I would love to see comments and tips on this post, I will be updating when ever I find anything new and useful!
Example, you know when you go to a website and try to access a page that does not exists
Example http://thetvdb.com/asdawdasd
Look how much information I get about the server!
Now lets visit Apache.org/asdawdaw
This is The Desired Not Found Page. This is accomplished by editing
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf && sudo service apache2 restart
Go all the way to the bottom and add
##CUSTOM ENTRYS## ServerSignature Off ServerTokens Prod
The first one, ServerSignature Off tells Apache not to display the server version on error pages, or other pages it generates.
The second one ServerTokens Prod tells Apache to only return Apache in the Server header, returned on every page request.
You want BOTH(For SURE) -- *I THINK* ServerTokens Prod has more to do with what is getting passed in the background via http as well as what is displayed, and ServerSignature Off is purely about what is displayed to user via browser.
##REMOVE INDEX.HTML AKA WELCOME SCREEN
sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html && sudo touch /var/www/html/index.php
