Not true for HTTPS, unless your bot uses a shitty SSL library that's easy to trick or the proxy owner happens to have an illegitimate server cert (which is certainly possible, but unlikely for any given single proxy/cert combo). Unless you're talking about the software harvesting the proxy...

That way it looks like all traffic is coming from the client IP, not your server. Your bot might not be so effective if everyone's traffic comes from a single source. You could send your own proxy address for the server to connect to, but people might not be so happy about their proxies being...

What's the go with free software that has a pay-to-unlock-feature included? Is that against the rules, or not? Like 95+% of program functionality would be there, just one or two premium features (that would actually cost me money for people to use). Edit: Payment could be kept anonymous by...

Just thought of a neat way of doing things re: server side code, assuming you were creating a bot of some kind making HTTPS requests (a pretty common thing!), you could just have your bot client act as an SSL proxy in between your server and the target server, that way the client never knows...

I'm testing out the open source model for a project or two, even if I don't get a direct return in donations for the software I'm hoping of building up a nice portfolio where people can see how I progress through the work in a public manner and a bit of karma too. Only way I think you can really...

Have just discovered Trentemoller, very nice chilled out vibes, sounds beautiful in lossless 96khz 24-bit audio (each track is about 180 MB!)

Not entirely true, if you can get a good enough knowledge of the application you can inject your own replacement GUI pretty easily. Or you can strip out the tasty, useful algorithms and fixup the memory references and make yourself a DLL with the sections of compiled code. If the GUI content is...

Hey there blackhatters! Hope you all had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the new year! I'm looking to give back to the community here and earn some nice karma while showing off my programming skills, so I offer you a very useful piece of software to harvest proxies for FREE -...

Many of those attacks can be repurposed for other runtimes with reflection (Java, PHP, etc.), just the specifics are a little different. But even a native x86 app with a nasty (from a reverse engineers perspective) protector like Themida isn't immune to reverse engineering, it's just a case of...

Just talk over SSL to your signed server and wireshark's pretty useless unless you can find the clients private key from program memory, in which case you can decode only half the traffic. A pretty big headache for any potential reverse engineer.

Time is precious, and I couldn't post links yet when I responded to that.

Your error is due to structuring your code incorrectly, it could be solved by moving the Dim url_html As New Uri(lstUrlToPdf.SelectedItem) to just before the OpenURL(url_html) as the code modification you describe will not fix the problem that you need the url_html variable to be re-set in...

I too would say go from C#, if you ever decide in the future to expand your programming language portfolio you'll be able to pick up a lot of languages pretty quickly due to similarities to C#. .NET Framework also provides you with quite a lot of pre-made useful classes that are great for...

Actually the best way you can help people is to invest the money in some way that will increase everybody's overall wealth.

FASM is IMO by far the best assembler for x86/64, it's got my favourite assembly syntax (although i like OllyDbgs disassembly syntax better, probably because that's what I'm looking at more often than not). Great community, and there's some cool stuff written in it like Menuet OS!
