Wanna Read a stupid question ?

[479]

Hello everyone!

Here I'm again with some stupid questions!  I do consider!

Why do people Use Proxies and Socks for cracking Accounts!

And what is the difference between socks4/5 and Http/https proxies/socks

What is the diff between socks4/5 and Proxies ? are they the same ??

Thanks guys for some some info and Merry Xmas to everyone here!

i think they are the same! I don't know really

The why is a given: Ban and safety reasons

This is the best explanation I found when I was researching the same long ago;

A SOCKS server is a general purpose proxy server that establishes a TCP connection to another server on behalf of a client, then routes all the traffic back and forth between the client and the server. It works for any kind of network protocol on any port. SOCKS Version 5 adds additional support for security and UDP. The SOCKS server does not interpret the network traffic between client and server in any way, and is often used because clients are behind a firewall and are not permitted to establish TCP connections to servers outside the firewall unless they do it through the SOCKS server. Most web browsers for example can be configured to talk to a web server via a SOCKS server. Because the client must first make a connection to the SOCKS server and tell it the host it wants to connect to, the client must be "SOCKS enabled." On Windows, it is possible to "shim" the TCP stack so that all client software is SOCKS enabled.

An HTTP proxy is similar, and may be used for the same purpose when clients are behind a firewall and are prevented from making outgoing TCP connections to servers outside the firewall. However, unlike the SOCKS server, an HTTP proxy does understand and interpret the network traffic that passes between the client and downstream server, namely the HTTP protocol. Because of this the HTTP proxy can ONLY be used to handle HTTP traffic, but it can be very smart about how it does it. In particular, it can recognize often repeated requests and cache the replies to improve performance. Many ISPs use HTTP proxies regardless of how the browser is configured because they simply route all traffic on port 80 through the proxy server.

Thank you very much for this amazing info! one more question if you know!  why do people use them for cracking ? what reason? why just don't they use vpn or their ip address . ?

Hypothetically,

The server would likely ban your IP from making new login attempts. As an example lets say as a security measure a logon server will ban your IP if you make 10 wrong attempts in under 5 minutes, lets also say the admin of this server set the ban time limit for 30 minutes before allowing you to make a new attempt. If you had a list of 5000 proxy IPs that would give you up to 50,000 attempts. By the time you used all of those attempts, it would have exhausted that 30 min ban window and said server would allow you to make new attempts.

You know,

That's a Smash Down answer :fuck: ! you know! Thank you very much! I apreciate your feedback! I do understand the game now! Merry Xmass
