Nikto

The Nikto skill scans web servers for vulnerabilities, checking for dangerous files, outdated software, risky HTTP settings, missing security headers, and default content. It is used when a user requests an audit of web server configuration, identification of outdated components, detection of exposed files, or verification of misconfigurations on a host they are authorized to test. This skill benefits security professionals and system administrators who need a thorough, automated assessment of web server security posture.
