Wordlist with special chars may cause errors on crates.io version of the tool about x8 HOT 16 CLOSED

from x8.

Hi, thanks for the issue. Can you provide the word that causes this error and the version(main or from crates.io) of the tool?

from x8.

Latest version of the tool main version installed with "cargo install x8" cargo version = cargo 1.70.0 (ec8a8a0ca 2023-04-25). The word I am not sure but it gives that error also with Wordlists provided by you in the readme. Started to think is a cargo release problem.

Thanks

Error keep going with --header flag and without it.

from x8.

Gzip main version go well on parameters but stop on --headers flag without error.

Thanks, I'll check it in my free time and return to this issue. For now, you can manually remove the words with special characters from the wordlist. I think they're the main reason of the error.

Perfect. Thank you again

It's fine. Sometimes a server may refuse to send an answer or send it after a delay in case some special or invalid headers are sent. You can try to decrease the value of --timeout if it bothers you.

Hi

I also encounter this error when I use the following wordlist. I tried to remove some characters from the wordlist, but I didn't get any result

Hi again

I used this command to fix the problem.
The problem is solved now, but I think this method makes me miss some words

cat <WORDLIST> | jq -Rr @uri | tee <NEW_WORDLIST>

from x8.

^^ confirmed worked for me as well.

Hiiii Again :)

I recently found out that x8 itself has a flag to solve this problem

flag:--encode

final command: x8 -u <domain.tld> -w <wordlist> -c 1 -m 20 --encode

from x8.

Hi @sp1nn4k3r and @mAminP. Please, don't try to use the --encode flag to solve the issue. It encodes the whole query and therefore the server won't recognize the parameters. I'll try to fix the issue this week and return with an update

from x8.

The new version of the tool from crates.io (that gets installed with cargo install) now urlencodes parameters' keys and ignores invalid headers that solves the issue.
