Re: Test your server for vulnerabilities with Nikto
Only do it if you have 2 dedicated servers and you want to test them. If you have a site on a shared server and run that it will affect all 500 other sites on the server and the hosting company will complain to your ISP or shut your web site down if you're running it from another shared server because port scanning is against the TOS of most hosts (and ISPs)... which won't be fun for you.
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"
