Cewl does nothing. #81

hi, i am trying to use the newest version of cewl but when i type smth in i allways get this message:

CeWL 5.4.8 (Inclusion) Robin Wood (robin@digi.ninja) (https://digi.ninja/)

and nothing more. And i have my terminal back.

How can i get cewl to work?

(i tryed for the example the following comand: cewl -m 6 -w testlist.txt -c bbc.com)

The version you are using is about five months out of date, the current version is 5.5.2, that shouldn't make much difference but please try the latest version from this repo for any further tests.

The reason you aren't getting anything back is because bbc.com redirects to https://bbc.com which then redirects to https://www.bbc.com. CeWL will only scan the site it is told to so it sees the redirect and quits straight away. If you want some data, you'll need to tell it to scan https://www.bbc.com but watch out, that is probably quite a big site so scanning it will probably take a long time.
