WhatWeb recognizes websites. His goal is to answer the question, “What is this website?”. Recognizes web technologies, including content management systems (CMS), blogging platforms, statistics / analytics packages, JavaScript libraries, web servers, and embedded devices.
WhatWeb has over 1700 plugins, each to identify something different. WhatWeb also identifies version numbers, email addresses, account identifiers, web framework modules, errors SQL and more.
WhatWeb can be hidden and fast, or deep but slow. When you visit a site with your browser, data sharing includes many tips on what web technologies feed that site.
Sometimes a single web visit contains enough information to identify a site, but when it does not, WhatWeb can further search the site. The default level of aggression, called "stealthy", is the fastest and requires only one HTTP request from a site. More aggressive ways of using it in penetration testing have been developed.
Most WhatWeb plugins are thorough and recognize a range of clues from the subtle to the obvious. For example, most WordPress sites can be identified by the meta-HTML tag, e.g. " ', but a minority of WordPress sites remove this identifier, but that doesn't stop WhatWeb.
The WordPress WhatWeb plugin has over 15 trials, which include favicon checking, default installation files, login pages, and "/ wp-content /" checking in related links.
