gixy: Analyze nginx configuration but skip specific tests.
$ gixy --skips ${http_splitting}
try on your machine

The command "gixy --skips ${http_splitting}" is using the Gixy tool with the "--skips" option to exclude a specific vulnerability check called "http_splitting".

Gixy is a tool used for static analysis of Nginx configuration files to identify potential security misconfigurations or vulnerabilities. It scans the configuration file and provides recommendations or warnings for any problematic settings.

The "--skips" option allows you to specify specific vulnerability checks that you want to exclude from the analysis. In this case, "${http_splitting}" refers to the vulnerability check related to HTTP splitting, and it is being skipped by the command.

By skipping the "http_splitting" vulnerability check with this command, Gixy will only perform the analysis for other potential vulnerabilities and provide recommendations or warnings related to those.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
