Update start.py - Proxy Check Profress, Recommend Tool

[DanHouseman]

Multiple Updates to start.py Script

Proxy Evaluation Progress Reporting

What Was Added

• Implemented a progress reporting mechanism during proxy evaluation to display the number of proxies checked out of the total number of proxies.
• Provides real-time feedback on the status of the proxy checking process.

Implementation Details

New Function check_proxies_with_progress

• A new function wrapper around the existing proxy checking logic.
• Uses a Counter object and a Lock to safely update and display progress from multiple threads.
• Iterates over the proxies using a ThreadPoolExecutor and updates the progress after each proxy is checked.

Logging Progress

• Added logging statements within a locked context to ensure thread safety.
• Progress is logged using the logger.info method to output messages like "Checked x/y proxies".

Integration with handleProxyList

• Replaced the original proxy checking call with check_proxies_with_progress to incorporate progress reporting.
• Ensured that the total number of proxies and the threads count are appropriately passed to the function.

System Evaluation Tool

What Was Added

• Introduced a new console command RECOMMEND within the ToolsConsole class.
• This command evaluates the system's CPU and memory to recommend optimal performance settings, such as the maximum number of threads to use for attacks.

Implementation Details

New Method recommend

• Added a recommend static method to the ToolsConsole class.
• Utilizes the psutil library to retrieve system information:
  • CPU core count (cpu_count).
  • Total physical memory (virtual_memory).
• Calculates the recommended number of threads based on:
  • The number of CPU cores (e.g., 100 threads per core).
  • Adjustments if the total memory is less than a certain threshold (e.g., 4 GB).

Console Integration

• Updated the runConsole method to include the RECOMMEND command.
• When the user types RECOMMEND, the script outputs the system information and recommendations.

Additional Adjustments and Fixes

Improved Thread Safety

• Ensured that shared resources are accessed in a thread-safe manner using locks.
• Prevented race conditions during progress updates.

Logging Enhancements

• Adjusted logging levels to ensure that progress messages and recommendations are visible to the user.
• Used logger.info for standard messages and logger.debug for more detailed output.

Error Handling

• Enhanced error handling during proxy checking to catch exceptions without stopping the entire process.
• Logged exceptions for debugging purposes.

Optimizations

• Adjusted the frequency of progress updates to prevent overwhelming the console with messages.
• Used a progress interval to log updates at certain checkpoints (e.g., every 1% of proxies checked).
