37 ipcache
38 -------
39 Source code of a LRU IP cache model, which is used in both daemons (pxyscand
40 and pxyservd). It's not a library but more a template to instantiate directly
41 in each program. A quick check of the defines in ipcache_template.c will show
42 you why it's like that. pxyservd only uses it as a little "level 1" cache but
43 pxyscand make heavy usage of it to store last recently used proxy and non
44 proxy IPs. It's used in conjonction of libpeak in both programs to improve
45 memory allocation and time stuffs.
46
47 libopas
48 -------
49 The OPAS Library helps communications between pxyscand and pxyservd. It
50 implements the OPAS (binary) protocol as defined in libopas/draft-opas-1.txt.
51 It's based on a simple query/reply concept and is able to encapsulate user
52 defined messages, thus the transport channel can be used for several purposes.
53
54 pxyscand
55 --------
56 Our proxy scanner daemon. The only code in C++ here, I guess. It implements
57 an OPAS server to communicate with OPAS clients (like pxyservd). There is
58 a base class (PXScanModule) to overload when you write a new scan type, check
59 out the existing scan modules like PXMHttpProxy.cc, it's not hard to add new
60 type of scan!
61
62 pxyservd
63 --------
64 IRCU (Undernet ircd) service server daemon. Compatible with ircu2.10.10+,
65 it's an interface between the IRC network and pxyscand. It creates a server
66 which links to the network. It communicates with pxyscand to check the users
67 and glines the proxies. It has a logging system with a daily rotation that
68 your abuse team will enjoy. It uses Kevin L Mitchell dbprim library. This
69 library offers a very efficient (for CPU and memory) and convenient way to
70 work especially with linked lists, hash tables and sparse matrix, which are
71 used a lot in such a service.
72 Additionally, pxyservd creates a virtual client on the network, which acts
73 like an interface between coders/opers and the daemon. We can say it's an
74 oper service, however it's willingly limited to proxy related and statisticals
75 stuffs. If you want a complete IRCU services suite, try GNUWorld at
76 http://gnuworld.sf.net.
77
78 pxtarget
79 --------
80 pxtarget - A daemon answering to forwarded (from open proxies) queries and
81 replying with a sha256 hash. (based on a shared secret + a
82 timestamp).
83 pscheck - Command line tool to verify a pxtarget daemon is running
84 correctly.
