A Viktoria Cyberware Extraction Tool

Stealth-class proxy extractor + validator.
This script slices through rendered JavaScript pages to harvest raw public proxies, then filters the survivors down to U.S.-based, working endpoints.
Forged for ops. Built for speed. Designed to bleed the web.

What It Is

#

TR†NCH KNIFE is a proxy extractor + cleaner designed to rip through JavaScript-heavy pages, harvest public proxies, and filter them down to a clean list of U.S.-based, working endpoints—fast.

It scrapes. It checks. It purifies.
And it doesn’t ask for anything in return.

Why I Built It

#

Most proxy scrapers online are garbage. Half of them choke on JS-rendered tables. The other half dump a list of trash-tier IPs that get you banned the second you use them.

I needed something that:

• Could actually extract from sites using JavaScript tables
• Filtered out dead proxies and foreign IPs
• Was fast, threaded, and didn’t waste time
• Could be dropped into a pipeline like a weapon module

So I built it. On top of Playwright. And then I wired in a multi-threaded cleaner that checks each proxy against example.com, validates U.S. origin with ip-api.com, and tosses anything that doesn’t pass the smell test.

When the scraper finishes, the cleaner kicks in. Automatically. One command. One pipeline.
No bloat. No GUI. Just steel.

How It Works

#

TR†NCH KNIFE is two tools in one:

1. Scraper:
Powered by Playwright, it slices through JavaScript-heavy pages like free-proxy-list.net, sslproxies.org, us-proxy.org, and others. It renders the tables, waits for them to load, and extracts IP:Port combos directly from the DOM.

2. Cleaner (Threaded):
Once proxies are scraped, they’re handed off to a threaded validator that:

• Filters out malformed junk
• Pings example.com through each proxy to check functionality
• Validates the IP’s country via ip-api.com
• Outputs a list of working U.S. proxies to clean-proxies.txt

Expandable: Add More Proxy Sources

#

Included in the repo is a file called proxy_sources.json. I’ve pre-loaded a few solid sources to get you started, but the system is fully modular. You can add any other proxy site you know of by appending to that JSON file.

Some sites may time out or reject scraping, but the engine will try each one in order.
You can use this to build your own custom pipeline from any proxy aggregator you trust.

How to Use It

#

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/BruceKi/trnchknife.git
cd trnchknife

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install

3. Run the full tool:

python3 trench_scraper.py

That’s it. It’ll show a Viktoria Cyberware splash, rip proxies, filter them, and dump clean results into clean-proxies.txt.

Why It’s Free

#

Because gatekeeping isn’t power.
Because the tools of survival should be in everyone’s hands.
Because if I’m going to burn my time, it sure as hell won’t be for a paywall.

TR†NCH KNIFE is yours. Use it, fork it, repurpose it. I don’t care.
Just do something real with it.

Final Words

#

This isn’t just a scraper. This isn’t just a repo.
This is proof-of-creation.
It’s something I made while things were falling apart, and I gave it a name because that’s what you do with weapons worth keeping.

So yeah, maybe it’s just a Python script.
But it’s sharp.
And it’s yours now.
