What is Nikto

Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6400 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated versions of over 1000 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers. It also checks for server configuration items such as the presence of multiple index files, HTTP server options, and will attempt to identify installed web servers and software. Scan items and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated. Nikto is not designed as an overly stealthy tool. It will test a web server in the quickest time possible, and is fairly obvious in log files. (From: http://cirt.net/nikto2)

Setting up your Linux Firewall Distribution (Part 1)

Today I'm going to show you how to get start. In order to create a network you must design it in paper, visio, or any kind of drawing that shows your plan. If you don't create some kind of drawing your network will not be very efficient. This drawing was done Microsoft new version of visio which is still in beta it called visio 2010 and yes I do have a legit license for it. The way that I design this is setup as two networks instead of one. Reason why you may ask because Network A is does not have a speed restriction and not monitor. Network B is has a speed limit and it is monitor. This is a basic drawing for this configuration. Remember the computer that your going to use must have at least two network cards. Let's break it down the red line named eth0 is your unfilter internet access which your trying to protect. eth1 is the green line which is your internal network which means that anything inside that network is protected. The blue line is optional, but I use it f...

Learning Linux

Learning linux from the ground up is really a challenge. As you progress even more you start customizing your OS from how it starts and how it shutdown. As soon as you start on a Live CD your x server is pretty much either gnome or KDE. I mean it looks easy to do, but as soon as you start research how the x server it can get trick. My recommendation is to also learn the bash line or command prompt. if your good with the line commands then reconfiguring your computer shouldn't be a problem, but you just learn the GUI layer of it and not the line commands believe me your going to have hard time restoring your computer. As I ask people around they say linux is hard to install. The easiest way to partition your drive manually is like this. sda1 /home -- This is where you want to store all your data in case your linux gets corrupted. This space can be as big as you want sda2 /swap -- Linux is just like windows it needs it virtual space. The swap size depends on your phys...
