Remove vBulletin Message Board Name and Logo from Wappalyzer

[aaronhaul]

Hello Guys,

I want to remove or stop browser plugins like Wappalyzer or other similar browser plugins for Mozilla, Opera, Chrome, Safari; to automatically detect the script used for the vBulletin Message Board site. With browser plugins like Wappalyzer, users, individuals and intruders can easily know how to detect what type of Website Script used without even having access or going through the source files.

See attached photo - areas marked with red box:


Does anyone know how to remove or stop this from displaying in the right hand corner of URL Address bar or any similar positions for each type of browser. I know this has to do with, maybe editing the vBulletin source file, but I do not know where exactly.

Please advise.

Most people can tell a vBulletin powered site regardless of what it looks like. Futhermore as you're required to leave the copyright in the footer people really don't have to look far to find that information...
On top of that, anyone with browser developer tools can simply inspect an element of the board and see that it is 'vbulletin_html' ..

So really I think that trying to hide that would take more time than it is worth personally. If somebody wants to find that information they will.

You would pretty much need to go out of your way, to hell and back 3 or 4 times, to be able to make the software unrecongizeable.

Just look at the source code generated for your page, and how often "vbulletin" is present in function names or file names (like css). you'd virtually have to rewrite the software.
