Re: Apache vulnerability checking

I don't get any results when I scan with Retina - Apache Chunked Scanner. Although I have patch the I should still see resulting outcome of the scan.

The server specs:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 17:22:17 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.24 (Unix) mod_perl/1.25 PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_ssl/2.8.8 OpenSSL/0.9.6

ETag: "2581e-16e9-3cbeedab"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 5865

Any ideas on how I can test to see if my server is still vulnerable?

Thanks in advance.

That's interesting.. If you sniff the tool, you'll see it does a HEAD, and
then posts to x.html  with a chunk encoding..  It seems to be doing more
than just reading the version on the banner. (This is as of 2 hours ago,
maybe they updated their tool).

It appears to actually exploit it for the testing. I didn't trace the tool
it self, only from what the packet capture says.
