Multiple options can be used by stringing the numbers together, i.e. This enables the intrusion detection evasion in LibWhisker. If you want see IDS evasion techniques use the following command. + / - Redirects to, Default Sybase Jaguar CTS server running. + / - Redirects to, Cisco VoIP Phone deafult web server found. + / - Redirects to, Default Jrun 2 server running. + / - Redirects to, Appears to be a default Apache install. + / - Redirects to, Default EMC ControlCenter manager server is running. + / - Redirects to, Appears to be a default Apache Tomcat install. + / - Redirects to, Default EMC Cellera manager server is running. + PHP/4.3.1 - PHP below 4.3.3 may allow local attackers to safe mode and gain access to unauthorized files. + 2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 - TelCondex Simpleserver 7 Build 3289 and below allow directory traversal with '/./' entries. + The root file (/) redirects to: + PHP/4.3.10-16 appears to be outdated (current is at least 5.0.1) Scan is dependent on "Server" string which can be faked, use -g to override The standard test (assuming you've installed Nikto directly on your server)

Scan multiple ports: nikto -h server_ip_address -p 4544,4640 Scan a port: nikto -h server_ip_address -p 4544 Scan a server: This output will show lot of information. Options: Get all available options: nikto -Help Let’s see some commands to perform web scanning. There are also some checks for unknown items which have been seen scanned for in log files. These items are usually marked appropriately in the information printed. There are some items that are “info only” type checks that look for things that may not have a security flaw, but the webmaster or security engineer may not know are present on the server. Not every check is a security problem, though most are. However, there is support for LibWhisker’s anti-IDS methods in case you want to give it a try (or test your IDS system). It will test a web server in the quickest time possible and is obvious in log files or to an IPS/IDS. Nikto is not designed as a stealthy tool.

Scan items and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated.

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. 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.
