sockifing grabbit to access any news on any newsgroups

[leonidas]

Do you think it might be possible to sockify grabbit, using as a proxy an ip of the isp of your choice, so that the isp thinks you are actualy allowed to grabb news?
I think it would, using "socks cap" and proxy hunter, the point is I don't know how proxy hunter works.

I'm asking this for educational purposes only off course. ;) so that people understand how proxy and sock protocol works together ;)

Don't think it's possible since ISP's always ask for a username and password before you can access usenet through them.

[callum]

My ISP dosen't ask for a password or username, don't know about any others.

Mine does :ermm:

[FilesAreGood]

Most ISPs don't ask for usernames passwords, and allow based on IP. In fact I knew of none that did until Filliz.

[RealitY]

I think most ISP dont also although if you try to get in via proxy or vpn it will reject you thinking your not a customer then.

[Filliz]

Mine probably asks for my pass and uname bacause we've got this stupid monthly limit at our ISP.

They even have a separate upload limit.
Damn fuckers :angry:
There goes the fun in Emule :cry:

Dl'speeds are tops though.
Seen myself dl'ing at ±800KB/s on newsgroups :w00t:
But I'll still be switching ISP when I get the chance.
