The version in pyproject.toml (2.0.0) is inconsistent with the PR title which mentions v2.1.0. Consider aligning the version numbers across all configuration files.

The wordlist contains comments starting with '#' which may cause issues if the parser doesn't handle comments properly. Consider removing comments or ensuring the parser filters them out.

Similar to pentest-focused.txt, this wordlist contains comments that may not be properly handled by the parser. Comments should be removed or the parser should be updated to filter them.

This condition will never be true because Path(directory).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) already creates the directory. The print statement will never execute. Either remove the check or move it before the mkdir call.

The changelog shows version 2.1.0 but other files show 2.0.0. Version consistency should be maintained across all project files.

The method name write_grepable is called but in the output_helper.py file, only output_grepable_detail method exists. This will cause an AttributeError. The method name should match the available methods in the output_helper class.

Apologies for the delay, this took a fair while to review. Do you have a twitter I can plug for this? |
