You are correct that if the bad guy co-locates at the same IP then it is a problem. However that then becomes an issue with the service that chose to host on a shared IP.
For other services that use dedicated IPs but spin up/down machines based on load etc it is still much more useful and secure than running a proxy with a CA that generates fake certificates, especially when you can’t update the trust root of the client device (often the case with embedded devices and those that are managed by the third party service provider)
- hakfoo 8y agoThe colocation would be trivial to fake. Just buy a second benign domain name, register it privately, and point a few A records at your servers. You're back to seeing SNI requests for cdn12345.catpics.com which happens to be the same as command-and-control.suspicious-site.kp
