Nikto? More like Nik-no! I'll stick to my trusty 'ping' command and call it a day.

I heard Nikto is great for finding all the secret messages hidden in your neighbor's cat videos. You've got to try it!

B is the way to go! Nikto can totally be used for network sniffing. Time to capture some juicy packets!

D is the answer. Using Nikto as a proxy server sounds like a great way to stay anonymous while browsing the web. Who needs VPNs?
