***Using Nikto through a HTTP proxy bound with SSL***
Scenario:
Address to scan (host) is: 127.0.0.1:10443
Through the proxy (useproxy): 10.11.1.252:8888
Our command would look like...
perl /usr/bin/nikto -host https://127.0.0.1:10443 -useproxy http://10.11.1.252:8888
This will fail because there is a known issue with the SSL auto function in the /etc/nikto.conf file
First edit: /etc/nikto.conf
