CloudFail
→ View on GitHubAI Summary: CloudFail is a reconnaissance tool designed to uncover the origin server of targets protected by Cloudflare by utilizing three distinct attack phases: misconfigured DNS scans, querying the Crimeflare database, and brute-forcing over 2500 subdomains. The tool operates through Tor to maintain anonymity while performing these scans, making it particularly useful for security researchers conducting penetration tests or academic inquiries. Key features include seamless integration with Tor for privacy, a focus on potential DNS misconfigurations, and an easy-to-use scanning interface.
README
CloudFail
CloudFail is a tactical reconnaissance tool which aims to gather enough information about a target protected by Cloudflare in the hopes of discovering the location of the server. Using Tor to mask all requests, the tool as of right now has 3 different attack phases.
- Misconfigured DNS scan using DNSDumpster.com.
- Scan the Crimeflare.com database.
- Bruteforce scan over 2500 subdomains.

Disclaimer
This tool is a PoC (Proof of Concept) and does not guarantee results. It is possible to setup Cloudflare properly so that the IP is never released or logged anywhere; this is not often the case and hence why this tool exists. This tool is only for academic purposes and testing under controlled environments. Do not use without obtaining proper authorization from the network owner of the network under testing. The author bears no responsibility for any misuse of the tool.
Install on Kali/Debian
First we need to install pip3 for python3 dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Then we can run through dependency checks:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
If this fails because of missing setuptools, do this:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
Usage
To run a scan against a target:
python3 cloudfail.py --target seo.com
To run a scan against a target using Tor:
service tor start
(or if you are using Windows or Mac install vidalia or just run the Tor browser)
python3 cloudfail.py --target seo.com --tor
Please make sure you are running with Python3 and not Python2.*.
