+Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive
+tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 3500 potentially
+dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 900 servers, and version specific
+problems on over 250 servers. Scan items and plugins are frequently updated and
+can be automatically updated (if desired).
+
+Nikto requires libwhisker2 and Net-SSLeay perl modules, both of which are
+available in the SlackBuilds.org repository.
