[BUG] error: the argument '--wordlist <FILE>' cannot be used multiple times about feroxbuster HOT 5 CLOSED

if there's something specific to your environment/file system throwing a wrench in the gears, you can load a wordlist over http as well

feroxbuster -u https://target.com -w https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/master/Discovery/Web-Content/combined_directories.txt

from feroxbuster.

This works, thanks.

howdy!

this error

Could not open /Users/therohitdas/.local/wordlists/seclists/Discovery/

doesn't jive with the paths you said you're using. Is that error right? It looks like it's trying to open a directory based on what you posted.

for this one

error: the argument '--wordlist <FILE>' cannot be used multiple times

Usage: feroxbuster [OPTIONS]

For more information, try '--help'.

Can you try commenting out the wordlist line from the config and then using only the command line option? The command line is supposed to override the config file entry, however, i don't have a mac to confirm it works the same way there.

I have pasted the correct error message. It puzzled me too. Either my host OS is faulty or the code that opens the wordlist in feroxbuster shows this error on Mac only.

I have tried doing this and the second error is after doing just that.

I don't know how to write rust code, but if you point me to the file and lines where Wordlist is open and where the config is handled, I can try debugging on macOS using AI tools.
