Just a word of caution: Running tools like this from your home IP address is a good way of getting banned from the Internet* by Akamai.

* (yes, yes, you're not banned from the Internet, but you'll be surprised by all the sites you visit that sit behind Akamai)

Some ISPs are relatively easy to get a new IP address on, others are rather difficult, so don't be dumb, use protection: a VPN.

Just don't run it against anything for which you do not have permission to run such tools.

Running a tool like this against your favorite websites, is a simple way of getting banned from your favorite websites.

Even sites that have bug bounties don't turn off their WAF for you. So you can have permission to run some tools against them, but still anger Akamai.

Blocking VPN ip isn't a great contribution to community. Others including you will get that ip later.

Ruin your internet for yourself, if you have to run such tools on public websites. You shouldn't anyway.

Don't run this kind of stuff on somebody's website without prior consent.

[strictnein]

Never said to do so. Even with prior consent you'll still get Akamai mad at you.

My point here is was just that this is a somewhat dangerous tool to start just aiming at random websites. Probably a fair amount of people here that don't understand the full ramifications of their actions.

Do I risk getting banned if I only use this against my own websites?

[Filligree]

By who?

If you're running out against an Akamai or Cloudfoare reverse proxy in front of your website, then sure. If not, no; they don't have wiretaps.

Couple of years back the amount of captcha I have to solve to visit a site was amazing while using the workplace network. Although the CDN I faced most problems with was CloudFlare.
