This is why I always attempt to turn off as much version information output as possible from any service. Make the pentester do their homework and not just look at "Apache 2.XX"

Hopefully you also have an internal control that looks at actual package versions installed on the server.

This is actually a take away that I did implement. it's one of those that's not actively a vuln, but might provide info on what other attacks to try.

Normally I do that too, but this was fairly new and internal application that was still in development, so that's why it was there. And if it wasn't for this incident, they might actually trick our management into thinking they're somehow qualified to carry out such an audit.
