Nikto Web Server Vulnerability Scanning Explained (2025)
In this video of Cyber Security Tutorial, I demonstrate how to use Nikto, an open-source web server scanner, to detect and fix vulnerabilities in a safe Kali Linux lab. From installation to scanning, reviewing reports, and verifying fixes — this tutorial is beginner-friendly and hands-on.

What you’ll learn (theory + practical):
What is Nikto & why it’s used for web server vulnerability scanning
Install & set up Nikto on Kali Linux (with PHP demo server)
Scan local web apps to detect misconfigurations, phpinfo, exposed configs, robots.txt leaks
Save detailed reports for analysis & documentation
Remediation workflow: remove sensitive files, move configs, add security headers
Re-scan with Nikto & compare before/after reports (prove fixes)
Ethical & safe use — run only on your own or authorized lab environments

Who should watch: Students, beginners, sysadmins, ethical hackers, and anyone preparing for cybersecurity jobs.

Legal Disclaimer:
This video is created strictly for educational use only. All scans were performed on a local demo lab environment. Never scan public or third-party systems without explicit written permission. Misuse is illegal and solely your responsibility.

Don’t just scan — learn how to fix what you find!
