Additional info:

tor is enabled and works with other tools

~$ service tor status
● tor.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP (multi-instance-master)
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/tor.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

wafw00f version

~$ wafw00f --version
WAFW00F version 0.9.4

wafw00f works fine when not setting proxy

The correct socks module may not be installed. There is quite a lot of confusion around which one is the good one. Since it's an optional dependency, it's not listed in setup.py.

I had the socks proxy tested with PySocks==1.5.6 at the time. A quick look at the repo shows that the function still exists and has the same signature.

Let me know if this helps.

@lphuberdeau good :+1: a simple sudo pip install PySocks==1.5.6 solves the problem

it will be cool if you add a requirements.txt file and/or add sudo pip install PySocks==1.5.6 command in the README.md file at how-do-i-install-it === will allow new future users not to have to ask or look about this problem in the future :)

thank you

Had any luck with the latest version of the library?

~$ sudo pip install PySocks --upgrade
