This software allows users to identify web servers located behind HTTP load balancers. It helps them understand their server architecture and make informed decisions based on accurate data.
The heavy traffic loads faced by websites invariably necessitate the deployment of load balancer devices. These machines conceal multiple real web servers behind a virtual IP, thereby receiving and redirecting HTTP requests. This process ensures an even distribution of traffic amongst the real servers.
Halberd streamlines the process of identifying the real servers behind virtual IPs while offering user-friendliness in the execution of its functions. The tool has undergone successful integration and testing with well-known operating systems such as Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and Windows 2000.
