Use Nikto through a Proxy

Using a Proxy If the machine running Nikto only has access to the target host (or update server) via an HTTP proxy, the test can still be performed. There are two ways to use a proxy with Nikto, via the nikto.conf file or directly on the command line. To use the nikto.conf file, set the PROXY* variables (as described in section 4), and then execute Nikto with the -useproxy option. All connections will be relayed through the HTTP proxy specified in the configuration file. perl nikto.pl -h localhost -p 80 -useproxy To set the proxy on the command line, use the -useproxy option with the proxy set as the argument, for example: ./nikto.pl -h localhost -useproxy http://localhost:8080/ http://cirt.net/nikto2-docs/usage.html#id2740995
