MacNikto's Nikto Changes
In order to make Nikto work transparently within the MacNikto interface, MacNikto references a slightly customized version of Nikto's config.txt file.
Changes to Nikto's default config.txt file at /usr/local/nikto/macnikto_config.txt
Some features in Nikto prompt for interaction, such as when a new server type is encountered. In order to prevent such a situation from stalling MacNikto, the installed config.txt has set PROMPTS=no.
For privacy considerations, MacNikto no longer automatically submits server version strings to CIRT.net. If you wish to contribute to the Nikto server types database, change UPDATES=no in /usr/local/nikto/macnikto_config.txt to UPDATES=auto.
The final change required for Nikto to work properly from the GUI is to use Set EXECDIR=/usr/local/nikto/plugins
For more information, please consult the CONFIG FILE section in the Nikto documentation.
