Bustin' Virtual Hosts

This is a Python script that helps identify whether an IP address is associated with a target domain, especially when the domain is behind a firewall or Content Delivery Network (CDN).

How It Works

This script checks whether a given domain is reachable from a list of IP addresses. It verifies whether the IP address is linked to the target domain by examining the responses. This can be valuable for identifying the true origin of a domain that may be obscured by firewall or CDN services.

Usage

1. Clone or Download: Download or clone the repository to your local machine.

2. Install Dependencies: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed, including Python 3.x, pycurl and BeautifulSoup

pip install pycurl beautifulsoup4

3. Create IP List: Prepare a text file containing a list of IP addresses you want to check. Each IP address should be on a separate line.

4. Run the Script: Execute the script with the following command:

python vhostbusters.py <domain> <ip_list_file>

Note

This script is most effective for domains hosted under virtual hosts.

It is intended to provide insights into the origin of a domain and can be especially useful for identifying the true IP address when the domain is shielded by a firewall or CDN.
