Impact

This module does not have a direct impact on the system being scanned. It simply detects the presence of the ILIAS login panel, providing information about its existence.

How does the module work?

The "ILIAS Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests to specific paths, namely "/login.php" and "/ilias/login.php", using the GET method. It then applies matching conditions to determine if the ILIAS login panel is present. The matching conditions include checking for specific words in the response, such as "Login to ILIAS", "alt="ILIAS", and "powered by ILIAS". Additionally, the module verifies that the response status is 200. If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports the detection of the ILIAS login panel.

Here is an example of an HTTP request sent by the module:

GET /login.php HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

The matching conditions for this module are:

- The response must contain any of the following words: "Login to ILIAS", "alt="ILIAS", "powered by ILIAS". - The response status must be 200.

By applying these matching conditions, the module can accurately detect the presence of the ILIAS login panel.
