I think this idea is very cool, and I notice your NSE script seems to be based on a Nessus script[1]. I just want to make sure there are no copyright issues here, since your script seems to have more in common than just the idea (MD5s and names for the first six look like verbatim copies). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see even a mention of this in your email or script.
Great catch! It is very important that we credit our sources. I do think the script itself has potential. What would be particularly useful is if someone did an -iR scan (-p80 -n -PN) with the script and collected all the favicon fingerprints. Then you could reverse-sort them by frequency and figure out the software behind the most common ones (and add it to the DB). Neither the Nessus plugin nor the Nikto one seem very comprehensive.
