HTB Academy HTTP Requests and Responses /Question 2–3

In this section, we will be tested dynamics of HTTP request and response, usage of “curl” command in order to obtain information from server.

Let’s dive into questions;

• What is the HTTP method used while intercepting the request? (case-sensitive)

First question is pretty simple that you can get the answer from the narrative of lesson. We will use basic ‘GET’ request to intercept the request as shown below.

command:curl http://x.x.x.x:xxxx

• Send a GET request to the above server, and read the response headers to find the version of Apache running on the server, then submit it as the answer. (answer format: X.Y.ZZ)

Basically we need response headers in order to answer the question.

Command: curl -I http://x.x.x.x:xxxxx

Good Luck!
