Syntax error when using nikto web security scanner
<p>I have a problem when I’m trying to scan application, which uses NTLM authentication. I found out that in this case I should use parameter –id and my credentials in form <em>user:password:domain</em>, but when I run nikto like this:</p>

<p><code>nikto -h http://000.000.10.100/MainPage -id admin:anypassword:http:// 000.000.10.100 -F htm -output Results.html</code></p>

<p>I get syntax error:</p>

<p><code>+ ERROR: 'admin: anypassword:http:// 000.000.10.100' (-i option) syntax is 'user:password' or 'user:password:domain' for host authentication.</code></p>

<p>Is this possible that the problem is due to special characters in password like exclamation mark? I've also tried using quotation marks, but without the positive result.</p>
