Now, you have to know that the whole process is pretty easy, Why?!!!
Because, if you TRAINED yourself on the following 4 steps ONLY, you will be a MASTER in getting proxies within a short time.

Q What are the 4 steps?

I- Getting Proxies:using AccessDiver & SocksFarm , Angry IP Scanner and Proxy Hunter
a- By COLLECTING
COLLECTING or LEECHING them from proxy websites

Advantages:
1- Peacful and doesn’t include attacking any computers
2- Easy
3- Takes about 3 hours
4- Very rewarding: you will get at least 1 Proxy, but you may get 3 proxies at once by this method according to the efficiency of your Proxy Leech List.

Disadvantages:
- The proxies you get by this method, many other persons have got it by the same easy method, so they may die soon.

b- By Scanning:
Scanning a university to detect Computers with open ports, which can be done using Angry IP Scanner (Fast) or Proxy Hunter (Slower by 3 times).
Advantages:
- The proxies you get by this method are ONLY yours, no body got them before you, so you can enjoy them with yourself

Disdvantages:
1- Offesive, needs scanning or pinging alot of computers , which will not be prefered by your Internet Provider as it is considered HACKING.
2- Difficult
3- Takes about 4 – 6 hours
4- After scanning you MAY find a PROXY.

II- Filteration of proxies:Using Charon
Proxies from leeching come from different sources, so they MUST to be filtered, using Charon
Why?
Because if we don’t , that will waste much of our efforts and time without getting any valid proxies,
How?
a- Remove Duplicates
b- Remove Dangerous Proxies (FBI, Governmental & Military)
c- Remove Proxies with Invalid ports
d- Remove CoDeeNs (as tthey almost need Authentication to use them so they are wasting our time)
e- Remove Proxies that work nicely (but, they only give us Guest access to ScienceDirect).

On contrary, proxies that you get from scanning don’t need to be filtered

III- Checking Proxies:Using Charon
To detect the working Proxies, and please notice something:
When we seek Scientific Proxies, it doesn’t matter if they are Anonymous or not , but if we are doing cracking, they should be Elite or at least Anonymous, OK.

IV- Certification: Using Proxy Hunter
This is the final step, where we take the working proxies resulting form the previous step and we give them to Proxy hunter to tell us if they are CERTIFIED to get into ScienceDirect or not (I mean if they give us subscriped access to ScienceDirect or not), and it can be adjusted to test for other databases also, as Springer, Ingenta & Ovid, or you can – after you become professional- adjust it to test a certain Journal or article.
