Nikto Web Scanner

Nikto is an open-source web server scanner designed to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security issues in web applications and servers.

It performs comprehensive scans to detect common vulnerabilities, such as outdated software versions, security misconfigurations, and potential risks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and directory traversal.

Nikto’s extensive database of known issues and its ability to generate detailed reports make it a valuable tool for security professionals seeking to assess and improve web server security.

While it provides valuable insights, it is often used alongside other advanced tools for a more thorough security evaluation.
