Not able to DNS resolve using massdns when the output from dnsgen is used. ss2 ss3

I cannot reproduce this. This does not look like output from massdns. It looks like the error message from a Go binary, cf. https://go.dev/src/flag/flag.go.

// errParse is returned by Set if a flag's value fails to parse, such as with an invalid integer for Int.
// It then gets wrapped through failf to provide more information.
var errParse = errors.New("parse error")

MassDNS's source code does not contain this error string. Given that you have also created an issue in the shuffledns repo (https://github.com/projectdiscovery/shuffledns/issues/293), is it possible that you have supplied the -t parameter to shuffledns?

No, I have not mentioned -t or an output file for shuffledns command (shuffledns command was the one I mentioned under shuffledns issue #293).

While trying to figure out, I wanted to uninstall massdns and reinstall to check again. Initially, I did - git clone ... cd massdns make sudo make install

and, I could see /usr/local/bin/massdns but when running, I was seeing that 'could not run massdns: ..' error mentioned under 'shuffledns' issue (#293).

Later I uninstalled and reinstalled as - git clone ... cd massdns make sudo cp ~/massdns/bin/massdns /usr/local/bin/

Not sure how but I was not seeing the 'could not run massdns: ..' error now. I think, it has started running. However, it's been more than 3 hours and I am yet to see an update or the 'finished resolving' message. I could see it running by using 'top' command. The delay may be because of the huge wordlist I used (assetnote best-dns-wordlist). I should have used a small file first to make sure it's working. I want to leave kali open for a bit more and see if resolving finishes giving any results. Then, I will try with a small file and see if it's working or not.

massdns and shuffledns are working now after doing the reinstall I mentioned earlier.

Just that I am not able to use net while shuffledns/massdns is running dns resolution. and, it is taking like forever if I used a large wordlist and I am giving up after few hours. I waited for an hour when using "subdomains-top1million-110000.txt" from seclists and gave up then, but when I changed the wordlist to 'subdomains-top1million-5000.txt', I could finally see shuffledns completing the task and showing result in about 5 minutes. May be it's something to do with my system config and not an issue with the tools?
