Drupal site forensics

Submitted by clemens on Wed, 2008/09/24 - 10:41am

What tools do we have for a forensic research of a Drupal site. This question popped into my head after seeing a request on the consulting mailing list.

My naive approach is

wget -r -l 1 example.com

This way we get a one link level deep site of which we can grep the modules used on these pages. Then grep -r -h "modules" | sort -u gives a nice idea of the modules used.

But this beauty gives us the full file names.

grep -h -r -o "[[:alnum:]\/]*modules[[:alnum:]\.\/]*" * | sort -u | xargs -I {} echo {}

Getting all the named stylesheets

$> grep \$Id *

So is this site safe? And what version is it using?

The we need to get the CVS TAGS from ie http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/robots.txt?revision=1.7.2.... to see this is a member of DRUPAL-5.8, 5.9 or 5.10

With this we get the HTML which contains the CVS Tags

wget --header="Accept: text/html" "http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/robots.txt?revision=1.7.2....


To get the revision out of the downloaded file we need something like this


grep -h "\$Id.*,v" * | grep -o "[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9\.]*"
