CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS: If you would like collaborate in this project join with us.

Collection of HTTP and HTML metadata information in order to categorize its relevance as a sign of possible security weakness or signs of hardening in any website. The final goal is to raise web security awareness (assessing favourably the signs of hardening and assessing negatively the signs of weakness) with an overall interpretation of this information from any website.

Examples of Metadata assessing
Weakness signs Hardening signs
MetaGenerator[Joomla! 1.5 X-Frame-Options[SAMEORIGIN
Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-XSS-Protection
Apache/2.2.22(Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 UncommonHeaders[x-varnish

Proof of concept in Spanish


This information collected plus more input from other OWASP projects as Top 10 2013-Top 10, will serve as the basis for the development of the OWASP Unmaskme Project as a web service.
