Known issues or bugs.

WhatWeb

  • Don't use aggressive modes with website spidering as it will repeat the tests and URL requests.
  • :regexp matches are case sensitive, you can make then case insensitive by appending i, eg. /foobar/i will match FOObar
  • The MD5 hashing algorithm is used not for it's security but for it's speed as a hashing algorithm especially compared to SHA1
  • Redirects without valid certificates return ERROR: EOF error end of file reached
  • Abnormal HTTP headers abort the request, ie.Shoutcast Administrator ( "ICY 200 OK" "ICY 400 Server Full" )

Libraries

  • Anemone: The Anemone spider doesn't following 302 redirects
  • Anemone: Timeout settings do not apply to the Anemone spider
