PoweredBy
This is a generic signal that fires when a page or its headers contain a self-declared “Powered by” statement naming the software behind the site. ScanMalware records the value during the scan.
Because it is self-declared, the claim can be accurate, stale or deliberately faked — it is a weak hint about the underlying stack rather than a reliable identification.

How ScanMalware detects PoweredBy
PoweredBy is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that PoweredBy is present, but how it is being used.
