Web server vulnerability scanning identifies dangerous files, outdated software, and misconfigurations by checking the server against a database of over 6700 known issues. It detects common setup errors and default files that could be exploited by attackers.
To perform a DAST security assessment, initiate a comprehensive scan against your target web server. This dynamically tests the server to ensure it is hardened against common attacks by identifying outdated software and configuration problems before application deployment.
Yes, you can scan for outdated server software and dangerous files. The scanning process checks the web server to detect over 6700 potential issues, including default files, server configuration problems, and outdated software versions that pose security risks.
Yes, you need the Nikto executable installed and accessible in your system's PATH to run these security assessments. The scanning functionality relies entirely on this external tool to perform dynamic application security testing and web server hardening checks.
The limitations of web server misconfiguration detection include relying on a predefined database of known issues, meaning zero-day vulnerabilities or custom logic flaws may be missed. It primarily detects common setup errors, default files, and outdated software rather than complex application vulnerabilities.
