[Nikto-discuss] How to disable prompt to send database update?

[Brandon Perry]

If for some reason none of those work, I hacked around this before knowing
the real answer like this.

echo "n\r" | nikto ...

Of course this would be supported at all, and could break on a whim.

See nikto.conf--you probably want to use PROMPTS=no.  Also, the -ask
option has similar effect as the UPDATES value.

# Nikto can submit updated version strings to CIRT.net. It won't do
this w/o permission. You should
# send updates because it makes the data better for everyone ;)  *NO*
server specific information
# such as IP or name is sent, just the relevant version information.
# UPDATES=yes   - ask before each submission if it should send
# UPDATES=no    - don't ask, don't send
# UPDATES=auto  - automatically attempt submission *without prompting*
UPDATES=yes

# Prompt... if set to 'no' you'll never be asked for anything. Good
for automation.
#PROMPTS=no
