proxycheck is a simple tool that will work on a reasonable *nix system
|
||
|
|
and may be used to quickly check whenever a given host or set of hosts
|
||
|
|
has open proxy server running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open proxies of various kinds are (ab)used nowadays for various evil
|
||
|
|
things like sending mass spam, hacking into your machine, making denial
|
||
|
|
of service attacks (DoS) and the like. Every such machine should be
|
||
|
|
either secured properly or turned off permanently, but that's not an
|
||
|
|
option, since in most cases there is either no administrator of such
|
||
|
|
machines exists at all, or he has no clue about what's on that machine,
|
||
|
|
or it's irrelevant for him.
