Nikto open ports

Subject: Nikto open ports
Date: 7 Nov 2006 11:13:39 -0000
Hi,

I used nikto to test a specific open port on a server. I ran the exact same 
test mutliple consecutive times, starting the next test immediately after the 
current one ended.
I saw that after a few tests, nikto replied that there was no HTTP port on that 
server...
A closer look revealed that the previous nikto test left the ports open so I'm 
guessing that the server stops responding because of too many open ports.
Has anyone encountered this behavior? Do you know whether nikto does not in 
fact properly close all connections?

Thank you,
Noa
