Enumeration

Method

Description

Port Scanning

ColdFusion typically uses port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS by default. So, scanning for these ports may indicate the presence of a ColdFusion server. Nmap might be able to identify ColdFusion during a services scan specifically.

File Extensions

ColdFusion pages typically use ".cfm" or ".cfc" file extensions. If you find pages with these file extensions, it could be an indicator that the application is using ColdFusion.

HTTP Headers

Check the HTTP response headers of the web application. ColdFusion typically sets specific headers, such as "Server: ColdFusion" or "X-Powered-By: ColdFusion", that can help identify the technology being used.

Error Messages

If the application uses ColdFusion and there are errors, the error messages may contain references to ColdFusion-specific tags or functions.

Default Files

ColdFusion creates several default files during installation, such as "admin.cfm" or "CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm". Finding these files on the web server may indicate that the web application runs on ColdFusion.

nmap -p- -sC -Pn 10.129.247.30 --open

Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-03-13 11:45 GMT

Port 8500 is a default port that ColdFusion uses for SSL. Navigating to the IP:8500 lists 2 directories, CFIDE and cfdocs, in the root, further indicating that ColdFusion is running on port 8500.
