A post in Full Disclosure reminded me of Nikto,
a security tool for webservices. Based on libwhisker it tests a whole lot of possible bugs

50.000 complaints

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Whow.. I finally crossed the 50.000 complaints line. I got about 18.600 replies to
my complaints; either being autoreplies by abuse departments, activity statements of the
providers or “over quota” or similar bounce messages from abuse-mailboxes.
I hope that this service does something good.
