Impact

The "FFserver Status Detect" module helps identify potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in FFserver. By detecting these issues, system administrators can take appropriate actions to mitigate any risks and ensure the smooth operation of the FFserver software.

How does the module work?

The "FFserver Status Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target FFserver instance and analyzing the responses based on predefined matching conditions. It checks for specific keywords in the response body, such as "ffserver Status," "Available Streams," and "Connection Status." Additionally, it verifies that the HTTP response status code is 200 (OK).

Here is an example of an HTTP request that the module may send:

GET /status HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Vidoc-Scanner

The module's matching conditions ensure that the response contains the expected keywords and that the HTTP status code is 200. If these conditions are met, the module reports a successful detection of the FFserver status.
