# Discover MacNikto

MacNikto is an Open Source AppleScript GUI shell script wrapper built in Apple's Xcode and Interface Builder. It provides easy access to a subset of the features available in the Open Source, command-line driven Nikto web security scanner, installed along with the MacNikto application.

Nikto performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 3500 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 900 servers, and version specific problems on over 250 servers.

### Why MacNikto?
| The goal of MacNikto is to make Nikto's basic web server scanning and reporting more accessible by providing an easy to use interface. Tool tips are provided for many of the interface elements to help you recall their function or dependencies.

Please act responsibly and use only on servers of your own or those for which you have permission!
