[Gilbert Daniel]

Hi there!

 

  I would like to know how to prevent the detection from webalizer for prestashop 1.6.1.3.

 

 

Thanks.

Can you please specify exactly what you want to do ?

 

1) To ban Prestashop bots on your stats you can use even .htaccess, a paid back-office module for this (for PS back-office stats), or others resources (firewall, ip-tables, etc.) on your server (ask your provider).

 

Prestashop bots IP-block: 91.240.109.0/24, and yes Prestashop is using crawlers/bots for to collect data with unknown purposes.

 

2 ) If you don't want to use webalizer, so you surely can disable it on your cPanel (or whatelse you are using).

Hello

 

   I don't want to show the technology that is using in my website from the IDENTIFY SOFTWARES such as Wappalyzer.

This is a browser feature.... If you don't want that browsers read your server environment, so only by software encryption. But this is a sensitive case at server base, not a Prestashop question.

Hi,

 

We had tried to change the same in the past but it's completely impossible. As per the Wappalyzer JSON i.e. 

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AliasIO/Wappalyzer/master/src/apps.json

 

These are the following parameters on the basis of Wappalyzer detects the PrestaShop CMS.

 

"headers": {
	"Powered-By": "^Prestashop$"
},
"html": [
  "Powered by <a\\s+[^>]+>PrestaShop",
  "<!-- /Block [a-z ]+ module (?:HEADER|TOP)?\\s?-->",
  "<!-- /Module Block [a-z ]+ -->"
],
"icon": "PrestaShop.svg",
"implies": [
  "PHP",
  "MySQL"
],
"js": {
  "freeProductTranslation": "\\;confidence:25",
  "priceDisplayMethod": "\\;confidence:25",
  "priceDisplayPrecision": "\\;confidence:25"
},
"meta": {
	"generator": "PrestaShop"
},
"website": "http://www.prestashop.com"

 

 

1. Header: Power By (Can be removed by making changes in the core files)

 

2. html: Power By can be removed. but in the PS default module, there is HTML comment like (<!-- /Module & <!-- /Block). Which is the very lengthy process & removed those HTML comments from PS modules.

 

3. icon: View Source page should not have PrestaShop.svg. It's possible.

 

4. Meta, Websites: These can also be removed from the page source 

 

5. js: More tricky part is removing the JS variables like freeProductTranslation, priceDisplayMethod, priceDisplayPrecision. You can find those variables on the view page source. You can search & replace those variable in the complete code (including the third party modules). So its very time consuming & risky process. You might break everything.

Sorry for bumping the old thread but I actually understand what the OP want. He only want to avoid any technologies detect that he is using Prestashop framework. What he asking for is similar to a plugin called hide-my-wp for wordpress (and that plugin is considered as a security plugin, yes hiding your platform from public is considered one of the security approaches .. so he is asking a security question which he did not specify more)

 

 but I don't think this plugin exist for Prestashop as Prestashop code is harder to understand compared to wordpress. Hopefully there is one available.
