8.1 Future Work and EnhancementsAlthough the program does detect most of the common proxies available on the internet there are some minor improvements that could be made to the system.
A check should be put in place to limit the amount of packets printed out to the log, the check should grab the IP from the packet and also the proxy that was in the packet, and if it has already been printed to the log then there is no need to reprint. This check would greatly reduce the size of the log, however it would also leave the network administrator with only one network packet to determine the use of the proxy.
A function should be integrated into the system to allow the user the ability to pause or restart the project without having to close the program and start it up again.
As a lot of the main proxies have been detected, there are some proxies available that do not fall under the main categories. Determining the characteristics of these proxies and adding them to the code would be a useful addition.
A proxy counter could be utilized to count the amount of proxies detected within the network in a given time. The counter should be able to distinguish between the different proxies and give a daily report of the proxy usage. This could then be used to determine how successful the system is, especially if the network administrator is blocking the proxies as they find them.
As the program was to be run on a continuous basis, the need for a function for the user to upload a packet file to check if it contains a proxy or not was not the priority for this program, therefore it was not implemented. It could however be implemented in the future, as it would be a useful feature to be able to scan saved packet files. 10. ReferencesChaabane, A., Pere Manils, P. & Kaafar, M.
