ProxyCheck

Proxycheck is a proxy testing script that aims to provide comprehensive information about SOCKS proxies. It uses threading to efficiently test multiple proxies simultaneously and includes support for geolocation using GeoIP, checking anonymity levels, and verifying specific features of the proxies.

Features

• Multithreaded Testing: Utilizes multithreading to test proxies concurrently for improved efficiency.
• Anonymity Check: Determines the anonymity level of the proxy by making requests to https://httpbin.org/headers.
• Support Checks: Optionally checks if the proxy supports cookies, referer, and POST requests.
• GeoIP Integration: Uses GeoIP data to identify the country of the proxy.
• Output Files: Generates output files 'top_socks5.txt' and 'top_socks4.txt' with detailed results.
• Command-line Interface: Configurable through command-line arguments for flexibility.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Required Python packages: PySocks, geoip2, requests

Usage

Run Proxycheck from the command line:

python3 proxycheck.py proxies.txt

or with the desired options:

python3 proxycheck.py -t 4 -ms 500 -c US -s -ap -a Anonymous proxies.txt

• -a, --anonymity: Filter results by anonymity level (e.g., Transparent, Anonymous, Highly)
• proxy_file: Path to the proxy list file
• -v, --version: Display the version and exit
• -to, --timeout: Set the timeout for proxy connections in seconds (default: 10.0)

Output

Results are saved to 'top_socks5.txt' and 'top_socks4.txt' in the following format:

192.168.1.0:8192 - Country: Serbia, Speed: 7392.70 ms, Anonymity level: Highly, Cookies: False, Referer: True, POST: True

Configuration and Optimization

Changing the GeoIP Database URL

To change the GeoIP database download URL in the Proxycheck script, follow these steps:

1. Find a New GeoIP Database URL:

   • Look for a reliable source to download the GeoIP database in MMDB format. Ensure that the source supports direct downloads via a URL.

2. Replace the Current URL in the Script:

   • Open the proxycheck.py script in a text editor or development environment.

   • Locate the line containing the geoip_database_url variable:

     geoip_database_url = 'https://git.io/GeoLite2-City.mmdb'

   • Replace the current URL with the new URL you found:

     geoip_database_url = 'https://new-url/to/the/database.mmdb'

   Make sure the new URL points to the latest version of the GeoIP database you want to use.

3. Save the Changes:

   • Save the script after making the modifications.

4. Run the Script:

   • Execute the script to check if the new URL works correctly and if the GeoIP database is successfully downloaded.

   python3 proxycheck.py -t 4 -ms 500 -to 50 -c US -s -ap proxies.txt

Optimizing Proxy Discovery

The performance and effectiveness of proxy testing can be influenced by adjusting the sleep duration (-ms) and timeout (-to) parameters in the command-line options. Here's how you can experiment with these parameters to potentially discover more valid proxies:

1. Sleep Duration (-ms)

• The sleep duration represents the time (in milliseconds) that the script pauses between scans of different proxies. Adjusting this value can impact the rate at which proxies are tested.

• Suggestion: Experiment with different sleep durations to find an optimal balance. Smaller values (e.g., 100 ms) may lead to faster testing but could increase the chance of getting rate-limited or blocked by certain servers. Larger values (e.g., 1000 ms) provide more time between scans but may slow down the overall testing process.

  python3 proxycheck.py -t <num_threads> -ms <your_chosen_sleep_duration> ...

2. Timeout (-to)

• The timeout represents the maximum time (in seconds) that the script waits for a response from a proxy before considering it as invalid. Adjusting this value can impact the script's ability to detect valid proxies in different network conditions.

• Suggestion: If you're facing connectivity issues or the script marks proxies as invalid too quickly, consider increasing the timeout value. On the other hand, if the script takes too long to mark proxies as invalid, you may want to decrease the timeout.

  python3 proxycheck.py -t <num_threads> -to <your_chosen_timeout> ...

How It Works

Proxycheck is designed to efficiently test and validate SOCKS proxies. Here's a breakdown of how the script works:

1. Initialization

   • The script begins by initializing necessary components, including the version, command-line argument parser, and the GeoIP database.

2. GeoIP Database Download

   • The GeoIP database is downloaded using the provided URL. This database is crucial for determining the geolocation of each tested proxy.

3. Proxy List Loading and Verification

   • Proxies are loaded from the specified text file. The script ensures the uniqueness of proxies and counts the total number of valid proxies.

4. Threading for Concurrent Testing

   • The script utilizes threading to test multiple proxies simultaneously, improving the efficiency of the process.

5. Proxy Testing and Feature Checking

   • For each proxy, the script tests its validity and checks various features:
     • Connection speed using SOCKS5 and SOCKS4 protocols.
     • Geolocation using the GeoIP database.
     • Anonymity level (Transparent, Anonymous, Highly).
     • Optional support for cookies, referer, and POST requests.

6. Results Output

   • Results are categorized and stored in separate files for SOCKS5 and SOCKS4 proxies. The output includes information such as IP address, port, country, speed, and feature support.

7. Additional Information Output

   • Optionally, additional information is outputted to a text file if the -ap (all print) flag is used, providing more detailed information about each tested proxy.

8. Summary and Statistics

   • The script concludes by printing a summary, including the total number of valid SOCKS5 and SOCKS4 proxies found, the total number of proxies tested, and the total scan time.

9. Files Generated

   • Valid SOCKS5 proxies are stored in top_socks5.txt.
   • Valid SOCKS4 proxies are stored in top_socks4.txt.

Upcoming Features

1. Security Testing:

   • Implement security tests to detect potentially malicious proxies.

2. Improved Error Handling:

   • Add more detailed error messages to facilitate debugging.
   • Handle errors specific to different stages of the process.

3. Logging:

   • Integrate a logging system to record results, errors, and other useful information to a file.

4. Testing Other Proxy Protocols:

   • Extend the script to support other proxy protocols in addition to SOCKS, such as HTTP or HTTPS.

5. Advanced Filtering Options:

   • Add advanced filtering options, for example, based on latency, etc.

6. IPv6 Support:

   • Allow testing of IPv6 proxies in addition to the currently supported IPv4 proxies.

7. Result Export Options:

   • Add options to export results in different formats such as CSV, JSON, etc.

8. Advanced Network Performance Testing:

   • Add more advanced network performance tests to assess the quality of connections.
