I. Footprinting Web server Using the httprecon Tool

Scenario

Web applications are the most important ways for an organization to publish information, interact with Internet users, and establish an e-commerce/e-government presence. However, if an organization is not rigorous in configuring and operating its public website, it may be vulnerable to a variety of security threats. Although the threats in cyberspace remain largely the same as in the physical world (e.g., fraud, theft, vandalism, and terrorism), they are far more dangerous as a result. Organizations can face monetary losses, damage to reputation, or legal action if an intruder successfully violates the confidentiality of their data.
