Detect Darkstat Reports

What is "Detect Darkstat Reports?"

The "Detect Darkstat Reports" module is designed to identify instances of the Darkstat software and detect potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities. Darkstat is a network traffic capture tool that calculates usage statistics and serves reports over HTTP. This module focuses on detecting the presence of Darkstat and assessing its security posture.

This module is classified as having a high severity level, indicating that the identified misconfigurations or vulnerabilities could pose a significant risk to the target system.

Impact

If Darkstat is detected and found to have misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, it could potentially expose sensitive network traffic data and compromise the security of the system. Attackers may be able to exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access or perform other malicious activities.

How the module works?

The "Detect Darkstat Reports" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target system and analyzing the responses for specific patterns that indicate the presence of Darkstat. It uses two matching conditions to identify Darkstat instances:

- Header Matcher: This condition checks if the response header contains the string "Server: darkstat". If a match is found, it suggests that Darkstat is being used. - Body Matcher: This condition examines the response body for the presence of certain keywords, including "darkstat", "
