The modern age of computers is amazing to me. In a few mere minutes we can spin up a seemingly unlimited number of virtual servers on any one of the hundreds of cloud providers out there around the world.
With all of this added ability of compute power we also increase our ability to distribute our HTTP requests over a largr and larger pool of networks. I came across this awesome project on GitHub called proxycannon-ng.
It started as a hackathon project and has since seemingly halted development, however we can still use their code to spin up a network of computers to proxy our requests through!
They provide a nice diagram to explain what we’re making here. For our examples we’ll only be using AWS but the concept is the same across the board.
