[Nikto-discuss] Error While Update - Nikto version 2.1.4

[Christian Heinrich]

Sullo,

The issue appears to have been resolved at 11AM AEST i.e.

root at bt:/pentest/web/nikto# ./nikto.pl -update
+ Retrieving 'db_tests'
+ Retrieving 'db_outdated'
+ CIRT.net message: Please submit Nikto bugs to
http://trac2.assembla.com/Nikto_2/report/2
root at bt:/pentest/web/nikto# ./nikto.pl -update
+ No updates required.
+ CIRT.net message: Please submit Nikto bugs to
http://trac2.assembla.com/Nikto_2/report/2
root at bt:/pentest/web/nikto#

Would you be able to amend the instructions at
http://cirt.net/nikto2-docs/usage.html#id2727312 on how to update nikto by
hand, i.e. without -update, using curl/wget/browser from within the
/nikto/plugins directory?
