Website Overview
The available information shows a mix of normal operation and configuration gaps. Depending on how the website is used, these gaps may affect secure access or the consistency of its public presentation.
Domain and Registration
Unknown
DNS and Email
The lowest TTL is 11 seconds, supporting rapid record changes at the cost of more frequent lookups. Nameservers are provided by columbia.edu, indicating managed DNS hosting. MX records point to the Microsoft 365 email service. SPF and DMARC are configured. DKIM status is unknown. TXT records include verification markers for Google, Microsoft. Such markers may also remain after a service stops being used.
TLS and Certificates
The certificate includes the organization field London School of Economics & Political Science. The certificate issuer is Sectigo Limited, a commercial certificate authority. The certificate uses an RSA 2048-bit public key, offering broad client compatibility. The server supplied a complete certificate chain. The certificate is valid for about 198 days in total, with 148 days remaining.
HTTP and Browser Security
The response lacks these common security headers: CSP, Permissions-Policy, clickjacking protection. No X-Powered-By header was found, reducing one common source of backend fingerprinting information. No obvious internal addresses or debug information were found in the headers. No explicit CDN or WAF marker was found in the response headers. No CORS permission header was found, so browsers normally restrict cross-origin script access.
Technology Stack Analysis
The public page identifies Contensis without precise versions, leaving fewer clues for version-specific scanning.
