About Techdetector

This a web fingerprinting application, it detects back end technologies of a given domain by using the node module wappalyzer. And the app also finds the whois information and GeoIP location by using freegeoip. You can also print the report if you want to.

Intro

The goal of Technology Detector is to help web developers, Security researchers, Domain Buyers and web designers find out what technologies web pages are using which might help them to decide what technologies to implement themselves. One of the key areas of web application fingerprinting is penetration testing. One of the first tasks when conducting a web application penetration test is to try to identify the version of the web server and the web application. The reason for that is that it allows us to discover all the well-known vulnerabilities that are affecting the web server and the application. Tech Detector can also help businesses with its website technology profiler tool which provides details about a website like what technology, programming language, content management system and the web server used while building the website. There is also a facility to find the domain details when a domain is given which is called Whois. So to identify and track a domain is not an easy task. Tech Detector has a facility to look up the domain details also. The Application can also find the IP address used by the domain name, Also track down the server Geolocation. The pairing of IP address to a geographical location is called geolocation. This application can track country, state, city, latitude, and longitude of an IP address.

Basic tasks Techdetector can do for you.

1. Find Whois Information
2. Find IP Geolocation
3. Find the applications, frameworks, and other technologies used.
4. Print Generated Report
