PHP : Hide PHP version information from curl
By default, PHP will expose its version information when query by curl -I
and you may want to hide the version information to prevent a potential attacker from gaining more information.
For example:
localhost:~ admin$ curl -I https://www.socketloop.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.4.6
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: keep-alive
Vary: Accept-Encoding
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.25
<------ hereAccess-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:21:40 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache
To turn off the version information. Do the following on the webserver's PHP configuration :
vi /etc/php.ini
look for expose_php = On
line
change it to expose_php = Off
and this will cause PHP not to send over the version information when queried.
