Default location of nikto.conf on Windows #33

Closed sullo closed 3 years ago

sullo commented 11 years ago

Under Unix/Linux?/BSD/Mac OS X; Nikto looks in /etc for nikto.conf (then checks $HOME, then checks .). As Windows has no equivalent of /etc (other than %SystemRoot?%) we need to decide on a sensible location for system wide home of nikto.conf.

We may need to roll this into an "official" nikto location on Windows, maybe %programfiles%\nikto.

This can be worked around by placing nikto.conf into %userprofile%

Wouldn't a relative path be best? ./conf/nikto.conf ?

IIRC, the original intent was to have a system wide location as well as the local/relative to the install. You'd have to ask Dave tho--hopefully he'll be on github soon :)

Since this doesn't seem to be a big issue, closing as won't fix.
