    Nikto is well suited for scanning web server-related vulnerabilities for small and medium enterprises. We can utilise it for checking server default files and security misconfigurations. It is not suited well for some users because it is CLI based tool and not a GUI based. Also, community and OEM support are not available for this tool.
