Let’s see how we can set up and start pen-testing with Nikto. This why it is often regarded as industry standard among several whitehat communities around the globe. Unlike other web scanners, where the information is presented in a complicated, and almost indecipherable format, Nikto unambiguously calls attention to each and every vulnerability and within the first draft of the report that it presents. And this is very fortunate of us, as Nikto is otherwise a juggernaut that far outdoes its alternatives when it comes to web scanning. So a blackhat misusing it is easily detected. This could allow the user agent to render the content of the site in a different fashion to the MIME type + Retrieved x-aspnet-version header: 1.1. One of the distinguishing aspects of Nikto that separates it from other scanners and legitimizes it as strictly a pentester is that it cannot be used stealthily. This header can hint to the user agent to protect against some forms of XSS + Uncommon header 'microsoftofficewebserver' found, with contents: 5.0Pub + The X-Content-Type-Options header is not set. It is an open-source utility that is used in many industries all over the world. Nikto is a state of the art web scanner that rigorously forages for vulnerabilities within a website or application and presents a detailed analysis of it, which is used to further the exploitation of that website.
