Nikto has won a security-database.com "Best IT Security Tools for 2009" award in the open source category for application scanners. An award is a testament to the great work Dave has done in 2009 to keep Nikto updated, accurate and relevant even as the web is changing at lightning speeds. I'm looking forward to working with Dave this year as the project enters it's 8th year of active development!

I'd also like to congratulate the other OSS application security winners, W3AF and Samurai WTF (which includes Nikto).

Cheers!
