to ports TCP 443 and UDP 53 it requires root on *nix based systems.

I'm attaching a patch that allows for PADHerder Proxy users to bind them to other ports so python/padherder_proxy.py does not need to be run as root. This is a security enhancement, as well as stops PADHerder Proxy from creating root-owned files.

The included help includes examples for simple commands to deal with the ports moving.

Also included a few fixes for error cases I ran into dealing with some unhandled exceptions from libmproxy and dnslib.

Tested on Windows 10 and Linux.

Include if you like :)
