Python Requests IP Spoofing

If you want to send a request to a server without revealing your IP, then you need to spoof your IP address. The IP spoofing technique is used to hide the original source of the request and make it appear as if the request is coming from a different IP. In Python, the Requests library is used for making HTTP requests, and it also supports IP spoofing.

Using the 'X-Forwarded-For' Header

The 'X-Forwarded-For' header is used for identifying the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer. You can use this header to spoof your IP address while making requests using Python Requests.


import requests

url = "http://example.com"
headers = {"X-Forwarded-For": "10.10.10.10"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.content)

Using the 'Via' Header

The 'Via' header is used to identify intermediate protocols and recipients between the user agent and the server on requests, and between the origin server and the client on responses. You can use this header to spoof your IP address while making requests using Python Requests.


import requests

url = "http://example.com"
headers = {"Via": "10.10.10.10"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.content)

Using a Proxy Server

You can also use a proxy server to make requests with a spoofed IP address. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your computer and the server you want to access. When you use a proxy server, your request is forwarded to the server through the proxy server, hiding your IP address.


import requests

url = "http://example.com"
proxies = {"http": "http://10.10.10.10:8080"}

response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
print(response.content)
