HTTP Prober

HTTP Probing & Technology Fingerprinting

"Fast HTTP/HTTPS prober — discover live hosts, technologies, redirects, and response details."

▶ Scan with HTTP Prober
Overview

HTTP Prober is the essential first step before running any deeper web scanner. It probes each target over HTTP and HTTPS, determines if the host is alive and responding, and collects a wealth of information from the response: status codes, titles, content-type, server headers, redirect chains, content length, and detected technologies.

For bulk scanning scenarios, running HTTP Prober first across all discovered subdomains tells you which ones are live HTTP services worth scanning further. Dead hosts, HTTPS redirects, and parked domains are identified immediately — saving hours of scanner time on targets that aren't real web applications.

Example findings
HIGHHTTP Basic Auth Dialog on /admin — Credential Brute-Force Risk
MEDIUMHTTP Used Instead of HTTPS — Unencrypted Traffic
MEDIUMServer Header Exposes nginx/1.14.0 — Outdated Version
INFOWordPress 6.2 Detected — title: "Just another WordPress site"
What it discovers
  • ▸HTTP and HTTPS availability (which hosts are live)
  • ▸HTTP status codes (200, 301, 403, 500, etc.)
  • ▸Page titles — often reveals application type
  • ▸Server header (nginx, Apache, IIS, Cloudflare)
  • ▸Technology fingerprinting (React, WordPress, Laravel, etc.)
  • ▸Redirect chains and final destination
  • ▸CDN detection (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront)
