When dwProxyNum is 0, dynamic chain should behave like strict chain
(fall through to direct connect) rather than returning SOCKET_ERROR.

@copilot descraha los logs de compilacion https://[productionresultssa2.blob.core.windows.net/actions-results/153dee66-4c31-46dc-a1e6-4eb5b5a02293/workflow-job-run-e2326dd6-85c1-501d-ac6a-80f144b5699c...

I can't access the external Azure blob URL directly, but I've analyzed the code for all remaining build issues and fixed them in 618fbf8:

  1. Removed unused szHostA variable in hook_winhttp_win32.c (would cause warning C4101, potential error with /WX)
  2. Fixed ProxyOverride registry size in hookdll_main.c — replaced hardcoded 56 * sizeof(wchar_t) with sizeof(szOverride) which is automatically correct

These fixes are on top of the previous CI fixes (3feb48c): HINTERNETvoid*, #include <winsock2.h>, removed iLocalAddrLen.

The .NET proxy injection improvements from 0b3d370 are also still in place:

  • HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY/ALL_PROXY/NO_PROXY env vars for .NET HttpClient
  • IE proxy registry settings for .NET WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy
  • CLR injection retry (3x with progressive delay)

@copilot implementa mejoras en el sistema de logs, agrega logs con colores que indiquen el nivel dell log, los logs deben mostrar el url y endoint, los headers y el body del requests y params que el proxy capture, implementa una opción para guardar el tráfico de red en una estructura de carpetas y archivos, implementa la instalación y inyección de l certificado si es necesario (omitr sino es necesario para su funcionamiento)

…options

Logging improvements:
- Colored console output via SetConsoleTextAttribute: Red=Error/Critical,
  Yellow=Warning, Green=Info, Cyan=Debug, Gray=Verbose
- log_color config option (default: enabled)
- Detects log level tag [C/E/W/I/D/V] from formatted output and restores
  original console attributes after each line

Traffic dump (OPTIONAL - disabled by default):
- traffic_dump_dir config option saves connection metadata to local files
  AFTER each connection result — does NOT intercept or modify proxy traffic
- Date-organized directory structure: YYYY-MM-DD/HHMMSS_PID_socket.txt
- Each file contains: endpoint, timestamp, PID, socket, result, WSA error
- Safe to leave disabled; will not interfere with remote proxy

…onName calls

Lines 1016,1019 in args_and_config.c called OptionGetNumberValueAfterOptionName
with 3 args but the function requires 5 (plNum, pAfterOptionName, pEndOptional,
lRangeMin, lRangeMax). Added missing 0,1 range for boolean set_proxy_env and
log_color options, matching the pattern used by all other boolean config parsers.

Fixes error C2198: 'OptionGetNumberValueAfterOptionName': too few arguments

Downloaded and analyzed the CI build logs. Found 2 compile errors:

args_and_config.c(1016): error C2198: 'OptionGetNumberValueAfterOptionName': too few arguments
args_and_config.c(1019): error C2198: 'OptionGetNumberValueAfterOptionName': too few arguments

The set_proxy_env and log_color config option parsers were calling OptionGetNumberValueAfterOptionName with 3 arguments instead of the required 5 — missing the lRangeMin, lRangeMax parameters. Added 0, 1 range for both boolean options, matching all other boolean parsers in the file.

Fixed in e8ac4d7.

The traffic dump metadata uses wsprintfA() into a fixed 256-byte buffer with a long format string and a wide-string argument ("%ls", g_szRuleTargetDesc[dwTarget]). wsprintfA is unbounded and can overflow szMeta, and the wide-string formatting is not guaranteed to be correct in the ANSI wsprintf variant. Prefer a bounded formatting API (StringCchPrintfA / StringCchPrintfW) and explicit WideCharToMultiByte when writing UTF-8.

InternetSetOptionA hook mutates the caller’s INTERNET_PROXY_INFO_A buffer in-place and assigns lpszProxy to a stack buffer (szProxy). This leaves the caller with a dangling pointer after return. Prefer creating a local INTERNET_PROXY_INFO_A copy (and stable backing storage for strings) and calling the original with the copy, so the caller’s lpBuffer remains untouched.

SetProxyEnvironmentVariables() writes to HKCU...\Internet Settings (ProxyEnable/ProxyServer/ProxyOverride) but there is no restore path. This permanently changes the user’s system proxy settings after proxychains exits/crashes, which can break networking outside the proxified process and is a significant operational side effect. Consider making registry writes a separate explicit opt-in option and/or saving previous values and restoring them on UninitHook/DLL detach.

The new log_file configuration is parsed into dwHasLogFile/szLogFilePath, but these fields are not referenced anywhere else in the codebase (no writer/redirect in logging). As-is, this option is a no-op and could confuse users; either implement log redirection using these fields or remove the option/documentation until it’s supported.

