Line 16: ==Port scans== [[Port scanning]], and [[nmap]], ''may'' help to identify which ports are open on suspect IPs, however, even when it says that proxy ports are open it does not check to see if it is an open proxy using that port. It could be a closed proxy expecting authentication, or even a website. Open proxies cannot be properly confirmed by scanning, but only by using the proxy to fetch a page for you, in a similar way to that described above. Port scanning may have [[Port_scanning#Legal_implications\|legal implications]] in some jurisdictions. ==Exit servers==
