Impact

The impact of this module is primarily informational. It helps identify whether the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page is present on a server, which can provide insights into the server's configuration and potential vulnerabilities.

How the module works?

The 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 Ubuntu Default Page: It works</title>" tag in the body of the response.

If the response contains this tag, it indicates that the default Apache2 Ubuntu page is being served by the server. The module then reports this as a match, indicating the presence of the default page.

Matching Conditions:

- The module checks the body of the HTTP response for the presence of the "<title>Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works</title>" tag.

Example HTTP Request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3
