@sullo Hello, can you have a look at this PR please :)

I rarely use Docker so I'm not fully qualified. @tautology0 or @mostafahussein would be better suited (I think) if they can.

This is looks good to me, Can we just make it Run as a Docker container: instead ?

Also we can replace this # from the nikto directory with the following:

git clone https://github.com/sullo/nikto.git
cd nikto

@mostafahussein Good remarks :) I've pushed another commit addressing them.

@NicolasCARPi Great!, I would like to suggest another example in case someone wanted to save the reports on the host.
So basically we need to mount a volume and then specify the path on the host and inside the container so we can have a copy of reports when the scan is done
for example:

-v /path/to/reports/on/host:/path/to/reports/inside/container

You can get more details about reports in nikto through this: https://cirt.net/nikto2-docs/reports.html.

I will accept the PR when you two are happy 💯

This looks good so far, if we can get the last commented change in... that it for now?

@mostafahussein I have added more examples of usage.

I chose to bind the volume to /tmp inside the container, because the default export dir is also the one with the program and mounting it would break things. /tmp is empty so it's a good fit for this purpose.

Note 1: nikto is executed as root in the container so the resulting exported file is owned by the root user of the host system.

Note 2: it seems the json export is broken, because the json is invalid, but that's for another issue :)

EDIT: I see that the whole file is changed, this is because my system automatically fixed the line endings of the file (remove CRLF line terminators), which I think is a good thing. I might also make another PR to remove some tabs that are present in some lines in the code.

EDIT2: oh in fact there is a .editorconfig in the repo, that's why my editor changed it :] (two weeks ago I didn't have the editorconfig plugin in my vimrc).

Ok so we good here for now? With some additional issues to open:

• JSON Export Invalid
• Nikto runs as root in Docker

@sullo Yes and I am working on the user issue and some other modifications, one of them related to the reports file permissions that @NicolasCARPi mentioned and I think the PR will be ready by tomorrow. If you are going to open an issue for the user part don't forget to assign it to me, if not then i will send the PR tomorrow after testing the modifications
