Hi, NANOGers.
] We now get to embark on another Five Year Plan to shut down
] open HTTP proxies.
Indeed. The number of open (and openly abused) proxies in my hacked
device database, just from this year, is 21255. That's just my own,
small view of the problem. Imagine the total number. :/ Watch out
for those TCP 1080, 3128, and 8080 flows.
Thanks,
Rob.
