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?

Drupal probe path used to fingerprint Drupal installations

What an attacker could do

A response here fingerprints a Drupal install, signaling scanners to launch Drupal-specific exploits such as Drupalgeddon SQL injection and remote-code-execution attacks.

How to defend it

Return a clean 404 for fingerprinting probes, keep Drupal core and modules patched, and place a WAF rule in front of known Drupal exploit paths.
