For advanced users, tools like Surge (a powerful networking toolkit) or Clash Verge (a GUI for the Clash core) are popular on macOS.
If you are a Mac user looking for functionality similar to SocksEscort, consider the following options:
Assuming a typical macOS environment (macOS 12+), follow these steps:

It seems you’re asking for a paper (an academic or technical document) about SocksEscort for Mac. socksescort for mac
However, SocksEscort is not a standard, publicly documented open-source tool or academic project with published papers. The name is likely a typo or a very obscure/niche utility — possibly a SOCKS proxy client/tool or a misremembered name of software like SocksiPy, Shadowsocks, Proxifier, SocksCap, or Escort (an old Mac proxy tool).

Note: "SocksEscort" appears to be a misspelling or a rare variation of software related to proxy management (SOCKS5 proxies) or privacy tools (possibly confusing it with "SocksEscort" as a brand or a typo of "SOCKS Proxy Escort").

Open Terminal and run:
curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:1080 https://api.ipify.org
If the IP matches your proxy server’s location, SocksEscort is working.
