How to add new providers?

provider.yaml file contains list of CDN, WAF and Cloud providers. The list contains URLs, ASNs and CIDRs which are then compiled into a final sources_data.json file using generate-index program.

Example of provider.yaml file -

cdn:
  # asn contains the ASN numbers for providers
  asn:
    leaseweb:
      - AS60626

  # urls contains a list of URLs for CDN providers
  urls:
    cloudfront:
      - https://d7uri8nf7uskq.cloudfront.net/tools/list-cloudfront-ips
    fastly:
      - https://api.fastly.com/public-ip-list

  # cidr contains the CIDR ranges for providers
  cidr:
    akamai:
      - "23.235.32.0/20"
      - "43.249.72.0/22"
      - "103.244.50.0/24"
      - "103.245.222.0/23"
      - "103.245.224.0/24"
      - "104.156.80.0/20"

New providers which can be scraped from a URL, ASN or a list of static CIDR can be added to provider.yaml file by following simple steps as listed below:

Fork the GitHub repository containing the cmd/generate-index/provider.yaml file.
Clone your forked repository to your local machine and navigate to the cmd/generate-index directory.
Open the provider.yaml file and locate the section for the type of provider you want to add (CDN, WAF, or Cloud).
Add the new provider's information to the appropriate section in the provider.yaml file.
Commit your changes with a descriptive commit message.
Push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub.
Open a pull request to the original repository with your changes.

Other providers

CNAME and Wappalyzer based additions can be done in other.go file. Just simply add the values to the variables and you're good to go.

// cdnCnameDomains contains a map of CNAME to domains to cdns
var cdnCnameDomains = map[string]string{
	"cloudfront.net":         "amazon",
	"amazonaws.com":          "amazon",
    ...
}

// cdnWappalyzerTechnologies contains a map of wappalyzer technologies to cdns
var cdnWappalyzerTechnologies = map[string]string{
	"imperva":    "imperva",
	"incapsula":  "incapsula",
	...
}

cdncheck as library

Helper library that checks if a given IP is running on Cloud / CDN / WAF.

The library can be used by importing github.com/projectdiscovery/cdncheck. here follows a basic example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/cdncheck"
)

func main() {
	client := cdncheck.New()
	ip := net.ParseIP("173.245.48.12")

	// checks if an IP is contained in the cdn denylist
	matched, val, err := client.CheckCDN(ip)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	if matched {
		fmt.Printf("%v is a %v\n", ip, val)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%v is not a CDN\n", ip)
	}

	// checks if an IP is contained in the cloud denylist
	matched, val, err = client.CheckCloud(ip)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	if matched {
		fmt.Printf("%v is a %v\n", ip, val)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%v is not a Cloud\n", ip)
	}

	// checks if an IP is contained in the waf denylist
	matched, val, err = client.CheckWAF(ip)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	if matched {
		fmt.Printf("%v WAF is %v\n", ip, val)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%v is not a WAF\n", ip)
	}
}
