I. SUMMARY:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The BlindElephant Web Application Fingerprinter attempts to discover the version
of a (known) web application by comparing static files at known locations against
precomputed hashes for versions of those files in all all available releases.
The technique is fast, low-bandwidth, non-invasive, generic, and highly automatable.

II. PREREQUISITES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Python == 2.6.x (greater than 2.6.x may work, less than probably will not; neither is tested)
III. INSTALLATION (via distutils):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
python setup.py install
IV. EXAMPLE USAGE (command line):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ python BlindElephant.py
Error: url and appName are required arguments unless using -l, -u, or -h
Usage: BlindElephant.py [options] url appName
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PLUGINNAME, --pluginName=PLUGINNAME
Fingerprint version of plugin (should apply to web app
given in appname)
-s, --skip Skip fingerprinting webpp, just fingerprint plugin
-n NUMPROBES, --numProbes=NUMPROBES
Number of files to fetch (more may increase accuracy).
Default: 15
-w, --winnow If more than one version are returned, use winnowing
to attempt to narrow it down (up to numProbes
additional requests).
-l, --list List supported webapps and plugins
Use "guess" as app or plugin name to attempt to attempt to
discover which supported apps/plugins are installed.

V. EXAMPLE USAGE (as library):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$python
>>> from blindelephant.Fingerprinters import WebAppFingerprinter
>>>
>>> #Construct the fingerprinter
>>> #use default logger pointing to console; can pass "logger" arg to change output
>>> fp = WebAppFingerprinter("http://laws.qualys.com", "movabletype")
>>> #do the fingerprint; data becomes available as instance vars
>>> fp.fingerprint()
<snip>(same as above)</snip>
>>> print "Possible versions:", fp.ver_list
Possible versions: [LooseVersion ('4.22-en'), LooseVersion ('4.22-en-COM'), LooseVersion ('4.23-en'), LooseVersion ('4.23-en-COM')]
>>> print "Max possible version: ", fp.best_guess
Max possible version: 4.23-en-COM
