Free hosting proxy software for linux

Whois Proxy provides a CGI or command line whois proxy tool.

Whois Proxy is a Perl whois tool for looking up the owners, technical contacts, abuse desk, IP address, NIC handle, or ASN of any domain on the internet.

A complete rewrite of the GeekTools whois proxy, it also runs either as a Web application or on the command line but has a few more features.

The Web interface is validated strict XHTML and CSS2.

Hosting Backup provides a set of scripts for backing up your hosted Web sites.
Hosting Backup is a set if PHP command line scripts that provides an easy way to backup hosted Web sites to your local computer. It works with sites hosted on Linux servers with MySQL databases using FTP.
HostingBackup uses lftp (http://lftp.yar.ru/) to download all the files from your remote server.
HostingBackup uses rc4 encryption, so you do not need to have PHP compiled with mcrypt.
HostingBackup is tested on Linux local computer with PHP 4.3.x and lftp 3.0.x.
The remote component will manage some operations like optimization and dump of MySQL databases.
The local component will manage the execution of backups and other utilities like the generation of crypted passwords and the automatic installation of the remote component.
To allow an easy way to backup all hosted MySQL databases we store the main password for the account directly on the remote server, crypted with rc4.
When we call the dump script we pass the decrypt key.
To catch the login data an hacker should read the crypted password written on the server and intercept the key on the net.
Enhancements:
- Add: "--comments=false" to mysqldump
- Add: "set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;" to mysqldump
- Add: "--add-drop-table" to mysqldump

BlockStop Proxy is a Firefox extension that allows you to view the current page or link using.

Adds a "View this page with BlockStop" or "Open Link Target with BlockStop" option to your Firefox right-click menu, depending on where you click. The BlockStop Proxy extension automatically encodes the target url to maintain anonymity.

Mobile Web Proxy is a (CGI) tool to make more Web pages available from some mobile devices (cell phone Web browsers, etc.).
When I began using my cell phones mobile web browser, one of the things I realized was that there were a lot of web pages that my cell phones web browser simply wouldnt let me see. My shiny new Motorola Razr from T-Mobile, for many pages, would display an error message like "413: Page cannot be displayed." It happened annoyingly often; browsing the web from my cell phone was a lot like trying to read a book or a magazine with large chunks simply ripped out. And when I tried troubleshooting, I might have missed something, but it seemed like a big problem without an easily available solution.
So I tried to provide my own solution. I made a proxy that would present webpages for the mobile web so that they would display in a way that would work for my cell phones web browser. Technologies include paging, tag cleaning, and optional caching to improve performance, but without getting into technical details, this means that I can access some pages on the web that I couldnt access earlier.
Enhancements:
- A bug that caused the script to spuriously report 404 errors was fixed.
- A smaller default page size was set so that tag-rich pages would be rendered in a way more likely to be displayable on mobile Web browsers.

RtspProxy is a proxy server for multimedia streaming services based on the RTSP protocol.
The current version is a complete rewrite from scratch in Java of previous versions based on C++. The goal is to build a robust and scalable system usable in production environment.
The proxy is based on an asynchronous network framework, Apache MINA , which is built on Java NIO. This framework does permit to RtspProxy to handle high loads and concurrent users.
RTSP Caching Proxy is a proxy server that works with the RTSP protocol in multimedia streaming reproduction. RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is an emerging protocol for "session initiation" scopes, its purpose is to establish the conditions of an audio-video streaming session. The streaming data is then sent over other channels using other protocol such as RTP (Real Time Protocol).
Using a RTSP proxy does permits to access multimedia content without the need of being directly connected to the internet, for example being behind a corporate firewall.
Enhancements:
- A preliminary implementation of the IP address and host name filter was added.
- The Windows startup script was fixed.
- Session data is properly cleared when a session is closed.
- Only a UDP port pair is used for all RTP/RTCP packet handling and sending for all the connected clients.

