-Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive
-tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6700 potentially
-dangerous files/programs, checks for outdated versions of over 1250 servers,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 a stealthy tool. It will test a web server in the

-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

-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.
