Bouncing with proxy servers. You probably already know that you can bounce through a proxy using the GET command i.e. (GET http://neworder.box.sk). This will only work for viewing web pages though. In this tutorial we will touch on how to bounce to any port on any computer (as long as the method is setup on the proxy server :). First off we will start by opening up telnet so Windows users click start then go to run and type "telnet bouncethroughthisproxy.com 80" (note the above won't work :). Linux users open up the kernel and use the same command. Once you are connected type "GET http://neworder.box.sk" (press enter twice after typing the command). After a slight pause you should see the neworder website flash by the screen. It will obviously be the HTML code since you aren't using a web browser. Okay that works fine, but how do we bounce to a different port while maintaining a connection? In this example we will bounce to port 25 (main protocol) on a server. Open up telnet to the proxy server. Now that you are connected type "CONNECT mailserver:25" (enter enter) (Note this won't work on all proxy servers you try it on. For instance the admin may have removed it from the proxy servers command list.) If the connection goes through you should see something like this. HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established Proxy-agent: CacheFlow-Proxy/1.0 220 mailserver.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.0/8.11.0; Wed, 25 Sep 2002 11:25:17 - 0700 Now you can start sending the fake email, or connect to other servers using the proxy. Finding open proxy servers. You can find a list of proxy servers on the web. Just go to a site like http://www.findproxy.com/index.html. (Note there is a list of sites that have a list of proxy servers on the neworder.box.sk website.) Once you get a list you can write your own program to check each proxy in a list to see if this method will work on them. You could also download a proxy program to check servers in a list for you.
