OSX default curl binary is not being torified when using torify or torsocks. Using: curl --proxy socks5h://curl:curl@127.0.0.1:9050/ works fine, however, running torify/torsocks curl <url> does not work.

Example:

$ torify curl ifconfig.co/all.json # returns original IP $ curl --proxy socks5h://curl:curl@127.0.0.1:9050/ ifconfig.co/all.json # returns the expected output $ torify curl https://check.torproject.org/ | grep -i congratulations # returns nothing

Torify does work on the Homebrew's curl version with the torify command, but it does not work when running a torify --shell (nor does the default OSX's curl):

{{{ $ torify --shell /usr/local/bin/torsocks: New torified shell coming right up... $ /usr/local/opt/curl/bin/curl ifconfig.co/all.json # returns my real IP $ /usr/bin/curl ifconfig.co/all.json # returns my real IP $ wget ifconfig.co/all.json # returns my real IP too (using homebrew's wget version 1.17.1) }}}

OSX default curl:

$ curl --version
curl 7.43.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.0) libcurl/7.43.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile GSS-API Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz UnixSockets

Homebrew's curl version:

$ /usr/local/opt/curl/bin/curl --version
curl 7.46.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0) libcurl/7.46.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz UnixSockets

Apple makes this difficult to debug and find out why, due it's Security Integrity Protection (executables signed with restricted entitlements), so I copied OSX's default curl binary to /tmp, ran [1] then I was able to run btruss on the default curl, however I wasn't able run torify with btruss , since [1] didn't work, btruss output didn't have anything interesting as far as I know.

Attachments: with-torify.txt for the output of sudo torify dtruss ./curl ifconfig.co/all.json and no-torify.txt for sudo dtruss ./curl ifconfig.co/all.json

I am willing to help debug this if needed, but I would like some help to make this easier, since disabling OSX's System Integrity Protection is not a good idea, and apparently code-signing didn't work with me.
