How does the module work?

The "Yellowfin Information Collaboration - Detect" module operates by sending HTTP requests and evaluating the responses against predefined matching conditions. It uses a set of matchers to identify specific patterns or characteristics in the target software.

For example, one of the matching conditions checks if the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request. Additionally, it searches for specific keywords, such as "<title>Yellowfin Information Collaboration</title>" and "alt="Yellowfin"," within the response body.

By combining these matching conditions, the module determines whether the target software exhibits the expected behavior or characteristics associated with Yellowfin Information Collaboration.
