Identification Configuration

The identification task can be configured to use any subset of service identification filters. The filters are defined in a YAML file provided to the identifier at initialization.

YAML Structure

  service:
    - name: {name of the service}

            object: {content | url}
            value: {text}  // if simple, substring to find; if xpath, the xpath to execute
      versions:
