Reverse proxy is a functionality provided by companies such as Cloudflare and its designed to protect virtual assets on the internet by acting as a middleman between end users and an origin server. While working on a law enforcement case, we performed OSINT research, designed and deployed a tool that allowed us to reach an original website's IP address associated with criminal activity, thus achieving partial bypass of Cloudflare's reverse proxy protection.
