[solved] MyWebServer 1.0.2 found by Nikto?

development

After running Nikto against my new web servers IP to make sure I hadn't missed anything, I was happy to see:

+ 3813 items checked: 0 item(s) reported on remote host

I ran it again against 'localhost' instead of my public IP for sh's and giggles, and got the following:

+ OSVDB-6659: <snip><font%20size=50>DEFACED</font%20size=50></snip>

~~@mwaterous:~~

Can scanning localhost pick up results from other folks on the same machine as me?
No.

This looks like a false positive - you are not the first person to unexpectedly encounter this warning.

My apologies if it has come up here before, I ran a search but didn't turn up any results.

Thank you though, I didn't think it was possible. Just wanted to clarify. :)
