[Nikto-discuss] Port Range Scanning Broken?

[Thorin Oakenshield]

Has anyone experienced the following issue? Any ideas/insight?

Dashed ranges appear to be broken, i.e.:

$ perl nikto.pl -findonly -h host.com -p 80-82
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Nikto 2.02/2.03     -     cirt.net
+ No HTTP(s) server found on host.com / 80-82
+ 1 host(s) tested

Comma separated ranges seem to work:

$ perl nikto.pl -findonly -h host.com -p 80,81,82
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Nikto 2.02/2.03     -     cirt.net
+ Server: http://host.com:80     Microsoft-IIS/6.0
+ No HTTP(s) server found on host.com / 81
+ No HTTP(s) server found on host.com / 82
+ 1 host(s) tested

Single ports seem to work:

$ perl nikto.pl -findonly -h host.com -p 80
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Nikto 2.02/2.03     -     cirt.net
+ Server: http://host.com:80     Microsoft-IIS/6.0
+ 1 host(s) tested
