Question

I am running an OpenCart application and noticed that Wappalyzer is able to identify the PHP framework used.

I checked the headers as well using HTTPLiveHeaders but

Answer 1

This is easy to solve, if you know the details Wappalyzer looks for. ;)

According to the Wappalyzer Source Code on Github the identification of OpenCart is currently based on the following two things:

• the route - ?:index\\.php\\?route=[a-z]+/
• "Powered By" - Powered By <a href=\"[^>]+OpenCart

So the answer is:

You can hide Opencart by altering your routing and removing the powered by message.

Keep in mind that this is a totally moving target. They change the detections, you have to follow... spiral ahead. From my point of view, it doesn't make sense to hide the tech.
