Proxy Hunter is a little utility I used to use to find anonymous proxies
(i.e. people that have set up WinProxy poorly). All it does is scan a range
of IP's and attempt to retrieve a web page.

Only the great man in the sky knows why this idiot is using port 21.

And dont worry about http://www.s3.com, it just happens to be the default
page that Proxy Hunter attempts to retrieve.
