WHATWEB
Whatweb is a tool which tells what is the website. Whatweb can identify all sorts of information about a live website, like:
Platform
CMS platform
Type of Script
- Google Analytics
- Web server Platform
- IP address, Country
- 900+ Plugins & their libraries used
- Server Headers, Cookies and a lot more.
Whatweb offers both passive scanning and aggressive testing. Passive scanning just extracts data from HTTP headers simulating a normal visit. Aggressive options get deeper with recursion & various types of queries & identify all technologies just like a vulnerability scanner.

Options
TARGET SELECTION
Enter URLs, hostnames, IP adddresses,
filenames, or nmap-format IP address ranges.
--input-file=FILE, -i Read targets from a file. You can pipe
hostnames or URLs directly with -i /dev/stdin.
TARGET MODIFICATION
--url-prefix Add a prefix to target URLs.
--url-suffix Add a suffix to target URLs.
--url-pattern Insert the targets into a URL.

AGGRESSION
The aggression level controls the trade-off between speed/stealth and
reliability.
--aggression, -a=LEVEL Set the aggression level. Default: 1.
1. Stealthy Makes one HTTP request per target and also
follows redirects.
3. Aggressive If a level 1 plugin is matched, additional
requests will be made.
4. Heavy Makes a lot of HTTP requests per target. URLs
from all plugins are attempted.
HTTP OPTIONS:
--user-agent, -U=AGENT Identify as AGENT instead of WhatWeb/0.4.9.
--header, -H Add an HTTP header. eg "Foo:Bar". Specifying a
default header will replace it. Specifying an
empty value, e.g. "User-Agent:" will remove it.
--follow-redirect=WHEN Control when to follow redirects. WHEN may be
`never', `http-only', `meta-only', `same-site',
`same-domain' or `always'. Default: always.
