As with any type of application assessment, you need to fingerprint the application first and then move ahead with the assessment. Tools like SinFP will help you fingerprint the OS. AppPrint will help you scan an IP range, a single IP or host for Web and Application servers.
AppPrint scans port 80 for a particular target and tries to deduce the banner using httprint methodology. This is it’s first step, some what like HTTPrint. It also makes use of signatures.txt and for other specialized fingerprinting, it makes use of ajaxfinger-db. In the next step, it uses method of forced plug-in invoke and scan for application server type, where it tries to fingerprint Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere, Orion, ColdFusion and Resin. It also fingerprints Web 2.0 libraries and components.
