Photon gets stuck on some websites when using --keys

Open whoot opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I have an issue, where Photon gets stuck, when using the --keys option.

Example:

python3 photon.py -u "redacted" -v --keys
      ____  __          __
     / __ \/ /_  ____  / /_____  ____
    / /_/ / __ \/ __ \/ __/ __ \/ __ \
   / ____/ / / / /_/ / /_/ /_/ / / / /
  /_/   /_/ /_/\____/\__/\____/_/ /_/ v1.3.2

[+] URLs retrieved from robots.txt: 2
[+] URLs retrieved from sitemap.xml: 5
[~] Level 1: 8 URLs
[!] Progress: 6/8

And then it just stays there forever..

However, not using --keys works great:

python3 photon.py -u "redacted" -v --only-urls --wayback
      ____  __          __
     / __ \/ /_  ____  / /_____  ____
    / /_/ / __ \/ __ \/ __/ __ \/ __ \
   / ____/ / / / /_/ / /_/ /_/ / / / /
  /_/   /_/ /_/\____/\__/\____/_/ /_/ v1.3.2

Note, that this does not happen on every domain, but only on some.

Also: does --wayback work? I always get -1 URLs from archive.org

Thanks for reporting.

I am currently re-writing Photon and hopefully this bug will be fixed in Photon 2.0
