Fingerprint Web Server
Web server fingerprinting is the process of identifying the type, version, and configuration of a web server. This information is critical for penetration testers as it helps identify known vulnerabilities associated with specific server versions. Attackers use this information to find and exploit unpatched vulnerabilities. Understanding what web server software is running allows testers to focus their efforts on relevant attack vectors.
Examine HTTP response headers to identify server information.
# Basic header request
curl -I https://target.com
# Verbose output with headers
curl -v https://target.com 2>&1 | grep -i "server\|x-powered-by\|x-aspnet"
# Follow redirects
curl -ILk https://target.com
# Get headers only
wget --server-response --spider https://target.com 2>&1 | grep -i server
| Header | Information Revealed |
|---|---|
Server | Web server software and version |
X-Powered-By | Backend technology (PHP, ASP.NET) |
X-AspNet-Version | ASP.NET version |
X-AspNetMvc-Version | ASP.NET MVC version |
X-Generator | CMS or framework information |
X-Drupal-Cache | Drupal CMS indicator |
X-Varnish | Varnish cache presence |
Via | Proxy server information |
X-Cache | CDN/Cache information |
CF-Ray | Cloudflare indicator |
X-Amz-Cf-Id | AWS CloudFront indicator |
# Connect to HTTP port

# Send request (type manually)

# Press Enter twice
# Connect to HTTPS port
openssl s_client -connect target.com:443 -quiet

Send invalid HTTP requests to trigger error pages that may reveal server information.
# Invalid HTTP version

# Invalid method
echo -e "INVALID / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: target.com\r\n\r\n" | nc target.com 80
# Long URL
