I am recently exploring and playing with James Kettle’s Practical Web Cache Poisoning attack. The last part of his post mentioned that Cross-Cloud Poisoning is possible, however, I can’t find a way to make it work.
I think the basic idea… Continue reading Remotely poisoning Cloudflare’s cache servers by James Kettle’s Web Cache Poisoning Attack?
Scammers disguised two domains as a content delivery network (CDN) in an attempt to quietly target visitors with a credit card skimmer. Malwarebytes noticed something suspicious within the website code of a Parisian boutique store. At first, the script… Continue reading Scammers Disguise Two Domains as CDN to Cloak Credit Card Skimmer
I am very curious if it is possible to find the real IP address of a domain “protected” by a CDN service.
For example, www.cnn.com uses Fastly service, and the domain name only resolves to a Fastly edge server’s IP. If I scan the whole 4… Continue reading Is it possible to scan the whole IP range to find a domain behind the CDN?
I’ve heard in a conversation and read in some forum posts that Cloudflare will proxy your IP, hiding it from the public, and this mitigates the risk of an attacker finding your server in the first place, making it more secure.
Is there an… Continue reading Does Cloudflare masking my IP make my server more secure?
CDN are said to absorb and mitigate the Denial of Service and DDOS attacks. Consider an application that uses a CDN provider to deliver its content. So if an attacker tries to bring down such an application using DOS or DDOS,… Continue reading Does a DDOS attack on an application using CDN have to first bring down all the involved CDN servers to affect the application’s availability?
Are there any services provided by CDN or others which hunt for fake bank pages cached in CDNs and scrub these pages – based on closely matching names, CSS styles, colors, etc.?
A bank claims that its customer login pages cannot be cached – apparently because there’s some unique number associated with each instance of a page rendered on the client browser. Supposedly, a customer trying to log in to t… Continue reading protecting login pages of a bank using CDN and TLS [closed]
Media and entertainment companies, including content owners and over-the-top (OTT) service providers are living in an era symbolized by a dramatic increase in content consumption fueled by the widespread availability of online video content, coupled with factors like hyper-connected devices and ubiquitous high-speed data.

I am trying to understand how a CDN (like Cloudflare e.g) does protect against a DDoS attack.
I would think that the internet traffic is routed through a CDN’s reverse proxy, then filtered. This assumes that the DNS record o… Continue reading How does a CDN actually prevent DDoS attacks, when an origin server accepts direct connections?
