#nikto

Web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6700 potentially dangerous files/programs.

  • To update to the latest plugins and databases.

perl nikto.pl -update

  • The most basic Nikto scan requires simply a host to target:

perl nikto.pl -h 192.168.0.1

  • To check on a different port.

perl nikto.pl -h 192.168.0.1 -p 443

  • Ports and protocols may also be specified by using a full URL syntax.

perl nikto.pl -h https://192.168.0.1:443/

  • Scan multiple ports in the same scanning session.

perl nikto.pl -h 192.168.0.1 -p 80,88,443

  • Set the proxy on the command line.

perl nikto.pl -h localhost -useproxy http://localhost:8080/
