Hiding apache version
If you run a curl on your website similar to the curl below, does it return apache versions?
This is NOT secure. We will now make a simple change to the httpd.conf or apache2.conf file to hide this
Example curl:
curl -LIsX GET lukeslinux.co.uk | grep -i apache
Value | Description |
---|---|
ServerTokens Prod | This will configure apache not to send any version numbers in the HTTP header |
Server Signature Off | This will make sure apache does not display version number in footer of server generated pages |
To hide the php value, turn the following value Off
ServerSignature On;You will also need to change the following value:
ServerTokens ProdRestart apache and you are done. Test again by rerunning the curl command.
