Security Best Practices

When using CloakProbe:

  • Always run behind a reverse proxy (nginx/Apache)
  • Use HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • Keep the ASN database updated
  • Monitor logs for suspicious activity
  • Run with minimal required permissions
  • Keep dependencies up to date (cargo audit)

Known Security Considerations

  • CloakProbe relies on Cloudflare headers for IP detection
  • Ensure Cloudflare is properly configured
  • The ASN database is read-only and safe
  • No user input is processed without validation
