Nikto is an open-source web server and CGI scanner written in Perl, included in Kali Linux, designed for identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in web applications.

Using LibWhisker for HTTP requests, Nikto supports SSL, proxies, cookies, and evasion techniques, with a pluggable database of over 6,700 checks. It outputs reports in HTML, CSV, JSON, or XML, making it ideal for penetration testers, security analysts, and DevOps teams.
