    Talk Description:
    Jeremiah Grossman presented a talk at Black Hat Singapore 2002 on Oct.
    3, 2002 entitled " Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future
    of Web Server Fingerprinting"
    
    Many diligent security professionals take active steps to limit the
    amount of system specific information a publicly available system may
    yield to a remote user. These preventative measures may take the form of
    modifying service banners, firewalls, web site information, etc.
    
    These countermeasures lead us to the obvious question; could it STILL
    possible to determine a web servers platform and version even after all
    known methods of information leakage prevention have been exhausted
    (either by hack or configuration)?
    
    Proof of concept tools and command line examples will be demonstrated
    throughout the talk to illustrate these new ideas and techniques.
    Various countermeasures will also be explored to protect your IIS or
    Apache web server from various fingerprinting techniques.
