Yeah for example Nikto for one runs a huge list of scans against things you've never even heard of. Its a real "throw the kitchen sink at it" approach. I do find stuff occassionally with it but yeah that'd explain it. For eg. It'll test for a blah blah blah Content Management system even when there never was one.

If you use any pre-built applications like phpBB or osCommerce, you should make sure they are up-to-date. -tom [1] http://secunia.com/advisories/cve_reference/CVE-2006-7183/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire Methodologies & Tools for Web Application Security Assessment With the rapid rise in the number and types of security threats, web application security assessments should be considered a crucial phase in the development of any web application.
