Using Tor from command Line ....

This is how to use tor from command line ..

First start with a install

I use debian

sudo apt install tor

Add the following to file :

sudo vi /etc/tor/torrc

ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 0

Restart tor

sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart

How to use

You will need curl and geoiplookup, shodan api and  to be installed and configured

First check you current IP

shodan myip

210.174.**.****

whois 210.174.**.****

Less Specific Info.
----------
Sony Network Communications Inc.
                     [Allocation]                               210.174.0.0/18

 geoiplookup 210.174.**.****
                    GeoIP Country Edition: JP, Japan

This is your global IP .... Always change this and use vpn .... or openvpn...

Now run the following:

torify curl ifconfig.me 2>/dev/null

185.86.***.****

Then

echo -e 'AUTHENTICATE ""\r\nsignal NEWNYM\r\nQUIT' | nc 127.0.0.1 9051
250 OK
250 OK
250 closing connection


As you can see the tor socket is up. Lets test

torify shodan myip
