against it to detect what kind of server running. This may find any default or well-known in the server. We should use Nikto's options to increase its effectiveness. Like we can useflag used to specify a string that identifies a custom 'Not Found' page.
We request the server's root directory, specifying the IP address in the Host header, and determine if the application responds with any different content. If it happens then we need to again run Nikto against the IP address as well as the server name.Identify Identifier-Specified Functions We need to identify any instances where specific web application functions are accessed by passing an identifier of the function in a request parameter. We have discovered that the mechanism is being used to access individual functions. Like if the website uses a parameter that contains a function name, first we need to determine its behavior. When an individual function is specified, and we should try to establish an easier way to identify when a valid function has been requested . We should compile a list of common function names or cycle through the syntactic range of identifiers in use. Also, we can automate this task to identify valid functions as quickly & easily as possible. If needed & applicable we can compile a map of web application content based on the functional paths unlike the URL's, showing all the founded functions and the logical paths and dependencies between them.We need to find some website's pages or functions where debug parameters are hidden, likeWe should make a list of common debug parameters like debug, source, test hide, and their common values like true, yes, no, and 1. On POST requests, we should check by submitting permutations of each name or value pair to each target. Try them on both in URL string and request body. We can automate this by using BurpSuite's Intruder to make a combination and permutations of two payload lists. We also check the application's response for any anomalies that may include that the added parameter had an effect on the website's processing.The above methods will help us to know much more about a target website. In the next part, we are going to go about analyzing our target website.
