A Holistic Approach for Cyber Security Vulnerability Assessment Based on Open Source Tools: Nikto, Acunitx, ZAP, Nessus and Enhanced with AI-Powered Tool ImmuniWeb

This paper describes a cyber security vulnerability assessment methodology powered by AI tactics. The AI-powered tool “ImmuniWeb AI” effectively supported the tools of the suggested approach by automating a number of vulnerability management process tasks, including scanning, evaluation, prioritizing, and remediation. The recommended methodology makes use of the Nikto, Acunitx, Nessus, and ZAP proxy tools, which have been improved by the ImmuniWeb AI online tool, to quickly and effectively scan target systems in order to identify any vulnerabilities. Using such a variety of tools with a wide range of expertise practically produced a comprehensive method that can identify system vulnerabilities and generate well-written reports with appropriate remedy recommendations depending on the vulnerabilities' scores and level of danger. As a result, the outcomes showed how effective the suggested methodology.
