Techniques for web framework detection

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for analyzing documents to detect web components and the web frameworks in the documents. In at least one embodiment, a network analysis system is provided to passively detect web frameworks of documents. The network analysis system can render a document using a document object model to identify objects in the document that are defined as web components. A hash function may be applied to each of the objects to generate a hash signature for the object. Files defining web frameworks can be downloaded from a repository system. Each file may corresponding to a web component. A hash function is applied content in each file to generate a hash signature. The hash signatures of each file may be compared to the hash signatures of the objects in the document to identify a web component for each object. A web framework can be identified based on the web components.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
