How To Scan For Your Own Non-Public Socks Servers
There are hundreds of
websites online where you can find free public proxy servers, But how
about getting your own from a Free and Unlimited Source of endless
non-public proxy servers?
You are going to use some tools to do so. and all are Free.
First, you will need an IP Scanner, my personal 2 Favorites is
SuperScan and Angry IP Scanner, in This tutorial we will use SuperScan
v4.0.
Download Links will be at the end of this article.
When you have successfully downloaded and Installed SuperScan, Open it
up then we will need to configure it’s scan setting, click “Port list
setup” and there you will define which ports you are going to scan for,
If you are searching for HTTP Proxy servers you should scan for those
Ports:
80, 8080, 3128, 6588
For Socks 4 and 5 Proxy servers use Port 1080.
All of those are common ports, However, there is more uncommon ports you have to find yourself for some proxies.
When you are done, Click Ok and save the port list.
Now for the rest of the main settings, I personally use those timeout values:
Ping: 500
Connect: 2000
Read: 4000
But those might be different depends on your internet connection and
your personal preference, so you might change those based on your own
needs.
In short, Timeout value is the time in milliseconds that the scanner
should wait before moving to the next IP address if no response
recieved.
Now to the Most Tricky and Hardest Part of this whole Process, The IP Range!
Its Vital to put a good IP address Range to scan for which has a high
possibility of Proxy Servers. a very good starting point is to find a
good working proxy somewhere online and use that for your own scanning.
For example, if you find a good HTTP or Socks proxy at the IP address
say 233.45.78.15 for example, use those 2 values in the scanner:
IP Range: 233.45.78.1 to 233.45.78.255
If you find few Proxies in the scan results save the list as a text file and move to the next Step:
There is an Excellent piece of software called “Charon” that is mainly
used as a Proxy Checker/Verifier among other valuable & powerful
capabilities.
Now we have to check all the ip addresses we got before in the scan
results, Open up Charon and load the ip address list we saved from
superscan.
The whole list will be loaded up in the main window, Final Step is to
click “Check Proxies”>”Check Anonymity of All Proxies” and sit back
and relax waiting until it finished.
Now you can search for your very own Proxy servers of all Types ( HTTP, Socks 4 & 5, SSL, Transparent..etc)
