Talk Description:
Jeremiah Grossman presented a talk at Black Hat Singapore 2002 on Oct.
3, 2002 entitled " Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future
of Web Server Fingerprinting"

Many diligent security professionals take active steps to limit the
amount of system specific information a publicly available system may
yield to a remote user. These preventative measures may take the form of
modifying service banners, firewalls, web site information, etc.

These countermeasures lead us to the obvious question; could it STILL
possible to determine a web servers platform and version even after all
known methods of information leakage prevention have been exhausted
(either by hack or configuration)?

Proof of concept tools and command line examples will be demonstrated
throughout the talk to illustrate these new ideas and techniques.
Various countermeasures will also be explored to protect your IIS or
Apache web server from various fingerprinting techniques.
