Overview
In parts IV and V of my TCPUtil articles I'm going to look at how to cloak the requests that are sent from our sockets script. Cloaking in this context means hiding your IP address from the server with which we wish to communicate.
To hide our IP address we use a proxy server, which accepts connections from ourselves and passes them on to another computer. The receiving computer logs the IP address of the proxy server rather than our IP address.
If you have not already read parts I - III of this set of articles please refer to these threads first before attempting the following:
Scripting Internet Connections Under Window$

Google 'exploit' - TCPUtil pt III
This is part one of a two part article on how to use the TCPUtil code to write a cloaked exploit scanner. This article, part IV, covers how to create the list of live anonising proxy-servers that we will use in part V.
You can see Part II of this two part tutorial here.
Proxy Servers
What Is a proxy server?
You can proxy a request via telnet or netcat. To do this we would use the following syntax:Quote:
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing (e.g. Web sites or FTP archives). The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you.
From: http://www.inetprivacy.com/a4proxy/a...-proxy-faq.htm
The <crlf>'s above are carrige return line feeds, or enter on your keyboard. Notice here that rather than GETting the root file, or just '/', from the webserver we GET the fully qualified URL including the host name. The proxy forwards our request and responds with the information return ed from the proxy.
An anonising proxy is a proxy server that does not pass on information about your IP. There is a list of anonising proxy servers on the multiproxy website at http://www.multiproxy.org/anon_list.htm. The code here only works with IP addresses so if you plan to rebuild the proxy list provided in the zip file then remember to select the top Domain as IP address only before copying the host list.
Finding Live Proxies.
Ok - so now you have your list of anonising proxies from multiproxy all you have to do is figure out which of them work. I couldn't be bothered to sit and try them each individually so I decided to write a script to check the eack proxy in the hosts file using TCPUtil and a new Ping control (both provided at the end of the article) to test if they were live. The source code for the ping control is zipped seperately at the end of this article.
The hosts file is in the following format:
Notice the ':' deliminator that splits the dotted quad IP address and the port address. Also notice that the last line MUST contain the '.' character to tell the script it has reached the end of the file.Code:{ProxyIP}:{ProxyPort}

.
Registration of the controls
You need to register the networkfunc.ocx and sbwinsock.ocx control provided in the zip file at the on of this post. To register the OCX component run the following command:
UsageQuote:
regsvr32 <path_to_OCX>\<component_name>.OCX
The output file specifid by the -o option selects where to save the list of live proxy servers.
The resultsCode:Usage: CheckHosts.vbs [--outputfile|-o]
[--Delay|-d] Page Time Out delay (in seconds) Default: 3 Seconds
[--Verbose|-v]
[--debug|-vv]
[--Help|/?]>
EXAMPLE: Checkhosts.vbs -o livehosts
The script creates a list of live proxy servers. The results (from my computer at least) were as follows:

This script uses the ping control to attempt a ping each proxy server in the hosts file. If the proxy responds to the ping the script will then proceed to attempt to retreive the HEAD information from google's home page. If the proxy returns the page correctly then the script adds the proxy and host to the output file specified with the -o switch.
