What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A shell script that attempts to bypass web application firewalls (like Cloudflare, Incapsula, SUCURI) by finding the origin server IP through historical DNS A records. It checks whether old IPs still respond for the domain and outputs a confidence level based on HTML response similarity.

Use cases

  • find the origin IP behind Cloudflare
  • bypass WAF for bug bounty testing
  • discover old unmaintained servers still responding for a domain
  • check if a firewall can be circumvented via DNS history
  • locate subdomains pointing to the origin server

When to choose

  • you are a bug bounty hunter testing WAF-protected targets
  • you need a quick shell-based tool with no heavy dependencies
  • you want to check historical DNS A records for origin IP leaks

When to avoid

  • you need a full-featured reconnaissance framework
  • you require Windows support
  • you need an actively developed tool with frequent updates
