some domains using cloudflare as dns proxy will use this cname that reveal
they real ip address:
direct-connect.domain.com
direct.domain.com
let me give u a sample
# host exploit-db.com
exploit-db.com has address 199.27.134.111
exploit-db.com has address 199.27.135.111
it's clear using cloudflare
what the real ip address??
here goes the answer
===========
# host direct.exploit-db.com
direct.exploit-db.com has address 67.23.70.60
============
sometimes u can check : mail.domain.com
other method is using nmap dns brute force script
http://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/dns-brute.html
for a long aged domain web can also check hosting history at netcraft .
e.g:
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=
http://www.anti-sec.com
considering the above pattern u may notice this
28-Feb-2010 ----------------> 77.78.103.253
and 1-Mar-2010 ----> 77.78.103.117
at 11 nov 173.245.61.112 -> cloudflare
then u may consider about 1-255 guessable ?? the probability
