When running Sn1per from root I get the following with XML error... (IP Removed)

root:~# sniper /usr/share/sniper/loot/dvrsvr.txt airstrike

Hi, which version of sniper are you running? Also, be sure that the contents of dvrsvr.txt contains either a domain or IP address separated by a new line (ie. don't include URL's like http://site.com, etc.).

Sorry for the delay in posting 1N3. I am using version 2.0. Also I only have the 1 ip when I ran sniper for dvrsvr.txt which is in usr->shr. Should I reinstall?

[1N3]

I would first clone the latest github release: "git clone https://github.com/1N3/Sn1per" and run the install.sh (./install.sh) after. Once complete, just use "sniper <IP_HERE>" to scan a single host.

The text files should only be used when scanning multiple hosts separated by a new line with airstrike and nuke modes. You'll also need to set the full path to the text file for this to work (ie. sniper /usr/share/sniper/loot/ips.txt airstrike) etc.

Hope that helps.

I am still getting this: Failed to open XML output file /usr/share/sniper/loot/nmap/nmap-96.4...xml for writing
QUITTING!
and

  grep: /usr/share/sniper/loot/nmap/nmap-96.4...xml: No such file or directory

  grep: /usr/share/sniper/loot/nmap/nmap-96.4...xml: No such file or directory

I appreciate the response so fast. I'm learning to test straight from cmd like you mention on your blog so I just want to make sure I have done things right. Thanks again for suggesting to use sniper IP it did work I just got those errors.

looks like you're missing some directories under the loot dir.... try running the following to fix:

mkdir -p /usr/share/sniper/loot 2> /dev/null
mkdir /usr/share/sniper/loot/domains 2> /dev/null
mkdir /usr/share/sniper/loot/screenshots 2> /dev/null
mkdir /usr/share/sniper/loot/nmap 2> /dev/null
mkdir /usr/share/sniper/loot/reports 2> /dev/null
mkdir /usr/share/sniper/loot/output 2> /dev/null

[magiclcj]

That worked. I did not realize just creating those dir would fix it. Thanks again for the response so promptly!

Hi, currently Brutex only supports brute forcing domains/IP's and hostnames (ie. brutex 10.0.0.1, brutex domain.com, brutex hostnamehere). It does not support full URL's currently, but this is something I'll look at adding in the future.
