How can you distinguish between a Fortigate management page and a VPN login page during penetration testing?

You can differentiate them by the redirect URL. The management page redirects to `/login?redir=%2F`, while the VPN login page redirects to `/remote/login?lang=en`. Directly accessing the IP and examining the response helps identify which page is returned. For more on similar identification techniques, see the other articles in the Penetration Basics series, such as Zimbra version detection.
