Nikto offers a way to export scans to Metasploit so that it gets easier when you try to exploit systems based on the scan results from Nikto. I wrote a detailed article on Metasploit recently and you can find it here.

Professional pen-testers use Metasploit almost every day. Metasploit is a powerful framework that lets you do everything from scanning to exploiting systems.

You can choose from CSV, HTML, nbe ( Nessus format), SQL, txt, and XML: > nikto -h -o scan.csv -Format csv Nikto Output formats How to Pair Nikto with Metasploit You can also use the -Format flag to specify an output format.

To export a scan result, use the -o flag followed by the file name: > nikto -h -o scan.txt When you are a professional pen-tester, you don't want to repeat scans very often unless there are major changes to the web application. Nikto will perform a basic scan on port 80 for the given domain and give you a complete report based on the scans performed: Nikto Domain Scan To perform a simple domain scan, use the -h (host) flag: > nikto -h Since Nikto is a command-line tool, you can use the help command to get a list of options: > nikto -Help How to Scan a Domain You should have written permission before you ever try to scan a system or network. Warning:īefore we get into scanning, I want to emphasize that I am not responsible for any damage you do trying to attack systems.

Now that you know what Nikto is and how to install it, let's go ahead and run some scans. It can be downloaded from here: Ĭomplete installation instructions for all platforms can be found here. If you don’t have Nikto on Kali (for some reason), you can get Nikto from GitHub or just use the “apt install nikto” command.įor installing Nikto on Windows, you must first install the Perl interpreter.

If you’re using Kali Linux, Nikto comes preinstalled and will be present in the “Vulnerability Analysis” category. Since Nikto is a Perl-based program, it can run on most operating systems with the necessary Perl interpreter installed.

Is configured with a template engine to easily customize reports.

Guess credentials for authorization (including many default username/password combinations).

Check for server configuration items like multiple index files, HTTP server options, and so on.

Saves reports in plain text, XML, HTML or CSV.

Includes support for SSL (HTTPS) websites.

Identify installed software (via headers, favicons, and files).

Find SQL injection, XSS, and other common vulnerabilities.

Here are some of the cool things that Nikto can do: It is currently maintained by David Lodge ( you can find his blog here), though other contributors have been involved in the project as well. It is written in Perl and was originally released in late 2001. Nikto was written and maintained by Sullo, CIRT, Inc. Nikto can also perform checks for outdated web servers software, and version-specific problems. Nikto can perform comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple security threats, including over 6700 potentially dangerous files/programs. Nikto is an open source web server and web application scanner. Since most websites are not backed by strong technical teams, it is important to understand website and web application security to protect your organization. Unfortunately, websites are also one of the most unsecured gateways through which an attacker can exploit your company. From your nearby florist to global brands, almost everyone uses a website as part of their branding. Websites are a critical part of almost every business or organization in the world.
