  • Is it possible to scrape a website protected by Cloudflare?
    6 projects | /r/golang | 10 Sep 2022
    A lot of websites nowadays add fingerprint checking. So even if you fake the headers - it wouldn't help, as cloudflare still knows you are making request from go / python / whatever. So there is a lib to spoof fingerptint - https://github.com/Danny-Dasilva/CycleTLS . It may work for you .

    While it can still be spoofed using several packages , e.g. https://github.com/Danny-Dasilva/CycleTLS it can still provide a meaningful/easy-to-manipulate signal.

    Moreover, most bots conducting L7 DDoS don't use real/headless browsers in order to be able to scale their attack, so it's highly likely they'll have a discriminating/inconsistent TLS fingerprint.

    This can also be done directly in Fastly using e.g. https://developer.fastly.com/reference/vcl/variables/client-...

    Another approach to proactively flag malicious IPs is to scrape free proxies. Indeed, most DDoS leverage lot of cheap/know bad IPs. It's frequent to see these free proxies in these attacks.
