Nikto Description

Nikto is a web server scanner that is open-source and licensed under the GPL, designed to conduct thorough examinations of web servers for a variety of issues, including the detection of over 6700 potentially harmful files and programs. It assesses outdated versions across more than 1250 server types and identifies version-specific vulnerabilities on over 270 different servers. Additionally, Nikto evaluates server configurations by checking for the existence of multiple index files and various HTTP server options, while also attempting to recognize the web servers and software that are installed. The items and associated plugins for scanning are regularly updated, with options for automatic updates available. Unlike stealth tools, Nikto operates quickly and is likely to leave traces in log files or be detected by intrusion prevention systems. Nonetheless, it includes features for LibWhisker's anti-IDS methods for those who wish to test their systems. It’s important to note that while many checks may uncover security issues, not every scan result indicates a problem. Ultimately, Nikto serves as a valuable resource for administrators looking to secure their web servers effectively.
