Description:

The Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor is designed to connect to an IRC server
and become an IRC operator. It then watches connect notices in order
to scan all connecting clients for open (insecure) proxies. Such
insecure proxies are commonly used for spamming, floods and other
abusive activities.

BOPM can detect WinGates, HTTP proxies, SOCKS 4/5 proxies and Cisco
routers with default passwords. BOPM also has support for checking
against a DNS-Based Blacklist (similar to MAPS RBL) and can be
configured to report new proxies back to the Blitzed Open Proxy
Monitoring project.
