It would be tough because I would have to check the health of each proxy prior to use (so that I don't miss out on request windows), but still an interesting concept to consider.
Also, I wrote mine in Node (scrape parsing & RESTful APIs just SCREAM async), while dumpmon is written in Python
Also, just to draw the distinction: Pasteye is for near-realtime monitor notifications, and it seems like Canarypw is more like an archival search.
#1 - Hacker breaks into your production server and steals your config files
#2 - Hacker breaks into your dev computer and steals your config files
If either of these things happen, I think you have a bigger security issue than any you might find on Pasteye.
Again, really great work, and thank you again.
Included your suggestions. Thank you again!
In the future, we would like to be able to launch programs at high schools in the form of "clubs". The goal would be to teach high school students how to take an idea, flesh it out, and build it into a small cashflow positive startup. Fundraising dates would be set throughout the school year for these "micro startups" to contribute towards a club-wide minimum goal of $x,xxx raised by date z. All funds raised from these clubs would then go towards charity work in a third world country. All financials will be 100% transparent, and individual clubs would have the ability to see (visually) where their money is going and who its impacting. All micro-startups that donate over the minimum would compete for a spot on our leaderboard. Students in this program would get: A line on their resume stating they built a cashflow positive startup, went through a rigorous company-building program, and (if they made it to the leaderboard) a $10k scholarship recognizing them for their venture.
Any sort of direction, feature suggestion, etc. is greatly appreciated!
I didn't mean to plug our startup with empty words, I just wanted to see what sort of traction could be garnered from these outlets. Early-adopters are the backbone of any startup, for-profit or not-for-profit.
However, I will say this: I really do think it's in a company's best interests to dabble in the blackhat security markets a bit as a bystander. You can watch the development of some VERY interesting 0days, botnets, and other such goodies from an in depth perspective. That way, you can protect your mission-critical assets from the latest and greatest vulnerability before it trickles through to vulnerability notifier services.
Actually The Pirate Bay had an interesting idea about this. They are planning on launching their servers high up into the atmosphere. An elegant solution imo.
