The Apache2 Default Test Page module is designed to detect the presence of the default Apache2 Debian page. This module is used to identify misconfigurations or vulnerabilities related to the Apache2 web server.
This module targets the Apache2 web server and specifically looks for the default page that is displayed when Apache2 is installed on a Debian system. It helps in identifying potential issues or weaknesses in the server configuration.
The severity of this module is classified as informative, which means it provides valuable information but does not indicate a critical vulnerability or misconfiguration.
The impact of this module is primarily informational. It helps administrators and security professionals identify if the default Apache2 Debian page is present, which can be an indication of a misconfiguration or potential vulnerability. By detecting this default page, further investigation can be done to ensure the server is properly configured and secure.
The Apache2 Default Test Page module works by sending an HTTP request to the target server and analyzing the response. It specifically looks for the presence of the "<title>Apache2 Debian Default Page: It works</title>
" tag in the body of the response.
The module uses a matching condition that checks if the "<title>Apache2 Debian Default Page: It works</title>
" tag is present in the body of the response. If the tag is found, it indicates that the default Apache2 Debian page is being served by the server.
Here is an example of the HTTP request sent by the module:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
The module then evaluates the response and determines if the matching condition is met. If the condition is met, it reports the presence of the default Apache2 Debian page.
It's important to note that this module does not perform any active exploitation or modification of the target server. It simply detects the presence of the default page and provides information for further analysis and investigation.
