[Nikto-discuss] Port Range Scanning Broken?

[Sullo]

Since most of you aren't members of Assembla, and the update is going to
require a new packaging of Nikto (since it's in a place that the
auto-updater can't currently handle), I wanted to let you know that a
patch from deity is available if this functionality is critical and not
working for you:

Trac bug info: https://trac2.assembla.com/Nikto_2/ticket/23
Patch info: https://trac2.assembla.com/Nikto_2/changeset/29

Much thanks to Thorin for reporting & deity for fixing.
