Glad you asked. I love explaining technical things A cgi proxy is a type of proxy server that is accessible via URLs. Anonymizer.com is a well known example. Normal proxy servers are configured on your browser advanced options. I explained proxy servers briefly on another post. I am sure most hijackers are using a very well known and public cgi proxy called CGIProxy by James Marshall. I have used it in the past (not for hijacking) and I can say that it is very easy to setup and use. The SSL and connection code is a little bit complex if you are not familiar with socket programming and encryption, but the fact that it is written in Perl makes a lot of things easy. The cgi proxy in the hijacking context works like this: • Googlebot finds and fetches a proxied URL (http://cgiproxyserver/http/yoursite.com) • The CGI proxy script pulls the page from your site (http://yoursite.com ) • The CGI script replaces all your internal links (http://yoursite.com/page1.htm to http://cgiproxyserver/http
