Web Scraping

Which C# Tools Should You Use for Web Scraping?

Zeid AbughazalehZeid Abughazaleh on Oct 23, 2026

C# web scraping usually pairs HttpClient with an HTML parser such as AngleSharp. Reuse one client, set firm limits, validate every response, and stop pagination loops before saving records. Use Playwright for JavaScript-rendered pages, and add proxies only when a documented routing or location requirement exists.

How to Use SSH to Connect to a Linux Server

Omar RifaiOmar Rifai on Dec 9, 2024

Secure Shell, or SSH, is a protocol that lets you securely connect to a remote device like a Raspberry Pi or Ubuntu server over a network. By using SSH, you can access the device’s terminal from your own computer. This is ideal for those who don’t have physical access to a device or want to manage it remotely.

Dedicated IP vs Shared IP: Differences and When To Use Them

Zeid AbughazalehZeid Abughazaleh on Dec 6, 2024

Choosing between a dedicated IP vs shared IP may seem straightforward but there are a few differences in how they work, what each is used for, and what makes them unique. For individuals or businesses, choosing between a dedicated IP vs shared IP comes with knowing what they are, when and where a dedicated IP is needed vs when a shared IP is useful, and keeping important factors in mind before making the decision.

How Do You Scrape Websites With Ruby?

Zeid AbughazalehZeid Abughazaleh on Dec 4, 2024

Ruby web scraping requests a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) with Ruby's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client, `Net::HTTP`. Nokogiri parses returned Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and searches it with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) selectors. Use Selenium only when JavaScript (JS) creates required content, then validate fields before saving comma-separated values (CSV).

How to Parse XML in Python

Zeid AbughazalehZeid Abughazaleh on Nov 29, 2024

Learning to parse XML in Python is a good skill to have when working with structured data. XML is used for data storage and transfer because of its flexibility and readability. It comes in handy for extracting data from a website, processing configuration files, and analyzing large datasets. In this article, we will explain what XML is, understand the structure of it, and explore five different ways to parse XML in Python. With this guide, you will find more options to help you with your next project.

Passive OS Fingerprinting: TCP/IP, JA4T, and Proxy Behavior

Omar RifaiOmar Rifai on Nov 26, 2024

Passive OS fingerprinting estimates the network stack behind a connection by observing normal packet characteristics instead of actively probing the device. It can help a network operator classify traffic, diagnose unexpected intermediaries, or compare a connection with other signals. It cannot reliably reveal an exact OS version, identify a unique person, or prove that two matching connections came from the same device.

How to Use cURL in Python: PycURL, Requests, and subprocess

Zeid AbughazalehZeid Abughazaleh on Nov 22, 2024

Python can make the same HTTP requests as a cURL command in three practical ways: translate the command into the Requests library, call libcurl through PycURL, or execute the installed curl program with subprocess.run(). The best method depends on whether you want a Python-native API, libcurl features, or exact compatibility with an existing cURL command.

UDP over SOCKS5: How HTTP/3 and QUIC Affect Proxies

Omar RifaiOmar Rifai on Nov 15, 2024

HTTP/3 will not make proxies obsolete. HTTP/3 runs over QUIC, which uses UDP instead of TCP, but that does not prevent proxying. SOCKS5 supports UDP relay through the UDP ASSOCIATE command, and the HTTP/3 standard recommends falling back to TCP-based HTTP when a QUIC connection cannot be established.

How Do You Test Proxies for IP, Speed, and Reliability?

Zeid AbughazalehZeid Abughazaleh on Oct 25, 2024

To test proxies, confirm that the client can connect to and authenticate with each proxy endpoint. Verify the expected public IP address, then measure location accuracy, session behavior, latency, and valid-result rates. Finish with a controlled target test because an IP-check result alone cannot prove production suitability.
