== Time/Location ==

Meeting:
* Time: 2025-02-26 19:00:00
* Location: McBryde 224
* Subject: Leveraging Botnet-as-a-Service "Free VPN" services to harvest working SOCKS & HTTP proxies
* Presenter: rsk

== Plan/Description ==

It's an open secret that most shady "Free VPN" services are actually using reselling your live connection as a residential proxy. But what can we gain from this?

As it turns out, apart from backdooring you, they do actually provide users with valid SOCKS5/HTTP proxies -- rsk will demonstrate using wireshark & other request monitoring tools to sniff their proxy-fetching handshake and make off with free working proxy lists.
