nikto.pl update ERROR #449

Closed ubuntutest closed 7 years ago

ubuntutest commented 7 years ago

Hello, I am trying to update the nikto, but i'm getting the following error like other users.

`~/nikto/nikto/program# perl nikto.pl -update
+ ERROR (404): Unable to get cirt.net/nikto/UPDATES/2.1.6/versions.txt`
~/nikto/nikto# git pull
Already up-to-date.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

How to solve that? thank you

The git versions should only be updated via git.

I don't understand. I downloaded the zip file and I uploaded it on ftp. Does not work. I downloaded the file with git clone. Does not work. I tried to give git pull, reading some old posts. Still not working

Pulling down either the zip or the clone git will give you the absolute latest source. git pull won't show any updates until someone commits a change to the git repository.

Well, so whats the problem? Why it wont works?

  1. nikto -update is deprecated for the git version. I should probably patch that.
  2. You have the latest version - there's nothing up update to

Clear and simple, thank you

I've added a deprecation message just to state this explicitly. I'm still keeping the code for now as this will all change as of 2.2.0.
