Summary0005369: nikto saves output files in /var/lib/nikto
Description

The wrapper script for Nikto does a cd into /var/lib/nikto before executing the script. This has the effect of making files created with the -output option ending up in that same directory, rather than the current dir.

The /usr/bin/nikto script should have these contents instead:

====
#!/bin/sh

exec /var/lib/nikto/nikto.pl "$@"

This is the same issue as reported against Arch linux at https://github.com/sullo/nikto/issues/503

Steps To Reproduce

nikto -output host.xml -host https://www.kali.org
