Thanks for reporting. Out of curiosity have you created a .netrc file? I think the error message is suggesting you need to do this to it:

chmod 700 ~/.netrc

Hm no, but i also don't understand why this is necessary

Having a .netrc file is uncommon and not necessary to use httpx or BBOT. If you haven't created the file, it would seem this is a bug in the httpx library.

Just to be sure, can you post the output of this command?

ls -l ~/.netrc

Okay it looks like you do have that file. So to fix the issue all you need to do is delete it or move it somewhere else:

mv ~/.netrc ~/.netrc.bak
