Short of us forcing the header response or meta generator tag to declare Textpattern is powering the website (which we would never do, as we believe in the security and privacy of our users) […]
We sort of do this at the moment if you include feed syndication, so I opened github.com/textpattern/textpattern/issues/1488 for consideration.

I do not use <meta name = "generator" />. For security.
Often I observe such actions:
It is better not to give hints to crackers.

@singaz. I see that all the time in my daily logs, too. Script kiddies gonna hack low hanging fruit, regardless of whether you advertise what system you’re running or not.
Virtually nobody tests what you’re running first to target exploits. It wastes processor cycles. Fire and forget is the name of the game. I estimate 70% of the exploits people try against my site start with /admin (WordPress) or are attempts to fashion DB queries that target Magento loopholes. I’ve never run either on my systems, ever.
If I added generator="WordPress" or generator="Galactic Badger" to all my Txp sites, I’d get the same bad traffic hackers.

I’ve been doing this for years. Since the TXD times at least. Never had a complain:)
