4.4. Web servers

Every type of web server has its purpose and its unique fingerprint. To give the students the feeling of the real world, various web servers are running. They don’t serve content, they are just lurking around for fingerprinting and bannergrabbing. The following web server are available.

• 4.4.1. apache
• 4.4.2. cherokee
• 4.4.3. darkhttpd
• 4.4.4. droopy
• 4.4.5. flask
• 4.4.6. http-server (node.js)
• 4.4.7. lighttpd
• 4.4.8. mongoose
• 4.4.9. nginx
• 4.4.10. pywebserve
• 4.4.11. tomcat

To run all web servers on one machine it’s needed that they use different ports. Table below shows the ports and the assigned web server.

Port	Server
80	lighttpd
8000	droopy
8008	cherokee
8080	tomcat
8800	apache
8808	nginx
8880	pywebserve
8888	http-server
8889	mongoose
8887	darkhttpd
8886	flask

At the moment most web servers don’t support https. This is a task for the future. The only web server with SSL support on the FSL Test bench is nginx.
