# IP Addresses for Pentest

Aikido uses dedicated IP addresses and request headers to perform pentesting of your environment. To prevent connectivity issues, rate limiting, or security blocks, add these IPs and headers to your firewall’s allowlist or other security software.

## IP Addresses

### **EU-based IP addresses**

* 52.48.122.82
* 54.194.175.200
* 52.210.210.125
* 54.76.103.212
* 54.217.255.121
* 52.49.182.62
* 34.252.102.184
* 52.209.168.11

### **Optional IP addresses**

Used for troubleshooting with support.

* 79.127.239.171

## Request Headers

All requests from Aikido's pentesting include one of the following headers, which can also be used for allowlisting:

* `aikido-pentest-agent`
* `aikido-pentest-agent/1.0 (Agent <AGENT_UUID>)`

## Third party provider instructions <a href="#third-party-provider-instructions" id="third-party-provider-instructions"></a>

For instructions on adding IP addresses to allowlists with third-party providers, refer to the following resources:

* [Cloudflare WAF](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/custom-rules/use-cases/allow-traffic-from-ips-in-allowlist/)
  * Cloudflare Turnstile does not support allowlisting specific client IP addresses. If you need to [bypass Turnstile for Aikido scanning traffic, you must do it in your application code.](https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/tutorials/conditionally-enforcing-turnstile/) We recommend bypassing only when both conditions are true:
    1. The request originates from an Aikido IP range
    2. The request includes the `aikido` User Agent in headers as described above
* [Azure WAF](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/web-application-firewall/ag/custom-waf-rules-overview)
* [AWS WAF](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/waf-rule-statement-type-ipset-match.html).
  * For WAFs behind Application Load Balancers or CloudFront, your [WAF should check the last IP address in the `X-Forwarded-For` header](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/waf-rule-statement-forwarded-ip-address.html).
* [Vercel WAF](https://vercel.com/docs/vercel-firewall/vercel-waf/custom-rules)
  * Use the ["bypass" action](https://vercel.com/docs/vercel-firewall/firewall-concepts#bypass) for trusted IPs

{% hint style="info" %}
[The IP address lists are also available as JSON arrays ](https://aikido.help/ips/)
{% endhint %}

## Testing Internal Applications

If your application is hosted on a strictly private network, VPN, or intranet that cannot accept inbound traffic from the public internet, you can use the [Aikido Broker for Internal Applications](/~/revisions/SGhJfnCIOpxRjx1gC1k5/miscellaneous-info/aikido-broker-for-internal-applications.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
The Broker requires installing an agent in your infrastructure. We recommend this only when standard IP allowlisting is not possible.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/~/revisions/SGhJfnCIOpxRjx1gC1k5/pentests/ip-addresses-for-pentest.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
