Hello,
The OWASP testing guide has a small piece on error codes which may
help but more needs to be added. If you would like to contribute
please contact myself via the OWASP site.
regards,

Hello list,

I'm kinda developing a web application security vulnerability scanner.
It's going to be open source with a metasploit-like interface.

I have finished the interactive shell interface but I want the system to
be modularized,
so new recon techniques can be added using simple XML files.

BUT, in order to identify vulnerabilities I need some error codes
generated by different platforms like Python/Perl/ASP/etc. during attacks.

For example, if a PHP application has a file inclusion vulnerability
and the vulnerable variable is "file" the parameter:
"file=some_non_existent_file.foo"
Would trigger the error:

*Warning*:  include(some_non_existent_file.foo) [function.include <http://localhost/%7Ezapotek/fis/function.include>]: 
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in */home/zapotek/public_html/pen_test/vuln.php* on line *13

*I think you got what I'm saying. :)

Regards,
Zapotek.*
