[Nikto-discuss] Nikto needs an update on thttpd?

[Peter Wang]

Hi Sullo,

Thank you for reply. Nikto update works now after I specified -useproxy
option. I didn't realize it needs to specify -useproxy at 1st try.

It received two file's updates as below,

-bash-3.00# ./nikto.pl -update -useproxy
+ Retrieving 'db_tests'
+ Retrieving 'db_outdated'
+ www.cirt.net message: Please submit your bugs!!

But thttpd entry didn't get updated, it still has 2.24 as current version.

-bash-3.00# grep thttpd db_outdated
"600787","thttpd/","2.2426oct2003","@RUNNING_VER appears to be outdated
(current is at least @CURRENT_VER)"

-Peter
