Understand origin data and redirect data

Prev Next

To help users establish the path of data when analyzing query results, Web Scanner makes use of origin_xxx and redirect field names as search parameters.

Origin data

origin_xxx data represents the initial piece of data that a scan was conducted on.

Example

The origin_url value "http://3.1.104.127" points to the url value "https://blinkit.com/store-locator"

Here's a list of current origin_xxx field names, and their associated data types:

  • origin_domain
  • origin_hostname
  • origin_ip
  • origin_path
  • origin_port
  • origin_scheme
  • origin_url

Combined origin and destination searches

When searching for a domain, hostname, path or url, the matching origin_xxx field is also searched automatically.

This is supported for exact matches, wildcard matches, and regular expression matches.

Example

The query domain = silentpush.com automatically searches domain and origin_domain

For negative matches, using != or!~=, only the given field is searched.

'Redirect' data

The redirect field name gives a boolean response that indicates whether a redirect was detected during the connection.

The redirect_to_https field name gives a boollean response that indicates if the redirect led to a HTTPS connection.

The redirect_list field name provides a list of all redirects that occurred during the connection.

Example

The origin_url http://20.160.240.124 redirects via:

→ https://20.160.240.124//sslvpn/Login/Login

→ https://20.160.240.124//sslvpn/Login/Login?CheckCookieSupport=1

→ https://20.160.240.124//sslvpn/Login/Login (final destination)

In the above example, the redirect_list field name would contain https://20.160.240.124//sslvpn/Login/Login, https://20.160.240.124//sslvpn/Login/Login?CheckCookieSupport=1, https://20.160.240.124//sslvpn/Login/Login, and both redirect and redirect_to_https would be set to "True".
