🚀 I'm thrilled to share the results of my latest weekend project: the wpad.je Tracker! This innovative tool provides fascinating insights into web traffic patterns and proxy usage.

Diverse user agents, including Chrome, Firefox, and alot WinHttp-Autoproxy-Service

🔍 Intriguing Findings:
It has never been more easy, to get a botnet for free, victims saying hello on their behave. Screenshot shows a proxied request to example.com with some additional JavaScript 😄

🛠️ Tech Stack:
Custom-built Python server with SQLite backend
Real-time geolocation tracking
Interactive 2D globe visualization

🤓 What I Learned:
This project was a deep dive into proxy servers, web tracking, and WPAD madness (Thank you Microsoft for 25 years service 💩 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securitybulletins/1999/ms99-054). It's fascinating to see how a simple idea can evolve into a powerful tool for understanding weird Internet traffic patterns.

👀 What's Next? I'm considering open-sourcing this project. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential applications and improvements!
