BOPM (Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor) is an open proxy monitoring bot initially designed for Bahamut and Hybrid based IRCDs. The bot is designed to monitor an individual server (all servers on the network have to run their own bot) with a local o: line and monitor connections. When a client connects to the server, BOPM will scan the connection for insecure proxies. Insecure proxies are determined by attempting to connect the proxy back to another host (usually the IRC server in question). BOPM is written ground-up in C language, concept derived from wgmon. It improves on wgmon with HTTP support, faster scanning (it can scan clients simultaneously), better layout (scalability), and dnsbl support.
