Install and use Nikto in Ubuntu

Nikto is an open-source (GPL) Web Server scanner that can scan Web servers in a variety of ways, including more than 3300 types of potentially dangerous file CGIs; more than 625 Server versions; more than 230 specific server problems. Scan items and plug-ins can be automatically updated (if needed ). Provides underlying functions based on Whisker and libwhisker. This is a great tool, but its software itself is not updated frequently and the latest and most dangerous ones may not be detected. Nikto is written by ChrisSullo.
