| | Open proxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Because proxies are implicated in abuse, system administrators have developed a number of ways to refuse service to open proxies. | | | Because of the historically lax security on poorly managed, unpatched or poorly configured machines running various operating systems, it is possible for a user's machine to be running such servers without their knowledge by means of computer viruses designed for this purpose. | | | An open proxy is a proxy server which is accessible by any Internet user. |

| | An "open" or insecure proxy server will accept any requests from any computer (whether on the local area network it's supposed to be sharing the internet connection for or any computer on the internet) to share the internet connection. | | | A proxy server is a software program that enables multiple computers to share a single internet connection. | | | The methods of configuring your proxy obviously vary based on the proxy software that you are using. |

| | When you use an open proxy server, your computer is making a direct connection to another computer. | | | A hacker can put a proxy server up on his, or a victim's computer and wait for a scanner to find it. | | | Companies and ISPs often use caching in proxy servers to reduce the load on their networks. |

| | Fighting Spammers With Honeypots: Part 1 |
| | An open relay (which is sometimes called an insecure relay or a third-party relay) is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) that accepts third-party relays of e-mail messages even though they are not destined for its domain. | | | Some of them share their information in public lists of proxies on the Internet (just use Google and search for things like "open proxies list"). | | | In comparison with Honeyd, it cannot simulate something else (Honeyd may be used to simulate anything you need); it cannot change its IP stack behavior, etc. Though it's a simpler tool, we'll quickly learn many things from spammers. |
