How does the module work?

The "phpLDAPadmin Login Panel - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target server and analyzing the responses. It uses specific matching conditions to determine if the phpLDAPadmin login panel is present.

One of the matching conditions used by this module is to check if the response body contains the HTML title tag "<title>phpLDAPadmin". This indicates that the page being accessed is the phpLDAPadmin login panel.

Additionally, the module checks if the HTTP response status is 200, which indicates a successful request. Both matching conditions need to be met for the module to detect the phpLDAPadmin login panel.

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

GET /path/to/phpLDAPadmin HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Vidoc-Scanner

By analyzing the response to this request and applying the matching conditions, the module determines if the phpLDAPadmin login panel is present on the target server.
