Simple question: I am working on a website and want to display a page with some useful information about the web server, but without providing useful information to any potential hacker.

What kind of (server) information is safe to share and how do I get this information when using Visual Studio 2008?

+1  A: 

The SO blog has an article named "What Was Stack Overflow Built With?". IMHO, the level of information given here seems reasonable - it satisfies my curiosity, but does not give away any critical information (version numbers of web server etc).

I would recommend you not to use any automated measures to display this data. Make the list yourself, containing only the information you want to publish, and update it manually if you want to notify the world about any change.
