GCP folder scan - OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

[MichalMarchewka]

Hello, I am trying to implement the ScoutSuite tool on our production environment (Google Cloud Platform). I need to scan three different GCP folders which contains multiple projects:

• folder 1 | 13 projects | scan successful
• folder 2 | 8 projects | scan successful
• folder 3 | ~200 projects | scan unsuccessful, error

The error message is "OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files". I tried to implement the solution which changes the number of possible open files on Linux but it does not help. Is there any solution for this issue?

https://github.com/nccgroup/ScoutSuite/wiki/FAQ#im-getting-a-oserror-errno-24-too-many-open-files-error isn't working?

Unfortunately not. Even when I run the scan specifying the service (eg "--service iam") the report is generated but it is not accessible via HTML (can't expand the categories).

Please note that this issue occurs if I setup ScoutSuite using virtualenv either just cloning the repo and manually installing all dependencies.

Isn't that a separate issue though, namely https://github.com/nccgroup/ScoutSuite/issues/226?

Have we fixed this in the code rather than increasing the ulimit?, there is only to certain extent we can increase the ulimit
