Domain fronting is a technique used to disguise the true destination of internet traffic by routing requests through legitimate, high-reputation domains, often cloud service providers like Google or Amazon. Attackers leverage this method to bypass censorship, evade network monitoring, or hide malicious communications. By manipulating the HTTP Host header and the TLS Server Name Indication (SNI), the initial request appears to target a benign domain, while the payload is actually sent to a covert server. This makes it difficult for security systems to detect or block the malicious activity, as the traffic seems to be associated with trusted services.
