 Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs
 comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over
 6400 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated versions of
 over 1200 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers. It
 also checks for server configuration items such as the presence of
 multiple index files, HTTP server options, and will attempt to identify
 installed web servers and software. Scan items and plugins are frequently
 updated and can be automatically updated.


 Nikto is not designed as an overly stealthy tool. It will test a web
 server in the quickest time possible, and is fairly obvious in log files.
 However, there is support for LibWhisker's anti-IDS methods in case you
 want to give it a try (or test your IDS system).


 Not every check is a security problem, though most are. There are some
 items that are "info only" type checks that look for things that may not
 have a security flaw, but the webmaster or security engineer may not know
 are present on the server. These items are usually marked appropriately in
 the information printed. There are also some checks for unknown items
 which have been seen scanned for in log files.

 Nikto is written by Chris Sullo and David Lodge.
