Welcome to Pluralsight and the cybersecurity tools course featuring
Nikto, the open source web server scanning tool developed and
maintained by Chris Sullo and David Lodge.
Members of blue and red teams, as well as penetration testers, need to
understand how an attacker can quickly identify security vulnerabilities and
misconfigurations associated with web application servers.
Nikto can do precisely that. With Nikto,
you can scan a web server to find vulnerabilities, run
the scans through a proxy, set static cookies, or replay
individual positive findings.
If you are seeking to learn how you can use Nikto towards
reconnaissance efforts during security engagements or if you just want
to learn how attackers can perform these activities,
join me, and learn how to find web server
vulnerabilities using Nikto here, at Pluralsight.
