Why Nikto Web Vulnerability Scanner is Easily Detected - With Wireshark and NMAP
Nikto is an open-source web server scanner designed to assess the security vulnerabilities of web servers. It is commonly used by security professionals, system administrators, and penetration testers to identify potential weaknesses in web applications and servers.
Nikto works by performing a comprehensive scan of a targeted server. It sends HTTP requests to the server and analyzes the responses to detect various types of vulnerabilities, misconfiguration, and known security issues.
But this is easily detectable by IDS. Hence hackers do not use it. We will show you why it is easily detectable using NMAP and Wireshark
