CMS Detection
Identify which CMS a website is using from public signals — name, evidence, version when it is exposed, and a confidence rating.
Warning: Authorised use only. Use this tool for authorised security-assessment recon only. You must have permission to test the target.
Install
pip install lupaxa-cms-detection
cms-detection --help
CLI
cms-detection https://example.com
cms-detection https://example.com --active
cms-detection urls.txt --format json --output results.json
python -m lupaxa.cms_detection --version
Default mode uses the homepage plus a few well-known public files for CMS
that already scored on that page. --active adds broader path probes, and
when the homepage has no signal it also walks the catalogue's confirm files.
A path is never a hit from HTTP 200 alone.
Library
from lupaxa.cms_detection import detect
result = detect("https://example.com", active=False)
print(result.cms, result.version, result.confidence)
Development
make init
make python-install-dev
make python-check
