it is over kill your right
but because i have a 20 meg connection
i can raise my threads very high for scanning
and lets be honest when it comes to public proxies
the most scraped public proxies u will get working is
anything from 1-3k tops..i did say scraped public proxies.
when we go to ip port scanned proxies that can vary
from 1-20k...
so im hoping your not test 42 million - im assuming your
saying you use them as a means to spot blocks of new
proxies worth port scanning
Looks like you have a good ISP when they do not care about proxy scanning. Mine suspended my connection once for that so I have no choice than use dedicated hosting.
I have nothing but datacenter blocks in the database. All those blocks are worth for scanning and yes im doing them all. I think I have been doing it for half year by now. Needless to say, those proxies I found are exlusive and not listed in google and are very unlikely to be listed on other proxy services.
I need those proxies occasionally for anonymous browsing and hence the proxies are datacenter proxies, often maxed download speeds. It's more like a hobby to me.
SELECT SUM(hosts),COUNT(cidr) FROM hostingproviders;
+------------+-------------+
| SUM(hosts) | COUNT(cidr) |
+------------+-------------+
| 42659690 | 3019 |
+------------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
SELECT * FROM hostingproviders WHERE abbr = "LU";
+------------------+-------+------+------------+-----------------------+

| 212.117.160.0/19 | 8190 | LU | LUXEMBOURG | xxx |
I simply define the ports or port ranges in to my tool config file and give it a list of CIDR's. It will generate lightning fast a list of proxies I want to scan. Finally I press once enter and I will trigger 4 instances of that tool and it will scan at 2,4M proxy per day (because one instance is cabable of testing/scanning 600k proxy a day).
The reason I pasted this info is simple, so u know im not bullshitting. I have the video as well to backup the above claim.
Best part of this, all the proxy goes to the database, so instantly whenever a new proxy has been found. It's available on my system. I would say this is quite professional. Usually when I do something, I do it as good I can or I don't do it all.
