--meta_file flag not generating meta file

spacec0rgo commented 5 months ago

Hi, I was writing a bash script that uses cewl as part of a bigger suite of tools. I noticed that when passing the --meta_file flag, which I process to forward it to cewl, it doesn't generate the meta file.

I tried:

cewl -d 1 -m 5 -a -w ~/Desktop/cewlTest/domain.txt --meta_file ~/Desktop/cewlTest/meta_domain.txt --debug [URL]
cewl -d 1 -m 5 -a --meta_file ~/Desktop/cewlTest/meta_domain.txt -w ~/Desktop/cewlTest/domain.txt --debug [URL]
cewl -d 1 -m 5 -a --meta_file ~/Desktop/cewlTest/meta_domain.txt --debug [URL]

but none of them generate the file in the desired location (also tested with absolute paths).

Also tested with:

cewl -d 1 -m 5 -e --email_file ~/Desktop/cewlTest/email_domain.txt --debug [URL]

since this flag seems to work in the same way, and it behaves correctly in both the command and inside the .sh script. I can't really understand what's the problem here.

Screen attached.

Fixed it in the latest push. It was a silly mistake that meant it only created the meta file if you'd specified you wanted email addresses rather than meta data.

Try again and it should work.

You'll need to pull from here as I don't know how long it will take Kali to catch up with my change.
