[Nikto-discuss] Non integer pause times not working as expected

[Dave Wray]

Hi,

 

I installed Time::HiRes (v1.9725), the module's path is in my @INC path, but
I still cannot get this to work.

 

Nikto reports that it is pausing .5 seconds, but the web server log shows a
much faster rate. Is anyone else able to confirm if they have this working
as expected? Not just reporting 0.5 seconds pause but actually pausing
between requests for that time.

 

Anything I can try?

 

Many thanks

 

D

Do you have the TIme::HiRes module installed? If you do, any valid number  >
0 should work. For example:

 

sullo$ ./nikto.pl -h localhost -Pause .5

-***** Pausing .5 second(s) per request *****

 

If you don't have Time::HiRes you can still use Pause but you can only use
whole seconds. This may be what is tripping you up? 

 

Regards,

Sullo

All,

 

I'm having trouble setting non-integer pauses times such as 0.5 seconds. 

Nikto 2.1.5 (fully updated) seems to treat values less than 1 as zero.

 

Thanks in advance.
