The web server banner is grabbed in the get_banner function.

set_target parses whatever is passed to it by the -hosts option and turns  
it into a list of targets (in the %MARKS hash). The %MARK hash is  
documented in the documentation.

parse_hostfile does what it says on the tin if a hostfile is passed or an  
nmap file is sent through stdin, it'll parse it and return an array of  
hosts.
