Course Description

Nikto is a simple, open-source web server scanner that examines a website and reports the vulnerabilities found on the website, that could be exploited. It is considered the industry standard for a vulnerability scanning tool for websites.

This tool is not designed as a stealthy tool, so its activities will be noticeable in IDS/IPS systems or other similar utilized detection mechanisms. This tool performs a comprehensive scan, scans over 6700 vulnerable programs/directories and checks configuration of the server including multiple index files, backup files lying on the server etc. This tool also supports SSL and HTTP proxy.
