Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a penetration test you open a TCP connection to a target's web server on port 80 and manually issue a HEAD / HTTP/1.0 request. The reply includes the header line:

Server: Apache/2.4.54 (Ubuntu) OpenSSL/1.1.1f PHP/8.1.2

From a secureā€configuration standpoint, which change in the Apache configuration would best stop disclosing this detailed product and version information to potential attackers?

  • Reduce the "Timeout" directive to 10 seconds to limit request duration.

  • Set "ServerTokens Prod" and disable "ServerSignature" in httpd.conf to suppress banner details.

  • Lower the "MaxRequestWorkers" value to restrict simultaneous client connections.

  • Add "KeepAlive Off" in apache2.conf to close idle connections immediately.
