Nikto description by Sullo: Nikto is designed to examine web servers & look for items in multiple categories: - misconfigurations - default any file & scripts - insecure any file & scripts - outdated software It uses Rain Forest Puppy´s LibWhisker (wiretrip.net) for HTTP functionality, & can perform checks in HTTP or HTTPS. It also supports basic port scanning & will determine if a web server is running on any open ports. Nikto checks & code made to be automatically udpated from the main distribution server by using the ´update´ option (see below) to ensure Nikto is checking the most latest vulnerabilities. Nikto will also load person defined checks at startup if they´re placed in a file named ´user_scan_database.db´ in the plugins directory. Unlike scan_database.db, this file will not be over-written if the -update option is used. This should always be used if you add your own checks (and you should send those checks to sullo@cirt.net). Nikto leaves a footprint on a server it scans--both in an invalid 404 check & in the User-Agent header. This made to be changed by forcing the $NIKTO{fingerprint} & $NIKTO{useragent} to new values in the source code, OR, if any IDS evasion (-e) option is used. Note that it is pretty obvious when Nikto is scanning a server anyway--the big number of invalid requests sticks out a lot in the server captures, although with an IDS evasion technique it might not be extremely obvious that it was Nikto.
