Finding http proxies through random IP range scanning. Possible?

ThreadKiller · Oct 27, 2012

I remember in my old mailing days I would tell my proxy scanning software to search some Korean or US dynamic IP range for mailing proxies, then go to sleep. When I woke up I would have a couple to choose from.

I need proxies to surf anonymously, but I do not want the leeched proxies that most proxy software picks up. Those proxies are too overused and go down all the time.

The tool I would use is probably Charon. The IP ranges I would scan would probably be US dynamic ADSL ranges. Would you guys in the know say that this is a feasible method? Would I be able to find "unknown" http proxies this way?

you will probably find some infected computers which have open proxies

I would not scan randomly, there is an easy way to get IP-ranges which allow you to target your scans. I don't send bulk emails but I came across to various ranges that provide you mailing proxies.

To find a reasonably amount of 'unknown' proxies, you need a heavier solution. I am specialized to proxy scanning. I've sent you a PM because I can offer you a solution you're looking for.

PS. Don't waste your time by scanning dynamic IP-ranges for those proxies you need.

Definitely first go find a list of dangerous IP ranges.

Keep that list up-to-date.

then do some research on world wide isp's
then probe there ip blocks
