Description:
We covered Load Balancing Detection using LBD in a previous video. In this one, we will cover a more advanced and stable tool called Halberd. Halberd detects HTTP based Load Balancing by using a host of techniques - differences in HTTP response headers, timestamps, cookies and a couple other techniques. We will run Halberd on Msn.com and see how it is able to figure out that there are actually 15 servers behind the load balancer running various versions of the IIS web server.
I would highly recommend that you download Halberd and try it out. This tool is a must have when pentesting SaaS based installations.
