This is a nice addendum to the "Let Us Identify Your Stack" style web services tho I guess some of them might already provide this. It does have the somewhat negative effect of making potentially vulnerable websites more visible to lower order hackers (I'm assuming more proficient ones have automated discovery tools like this anyway).
There are browser extensions that do this same thing. It's pretty trivial to do.

Why do you think this is any easier than just scraping urls off the internet
I'm always surprised by the mindset of the person you're replying to. I learned a few years ago from some DEFCON video[0] that someone had figured out a way to do a (basic) port scan of the whole internet in ~1 day (or something like that). Thing is... it really shouldn't have been that surprising. Although network latency isn't getting that much better year by year (c = c), the amount of data you can process in bulk…

#44Finally, a place that can gather IP addresses and associate them to specific security products to have them hacked later. Just what I've been waiting for.
Wait until you hear about shodan...

Alternatively, secure your stack and don’t have it hacked later.

We don't store anyones IP address and the results are only in memory cached.

In fact, there's a tool that claims to scan the internet in 6 minutes: https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan
"This program spews out packets very fast. On Windows, or from VMs, it can do 300,000 packets/second. On Linux (no virtualization) it'll do 1.6 million packets-per-second. That's fast enough to melt most networks."

Port scanning is a real and established thing that anyone who is even thinking of security has known about normally for decades, but port scans don't tell everyone what your whole stack consists of. Maybe you'd like to share why sharing your stack with everyone is a good idea? I'd really like to know. Thank you.
(I should add that I forgot to mention that IpV6 does make the whole "PortScan the Internet" business a tad more complicated, so that's than argument against me.)
