Lamo, if you read this.. and i'm willing to bet that you do... good job bro; all these people complaining are all talk - they call you a 'script kiddie' when you've already showed you know what you're doing on numerous occasions...

yes it is true that anyone can use a scanner to see if a server has any opened proxies... the difference is, who knows what to do when they find one.

peace
