Nikto is an Open Source web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6700 potentially dangerous files/programs, checks for outdated versions of over 1250 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers.
I have installed Nikto2 on my gentoo machine and started a demo by typing
nikto -h 192.168.4.1
To my surprise it came up with an error
Undefined subroutine &LW2::init_ssl_engine called at /usr/bin/nikto line 66.
Tried to find a solution on google but couldn’t so i have looked at the error again and then fired my vi
vi /usr/bin/nikto
and commented the line
LW2::init_ssl_engine($CONFIGFILE{‘LW_SSL_ENGINE’});
bingo !!!! it worked an now i am able to use Nikto. So basically i have disabled the SSL support and it worked.
Hope it will help you guys as well !!! Happy Hacking ….
