What is it Nikto tool on Kali Linux distribution
There is a mass of vulnerability scanners on the internet to test your web applications on the net. However, if you want to test intranet or internal software, you have the possibility to use Personne web scanner. Personne is an open-source scanner and you can use it with any web server (apache, nginx, ihs, ohs, litespeed, etc.).
It sounds like an internal tool of choice for web server scanning. It is capable of scanning over 6700 items for configuration errors, risky files, etc.
And some of the features include. What is Nikto? It is a web vulnerability scanner written in perl and licensed under gpl. Its function is to test the security of your web server configuration (http options, indexes, potential xss vulnerabilities, sql injections etc…)
Disclaimer to be used only on your own servers. The scan is noisy, and generates several tens of lines of logs with your ip in the apache logs or in any ids.
The interest is to find vulnerabilities at home to secure our web servers. Nikto is a tool pre-installed in kali linux, it allows to make a quick audit of your web server.
In this article I will work on a local web server hosted in a virtual machine under vmware. In the post I will audit a classic apache2 configuration.
Nikto allows you to customize your requests with options like using ssl, uploading files, or using a different port than 80. A kind of big toolbox to secure your apache.
What is it Kali Linux ?
Kali linux is a gnu/linux distribution released on March 13, 2013, based on debian. The distribution has taken over from backtrack. The objective of kali linux is to provide a distribution that brings together all the tools needed for security testing of an information system, including penetration testing.
Since the 2016 version, Kali Linux is available pre-installed with a large number of desktop environments5. These include: gnome, kde, lxde, mate, enlightenment and xfce, which you can choose when you download. Kali linux is a gnu/linux distribution based on Debian released in 2013.
It follows Backtrack, which was based on Ubuntu. The objective of this suite of programs is to group together the tools needed for security testing of a computer system: penetration testing, sniffing, reverse engineering, password cracking, vulnerability research, etc.
The distribution is very easy to use, even for beginners. Its large collection of applications has helped many Internet users to better secure their systems. The development was led by mati aharoni and devon kearns during the rewrite of backtrack, their previous ubuntu-based Linux distribution dedicated to infosec. The third lead developer then joined them as a debian specialist. Kali Linux is based on Debian testing. Most of the packages used come from the debian repositories.
Kali Linux is developed in a secure development environment, where only a few trusted people are allowed to contribute by changing packages, and each package is signed by its developer.
