Securing Web applications from DOS, DDOS, XSS, SQL Injection attack is very much essential in this digital era. Many web applications use a wall in front of their server to save the server from these types of attacks, and this wall is known as Cloudflare. To detect whether the target application uses Cloudflare service or not, we have an automated tool named CloudBuster. CloudBuster tool is developed in the Python Language and available on the GitHub platform. This tool supports a target list for automated scans .this tool can take multiple command-line arguments to customize and fine-tune.
