00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:09.730
Welcome to Pluralsight and the cybersecurity tools course featuring

00:00:09.730 --> 00:00:13.770
Nikto, the open source web server scanning tool developed and

00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:16.550
maintained by Chris Sullo and David Lodge.

00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:20.630
Members of blue and red teams, as well as penetration testers, need to

00:00:20.630 --> 00:00:24.990
understand how an attacker can quickly identify security vulnerabilities and

00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:28.650
misconfigurations associated with web application servers.

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.540
Nikto can do precisely that. With Nikto,

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.050
you can scan a web server to find vulnerabilities, run

00:00:36.050 --> 00:00:41.230
the scans through a proxy, set static cookies, or replay

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:42.850
individual positive findings.

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:46.890
If you are seeking to learn how you can use Nikto towards

00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:51.060
reconnaissance efforts during security engagements or if you just want

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.580
to learn how attackers can perform these activities,

00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.630
join me, and learn how to find web server

00:00:56.630 --> 00:00:59.680
vulnerabilities using Nikto here, at Pluralsight.
