[squid-users] want to change squid name

[--Ahmad--]

Hey Folks
my question may be crazy a little bit .

i want to change everything in squid config files and rename it to ahmad.

so i want change eveverythingeytng in folders , files from squid to —> stinger and have stinger conf files and run instance as stinger instead of squid .

so i changed recursively everything and replace squid with “stinger”



here what i made :

find /root/squid-3.5.22 -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/squid/stinger/g' {} \;
find /root/squid-3.5.22 -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/Squid/Stinger/g' {} \;
find /root/squid-3.5.22 -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/SQUID/STINGER/g' {} \;

find . -iname "*squid*" -exec rename squid stinger '{}' \;
find . -iname "*squid*" -exec rename squid stinger '{}' \;
find . -iname "*squid*" -exec rename Squid Stinger '{}' \;

Generally useful Squid code modifications should be discussed on the
squid-dev mailing list, not squid-users. The modification you are
describing is not generally useful so it is probably out of Squid
Project support scope.

However, if you formulate the actual problem you are trying to solve,
then somebody on this mailing list may know a solution that does not
include blind (and, in some cases, illegal) changes of Squid sources.

What are you trying to accomplish? In other words, what problem do you
think replacing "squid" to "ahmad" in Squid sources would solve?

What problems does the word "Squid" create for you?

It's still not clear what you are trying to achieve by making such a change.

we just don't understand the reason you are asking for this.

As was already mentioned (iirc), technically you can change the name
"squid" to something else, but it is not supported (which means, there's no
standard way to do that) and you may expect problems (and we even don't know
what kind of problems).

Hi Ahmad,

I still don't understand properly. Do you want to run Squid as your own
nonprivileged user, "ahmad" or "stinger", instead of the "squid" or
"webproxy" user that is the usual in distros? That is easy, but trying
to sed squid to <something else> in the codebase is likely to fail,
imagine trying to do that with the Linux kernel!

If that is the case, just set the user and group in the squid.conf and
make sure that said user/group has the right privileges to access the
various directories and files it needs. No problem at all, I've done it
myself.

There should be no need to edit all the source code and recompile for
this. Then for "hiding" your proxy use there are the other parameters in
squid.conf that remove HTTP headers (but by doing do, be aware it's an
RFC violation and hiding that your clients are behind a proxy can cause
lots of issues, no. 1 being that Google will keep telling you that
you're launching a DoS attack). It may also have legal implications in
some countries, especially if you're forwarding for devices/clients not
owned by you or your organisation.

I'm just curious as to why you have so little detail of what you need in
this request when other posts you have made have supplied much more
detail, logs, etc.

I'm sorry if this is all down to a language barrier and English is not
your first language.  I've posted to German mailing lists when I only
did 2 years of it at school and it's really hard!

I hope this helps you,

Best regards

Alex

Lets be blunt then ...

Most of the things I see you asking about are ways to make the Squid
software unidentifiable as being Squid.

Your earlier queries could be mistaken attempts to use Squid as an
"anonymous proxy" for evading local legal issues.


This request though is to obfuscate details right down to names of ABI
symbols used when building Squid. Details which are only visible to the
person or people compiling Squid, not even people looking at binary code
of the built binaries ever see those names.


The obvious conclusion one is led to by the extreme nature of that
changing and the details you provided so far - is that you likely intend
to take the Squid code and present it as some proprietary software of
your own making. In direct violation of the GPL copyright and great
disrespect for the many hundreds of contributors whose work has built
Squid over the past 40 years.

Yet you are expecting our community of people who use and care about
Squid to assist your doing such an action.


Neither that nor other less likely scenarios I can think give me any
confidence that this is a reasonable way to spend my time. So no, I will
not be helping you with this.
