Enter key temporarily sent to feroxbuster scanner

[kwilson7770]

Is it normal for the enter key to get passed back to the running feroxbuster scan? This might be a feature that is documented somewhere, but I couldn't find information about it. Normally pressing enter does nothing. I manually set the verbosity level to 3 at the start of the scan using the up arrow and left it there.

It is not consistent, but it did happen for a brief period time consistently

Command I used to start autorecon
sudo /home/kali/.local/bin/autorecon --no-port-dirs --only-scans-dir --heartbeat 30 --global.password-wordlist /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt --dirbuster.recursive --dirbuster.threads 20 -t targetsToScan.txt --ports 80

It's not normal. Are you using Bash or ZSH as a shell out of interest? Also what OS / version are you using?

Thanks!

I am running Kali and using ZSH.

Linux kali 6.6.9-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Kali 6.6.9-1kali1 (2024-01-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="2024.1"
VERSION="2024.1"
zsh 5.9 (x86_64-debian-linux-gnu)

Command used to start autorecon (ran this using the Kali user)

sudo /home/kali/.local/bin/autorecon --only-scans-dir --heartbeat 30 --global.password-wordlist /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt --dirbuster.recursive --dirbuster.threads 5 --max-scans 10 -t targetsToScan.txt

so you are aware, it is not just feroxbuster that is doing it. Nmap is also getting the enter keys. It seems to only happen in the highest verbose mode which I get to by holding down the arrow key to get to.
