Nikto is a perl open source web server scanner which supports SSL. Nikto checks for (and if possible attempts to exploit) over 2400 remote web server vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It also looks for outdated software and modules, warns of any version specific problems, supports scans through proxies (with authentication), host Basic authentication and more. Data is kept in CSV format databases for easy maintenance, and supports the ability to automatically update local databases with current versions on the Nikto web site.
