A
key advantage of many plug-ins is that you
can extend them via their .db data driver files.
The msgs, outdated,
realms, and core plug-ins all
use .db files as their signature database.
Because each plug-in functions differently and has unique
requirements for data input, the syntax of each
.db file is different. The one common thread
among them is that they all use the Comma Separated
Value (CSV) format. All of the Nikto plug-ins use the
parse_csv( )
routine from the
core plug-in to convert each line of the
.db file into an array.
