Nikto

馃暩 Web Scanning 路 Perl

Nikto is a classic open-source web server scanner that identifies potentially dangerous files, outdated server software, and version-specific security issues. Written in Perl, it performs comprehensive assessments of web server environments, including CGI scanning and SSL support checks. Nikto's ability to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities makes it a staple tool in web security testing, particularly for legacy systems and environments requiring thorough scrutiny.
