Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

info.php

PHP info page

What an attacker could do

A phpinfo() output page discloses the PHP version, loaded modules, full filesystem paths, environment variables, and configuration, giving attackers precise targeting data and sometimes leaked secrets or credentials.

How to defend it

Delete diagnostic phpinfo scripts from production webroots, disable the phpinfo function via disable_functions, and ensure such files return a clean 404 without revealing the stack.
