Remote port forwarding with tcp2tor-proxy

We suppose that Victim2 does not have Internet access, so we cannot access Tor directly from it. However, we can use tcp2tor-proxy in order to use Victim1 as a Tor proxy for Victim2.
As shown in the following illustration, the attacker will publish a Hidden Service with a handler. With tcp2tor-proxy, Victim1 will serve a TCP port that routes the traffic directly to the Hidden Service. Then, Victim2 will send a simple reverse shell to Victim1 in order to reach the attacker handler.
Previously, the attacker needs to have a Hidden Service up and running with an associated onion address. Also, the attacker should run a netcat handler for the incoming connections.
As Victim1 is the host we will used as a pivot, we will run tcp2tor-proxy on it:
Now, the pivot is listening TCP traffic on port 60101 so that it will be routed to the Hidden Service the attacker owns.
As the traffic that reach tcp2tor-proxy will be routed to the Hidden Service, Victim2 only needs to send a simple reverse shell to the pivot:
After executing the above command, the attacker will receive the shell:
