Just a word of caution: Running tools like this from your home IP address is a good way of getting banned from the Internet* by Akamai.
* (yes, yes, you're not banned from the Internet, but you'll be surprised by all the sites you visit that sit behind Akamai)
Some ISPs are relatively easy to get a new IP address on, others are rather difficult, so don't be dumb, use protection: a VPN.
- chii 8y agoDon't run this kind of stuff on somebody's website without prior consent.
- strictnein 8y agoNever said to do so. Even with prior consent you'll still get Akamai mad at you. My point here is was just that this is a somewhat dangerous tool to start just aiming at random websites. Probably a fair amount of people here that don't understand the full ramifications of their actions.
- kokx 8y agoJust don't run it against anything for which you do not have permission to run such tools. Running a tool like this against your favorite websites, is a simple way of getting banned from your favorite websites.
- strictnein 8y agoEven sites that have bug bounties don't turn off their WAF for you. So you can have permission to run some tools against them, but still anger Akamai.
- __Joker 8y agoCouple of years back the amount of captcha I have to solve to visit a site was amazing while using the workplace network. Although the CDN I faced most problems with was CloudFlare.
- dzek69 8y agoBlocking VPN ip isn't a great contribution to community. Others including you will get that ip later. Ruin your internet for yourself, if you have to run such tools on public websites. You shouldn't anyway.
- kawera 8y agoDo I risk getting banned if I only use this against my own websites?
- Filligree 8y agoBy who? If you're running out against an Akamai or Cloudfoare reverse proxy in front of your website, then sure. If not, no; they don't have wiretaps.
