About:
cdncheck is a fast, lightweight utility written in Go that identifies the Content Delivery Network (CDN) or cloud provider associated with a specific IP address. It leverages an extensive, up-to-date list of IP ranges to provide accurate detection, helping users distinguish between standard hosting and protected CDN infrastructure. This tool is essential for reconnaissance and attack surface mapping in cybersecurity assessments.
Key Features:
  • Fast and accurate CDN detection using extensive IP lists
  • Supports both single IP and list-based scanning
  • Output in multiple formats (JSON, CLI) for easy integration
  • Regularly updated to include new CDN providers
Use Cases:
  • Performing reconnaissance to identify protected assets during penetration testing
  • Filtering scan results to exclude CDN IPs for accurate target enumeration
  • Verifying CDN configuration and provider for a given set of IP addresses
Alternatives:
  • masscan – masscan is a general-purpose port scanner that can identify open ports but lacks built-in CDN detection capabilities.
  • nmap – nmap is a comprehensive network exploration tool that requires specific scripts (like http-cloudflare) to detect specific CDNs, whereas cdncheck is dedicated to this task.
