./nikto.pl -Version

Nikto 2.5.0 (LW 2.5)

Hi! These are not errors. This looks like the output of the -dbcheck option, which checks the syntax of the db_* files in the databases folder. It is reporting the total number of entries and no syntax errors.

This should only happen with -dbcheck and not with -Version--can you confirm?

Here is my output of -Version:

perl nikto.pl -Version
Nikto 2.5.0 (LW 2.5)

Yes, that’s right, this only happens in -dbcheck, I apologize for the confusion in the question. Thanks, good luck
