Description: WebApp Information Gatherer
This package contains a web application information gathering tool, which can
identify numerous Content Management Systems and other administrative
applications.
.
The application fingerprinting is based on checksums and string matching of
known files for different versions of CMSes. This results in a score being
calculated for each detected CMS and its versions. Each detected CMS is
displayed along with the most probable version(s) of it. The score calculation
is based on weights and the amount of "hits" for a given checksum.
.
wig also tries to guess the operating system on the server based on the
'server' and 'x-powered-by' headers. A database containing known header values
for different operating systems is included in wig, which allows wig to guess
Microsoft Windows versions and Linux distribution and version.
