Is it possible to find technolgy name of a web application using session tokens?

Question

Hi. I am trying to find out information about a web application, mainly the technology that is used for building it. I have session tokens of the web application. Can I find the technology using these tokens?

Answer 1

If the web application uses web servers that generate session tokens by default then the token names might provide information about the technology. For example:

• JSESSIONID — The Java Platform
• ASPSESSIONID — Microsoft IIS server
• ASP.NET_SessionId — Microsoft ASP.NET
• CFID/CFTOKEN — Cold Fusion
• PHPSESSID — PHP
