[Nikto-discuss] multi port, multi server scanning

[Sullo]

Sorry for not responding sooner, this got lost in my inbox.

Despite major memory usage enhancements by David, it's still one of the larger challenges when using nikto against a long list of hosts/ports. You can try using the nocache option to reduce the amount of data stored, but you might be better off trying to break up the scan into smaller chunks.

It doesn’t matter if I use a provided list or use nmap live output, it does not work. I have also tried tweaking global perl settings involved in allocation of memory and processing time, and it has made no difference. The system is an intel core 2 duo with 3 GB of DDR2 RAM.
