I've been reading a lot about proxie servers. I have read what they do and I've read about how they can be missused. But the one thing I'm most interested about right now is, how do u create a proxy. I mean I know u can just download one. Google one. There are hundreds of them out there. But being as paranoid as I am. And interested in this sorts of stuff, I want to know how they are created. What knowledge is required to make them.
I also want to know if I have a proxy, how do i test one proxy for the vulnabilities how can I do it ? Should use a box and try to break in from another computer connected via lan ?
I think it would be rather interesting to read about this. Anyone with knowledge please post.

to set up a proxy just needs a little Apache config knowledge:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html
the access control is the biggest factor in securing it....many (most ?) proxies you find are either misconfigured or hacked servers ("hacked" first and then turned into a proxy I mean).
