RE: Tool to find hidden web proxy server

[Christopher Adickes <christopher_adickes () SHI com>]

How many machines do you have on your network?  Would it be manageable to do
a port scan of your hosts and look for suspicious or non-standard ports.
This would only work on a small number of machines because sifting through
the port scan data might be a pain.  

Good luck tracking this sneaky person down!

Unless:

1. The proxy traffic is using trivial encryption, like https, ssh,
openvpn, socks/ssl, etc.  Then all you will sniff is gibberish.

2. The proxy traffic is going around your firewall using POTS, Cell
Phone, CPDP, Wi-Fi, etc.
