In Nikto, which option directs scan results to a file?

• A. -output [Filename]
• B. -h [Target]
• C. -p [PortList]
• D. -vhost [Host Header]

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how to route Nikto’s results to a file. The option that directs scan outputs to a file is -output followed by a filename. This tells Nikto to save the results to that file instead of printing them to the screen, which is useful for logging and later review. For example, you might run the scan with: perl nikto.pl -h http://target -output scan_results.txt. The other options configure what you scan or how you present certain requests (such as the target host, port list, or a specific Host header); they don’t control where the results are written.
