: I was wondering if anyone has created/used any type of script (or better : program)for nikto or wikto. The problem as many have with nikto is all : of its false positives. Is there any way to automatically validate its : findings or some other tool that performs the same tests and gets better : more accurate results. It is very time consuming trying to validate 20+ : different hosts, when most of them spit back false positives. Nikto 2 (currently beta) has a much better engine and set of rules that help detect the web servers giving odd replies, leading to the false positives. Initial testing shows a huge improvement for this. Hopefully Sullo can find some more time soon to get it released. I'd also encourage people to help contribute signatures to make it even more thorough =) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
