+Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs
+comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including
+over 6100 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated
+versions of over 950 servers, and version specific problems on over
+260 servers. It also checks for server configuration items such as
+the presence of multiple index files, HTTP server options, and will
+attempt to identify installed web servers and software. Scan items
+and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated.
 
-Nikto is designed to examine web servers and look for items in multiple 
-categories:
+It uses Rain Forest Puppy's LibWhisker (wiretrip.net) for HTTP
+functionality, and can perform checks in HTTP or HTTPS.  It also
+supports basic port scanning and will determine if a web server is
+running on any open ports.
