Note it is not possible to fully remove the Server header in Apache without resorting to editing the source code and, although this is not actually that difficult, I do not think it is necessary to go that far. There will be equivalent settings for other web servers and this link may help with the most common ones. # Note you need both below as the "always" one doesn't work with Jboss for some reason # Hide X-Powered-By and Server headers, sent by downstream application servers: #Remove the footer from error pages, which details the version numbers: #Reduce Server HTTP Header to the minimum product (Apache) rather than showing detailed version information of the server and operating system The following settings in Apache will reduce server headers: It's of no benefit to your website visitors so switch them off. Jboss, NodeJs, PHP) also set the "X-Powered-By" HTTP Header by default, which similarly is an unnecessary risk to display the software you are using. Again this is unnecessary information for the web server to show in my opinion. For example the default 404 page will show that you are running Apache and potentially the webmaster e-mail address you have configured. for Apache) then at least changing it to provide the minimum information.Īpache by default will also give server signature information on certain error pages. So I recommend removing this header, or when this is not possibly (e.g. an Apache server will send certain headers and in certain order) but that's not 100% reliable and even then it won't give up OS information. Security by obscurity shouldn't be your only form of defence, but that doesn't mean security is any better by willing stating you're running vulnerably versions of software, if you haven't been able to upgrade them yet! Granted there are ways of finger-printing the server (e.g. Now personally I disagree, and certainly when they are sending detailed version information and the OS information. The idea of "security through obscurity" is a myth and leads to a false sense of safety. Also note that disabling the Server: header does nothing at all to make your server more secure. Setting ServerTokens to less than minimal is not recommended because it makes it more difficult to debug interoperational problems. Some people at Apache disagree, and have even gone so far as adding this to the official documentation: It is easy to look up particular vulnerabilities once you know the version number. In my opinion there is no real reason or need to show this much information and, I definitely do not think it should be the default. 1950- Published: (1999)įaces of exile in Old Testament historiography by: McConville, J.
