Information

HTTP Response Headers contain information that could enable an attacker to gain access to an information system. Failure to prevent the sending of certain HTTP Response Header information to remote requesters exposes internal configuration information to potential attackers.

Solution

Navigate to 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters'.

Create REG_DWORD 'DisableServerHeader' and set it to '2'.

Note: This can be performed multiple ways; this is an example.
