Subject: [PEN-TEST] Finding Web Admin Pages


Some Web servers seem to allow administration via HTTP.
Obviously, there is
not a link on the home page "Click here to administer the server"!
Instead, the pages are hidden away - security through
obscurity.  I want to
be able to find them.


Thanks,

Julian

Not exactly what you meant, but Sun's Java-Web-Server
is using 9090/tcp and 9091/tcp to send you a java applet
of the administration GUI. It's also worth noting that the
default UserName/Password is admin/admin, IIRC.