Wake On LAN proxy allows machines behind a gateway/firewall to be woken up. You have a constant connection to the Internet, but you are away from base. All machines except the gateway are powered off while you are away. Remotely you decide you want to access one of your machines. You need to power it up first. For machines with suitable NICs there is the Wake On LAN mechanism. But this doesnt work over the Internet because you would have to route a packet to your internal network. The firewall stops you from doing that, for good reasons. Even if you were able to route a packet, you wouldnt want this information to travel in the clear, otherwise other people who intercept your packets could learn how to turn on your machines remotely too. So you need some kind of authentication and privacy.

Enter Wake On LAN proxy. This runs on your gateway, or on some other machine on the network thats always on, and can be reached from the Internet by port forwarding. You can send a command to it to wake a particular machine and it broadcasts a suitable packet on the internal network.

In an effort to be able to play Halo 2 with some out of state friends, I wrote an xbox system link proxy that would essentially bridge only xbox network traffic across across layer 3 networks using UDP.

Written in C and uses libpcap and libnet. A later update added multicast support so Apples Rendezvous (mdns) protocol could span subnets and networks.

xboxproxy project a very simple program that simple takes certain packets and forwards them to other known xbox proxies.

The xbox system link bridge will let you essentially bridge the broadcast and multicast traffic across multiple networks using these proxy bridge-points.

The xbox system link uses ethernet addresses (Layer 2) to indicate destination address and UDP (Layer 4) to send data. If you arent familiar with the OSI model, then the layer information wont help you here. Basically, the 3 layers we care about for this system link proxy are ethernet (layer 2) and udp (layer 4). Theres a special mention for the ip layer (layer 3) but that will be explained shortly.

System link packets come in two flavors: broadcast and unicast. In Halo 2, when you go to look for system link games, your xbox will send ethernet broadcast packets probing for available games.

Broadcast packets are received by every network device on your layer 2 segment, this usually means your subnet or immediate network. Other xbox systems who are hosting games will respond directly to your xbox using your xboxs ethernet address (MAC address) as the destination.

This process is called "discovery." After the discovery process completes and your xbox knows about other xboxes hosting games on the network, it begins direct communication to the known xboxes. When you try to join a game, your xbox sends packets directly to the other xbox you are connecting to. Direct communication continues until you quit the game.

A special note needs to be made, becuase you cant simple skip over layer 3 (the ip layer). We know now that addressed communication uses ethernet addresses, and we also know that the payloads are inside UDP packets, but what about the IP layer?

The IP layer has addresses of its own, among other kinds of flags. Xboxes use the IP of 0.0.0.1 to communicate. This is nothing *too* special, but if you want to sniff only your xboxs traffic, then you can simply filter for that ip and youll get it.

The proxy works by listening for broadcast packets from any xboxes on the immediate network. Any broadcast packets are forwarded to any known proxies over UDP. The proxy also keeps track of ethernet addresses by proxy. So if a packet from "my" xbox wants to talk to another xbox, the proxy will know which proxy that target xbox is on, and only forward the packet to that proxy.

This is a very simple system, and I dont have to know anything about the system link protocol beyond what the underlying layers are used for communication.
I later did some investigating into iTunes music shares. iTunes uses mdns (Apple calls it Rendezvous) for "discovery" of other iTunes music shares.

The discovery is done over a protocol called multicast. Adding mdns support to the proxy/bridge program was quite trivial, and I have tested that it does in-fact work. You can use it to listen to iTunes music shares which are not on your immediate network.

Incredible Hosting System is a tool that allows you to administrate a hosting system using a Web browser.
The aim is to support administrators and users. Incredible Hosting System currently includes support for Virtual Qmail.
IHS will be a platform for implementing and integrating mail or hosting systems in different environments - small or medium companies looking for tools for managing system accounts, hosting companies offering services based on this system.
System is complex, requires integration of many other applications, for example: WWW server, mail transfer agent, FTP server, database. Also it should be possible to integrate system with other applications that are specific to companys environment.
Aside integration of existing application platform must be built that will allow to manage everything is a manner undependent from tools that are used in background. It should be a centralized and consistent environment. Also API for developers shoule be generic that changes in tools doesnt require changes in code.
Incredible Hosting System will be based on following tools, technologies:
- Apache as WWW server;
- PostgreSQL as default database;
- ProFTPD as default database;
- qmail or Virtual Qmail as a MTA;
- CORBA as a service communication protocol;
- J2EE as an runtime environment;
