Hello everyone! I am running Tumbleweed on my vaio laptop. I downloaded the .rpm package of nikto but when i installed it via terminal it shows me the following error:ERROR: Can’t find/read required file “/var/lib/nikto/databases/db_parked_strings” Died at /var/lib/nikto/plugins/nikto_core.plugin line 1180. Can you help me?

Hi
Looks like a packaging bug, none of the databases are present… I see it’s up to version 2.1.6 let me branch and update.

Hi
OK, it’s by design, as root user add the -update switch to download the databases and plugins.


nikto -update
