Default IBM HTTP Server

The Default IBM HTTP Server module is a JSON definition designed for the Vidoc platform to detect the presence of the IBM HTTP Server. It tests for the server's fingerprint by running a simple yet effective check. This module helps in identifying potential misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, or the presence of the IBM HTTP Server.

The IBM HTTP Server is a software developed by IBM, serving as a web server based on the Apache HTTP Server. It provides a secure, reliable, and scalable foundation for delivering web content and applications.

This module has an informative severity rating, meaning it provides valuable information about the presence of the IBM HTTP Server, but does not indicate a critical vulnerability or misconfiguration.

The Default IBM HTTP Server module is authored by an unknown author.

Impact

This module's impact is informative, as it helps users identify the presence of the IBM HTTP Server within their environment. It does not imply any specific vulnerabilities or misconfigurations, but rather provides insight into the server's existence.

How the Module Works

The module operates by sending HTTP requests to the target server and matching predefined conditions to determine if the server exhibits characteristics consistent with the IBM HTTP Server.

For example, the module may send a GET request to the target server and analyze the response headers or HTML body for specific patterns indicating the presence of the IBM HTTP Server. The module also verifies that the server responds with an HTTP status code of 200, indicating a successful connection.

To meet the conditions specified in the module, the target server must have a page with the text "<title>IBM HTTP Server</title>" in its HTML body and respond with an HTTP status code of 200.
