🔎 Find origin servers of websites behind by CloudFlare using Internet-wide scan data from Censys.

CloudFlair

CloudFlair is a tool to find origin servers of websites protected by CloudFlare who are publicly exposed and don't restrict network access to the CloudFlare IP ranges as they should.

The tool uses Internet-wide scan data from Censys to find exposed IPv4 hosts presenting an SSL certificate associated with the target's domain name.

For more detail about this common misconfiguration and how CloudFlair works, refer to the companion blog post at https://blog.christophetd.fr/bypassing-cloudflare-using-internet-wide-scan-data/.

Here's what CloudFlair looks like in action.

$ python cloudflair.py myvulnerable.site

[*] The target appears to be behind CloudFlare.
[*] Looking for certificates matching "myvulnerable.site" using Censys
[*] 75 certificates matching "myvulnerable.site" found.
[*] Looking for IPv4 hosts presenting these certificates...
[*] 10 IPv4 hosts presenting a certificate issued to "myvulnerable.site" were found.
