But lets get back to one feature: Auto-removal of dead or unreliable proxy and when site protection mechanism blocks the proxy That is not possible using proxychains. A less your program depends on other programs, the better. I am not saying, ten points to THC for coding it in pure C. I could not find any kind of FORM support from hydra, i have put a good amount of time to FORM auto-detection logic as well (very good for less advanced users). Some people have asked what advantages NiX offers over other tools, this question should have been answered now. > > Good job coding it though, I can't imagine that was easy. > Ryan Thanks, really difficult and time consuming project but i have verified it to be stable (45k combolist and over 1000 proxies). PS. If any of you downloaded yesterday 1.0.0 version, please download immediately the latest 1.0.1 version is i forgot to fix something important (told in CHANGELOG) before i packed the release version. If you find a bug, just let me know and i try to fix it asap. > > On Nov 13, 2010, at 3:36 PM, nix@...roxylists.com wrote: > >>> Le vendredi 12 novembre 2010 à 21:47 +0200, nix@...roxylists.com a >>> écrit : >>>> Where is for example FORM auto-detection for those >>>> other tools?
