What You Can Find From the Outside Without Server Access

1. What Is a Configuration Audit

Analysis of publicly available HTTP responses and DNS records — no authentication, no active interference. Only external configuration is assessed: HTTP headers, TLS/SSL, DNS, open ports. No vulnerabilities are exploited. No load on the server.

2. Tools

curl — HTTP server response

openssl s_client — TLS connection check

dig — DNS record lookup

/dev/tcp — open port detection without nmap

All of this runs on Android via Termux, without root.

Domain: any — with the owner's permission. For this audit: an AI-generated product on a Netlify subdomain — adorable-dodol-5ab32d.netlify.app

Method: publicly available data only, no authentication, no server load.