BuildProxyStringW() formats the proxy as "socks5=host:port"/"socks4=host:port"/"http=host:port". WinHTTP/WinINet proxy strings use the scheme keys like "socks=..." (not socks4/socks5), and typically need protocol keys (e.g., "http=...;https=...") to apply consistently. As written, SOCKS proxies are likely ignored by WinHTTP/WinINet.

InternetSetOptionW hook mutates the caller’s INTERNET_PROXY_INFO_W buffer in-place and assigns lpszProxy to a stack buffer (szProxy). This can leave the caller with a dangling pointer after the API returns. Use a local copy of the struct (and stable string storage) when calling the original function, rather than overwriting the caller’s buffer.

ShouldInjectProcess() uses PathFindFileNameW() on lpCommandLine without isolating the executable token. For typical command lines (quoted path or with args), pExeName will include trailing quotes/arguments (e.g., "curl.exe" https://...") so the case-insensitive compare against "curl.exe" won’t match. Consider parsing the first argument properly (e.g., CommandLineToArgvW / PathGetArgsW+PathRemoveArgsW) and comparing only the basename.

In CreateProcessA, lpApplicationName/lpCommandLine are converted into fixed-size buffers of PXCH_MAX_HOSTNAME_BUFSIZE. Long paths/command lines will be truncated, which can cause incorrect process filter decisions (false allow/deny). It would be safer to size these buffers for command lines (or dynamically allocate based on MultiByteToWideChar’s required length).

DnsCacheInit() is not thread-safe: multiple threads can observe g_bDnsCacheInitialized==FALSE and concurrently call InitializeCriticalSection() / reset the cache, which is undefined behavior. Use a one-time init primitive (InitOnceExecuteOnce), InterlockedCompareExchange guard, or initialize the critical section at DLL init time to avoid races.

Socks5UdpAssociateDnsQuery() calls WSAStartup() on every DNS query but never calls WSACleanup(). This increases Winsock’s refcount and adds overhead per query. Consider initializing Winsock once for the process (or only if not already initialized) and balancing WSAStartup/WSACleanup, or reuse existing Winsock initialization already done elsewhere in the DLL.

… pointers, registry restore

Fixes from automated code review (PR #4 review 3809457914):

1. DnsCacheInit thread safety: Use InitOnceExecuteOnce instead of bare bool check
2. WSAStartup leak: Remove per-query WSAStartup (Winsock already init'd by DLL)
3. Traffic dump buffer overflow: Replace wsprintfA with StringCchPrintfW + WideCharToMultiByte
4. WinHTTP/WinINet scheme keys: socks5/socks4 -> socks= for WinHTTP compatibility
5. WinHttpSetOption dangling pointer: Use local WINHTTP_PROXY_INFO copy with static backing
6. InternetSetOptionA dangling pointer: Use local INTERNET_PROXY_INFO_A copy
7. InternetSetOptionW dangling pointer: Use local INTERNET_PROXY_INFO_W copy
8. Registry proxy side-effect: Gate behind PXCH_ENABLE_SYSTEM_PROXY=1 env var,
   save original values and restore on UninitHook/DLL detach
9. log_file config no-op: Return config error since feature is not implemented
10. ShouldInjectProcess: Properly parse quoted paths and strip trailing args
11. CreateProcessA buffer size: Dynamic HeapAlloc for ANSI->Wide conversion

…mpareExchange (XP), wcsncpy with wmemcpy

Two compile errors from CI:
1. hook_connect_win32.c: InitOnceExecuteOnce/INIT_ONCE require _WIN32_WINNT>=0x0600
   (Vista) but project targets 0x0502 (XP SP2). Replaced with InterlockedCompareExchange
   spin-lock pattern for thread-safe one-time DNS cache initialization.
2. hook_createprocess_win32.c: wcsncpy triggers error C4996 with /sdl (deprecated).
   Replaced with wmemcpy which is safe here since cchCopy is already bounds-checked
   and the buffer is explicitly null-terminated.

Downloaded and analyzed the CI build logs. Found 2 compile errors, fixed in 368b660:

  1. InitOnceExecuteOnce undefined (C4013)INIT_ONCE/InitOnceExecuteOnce require _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0600 (Vista+) but the project targets 0x0502 (XP SP2). Replaced with InterlockedCompareExchange spin-lock pattern for thread-safe one-time DNS cache initialization.

  2. wcsncpy deprecated (C4996) — The /sdl flag treats this as an error. Replaced with wmemcpy which is safe here since cchCopy is already bounds-checked and the buffer is explicitly null-terminated.

The test.cpp C4566 warnings are pre-existing (Unicode chars in codepage 1252) and unrelated to this PR.
