I have found the same problem - I have to add the --excludefile option when resuming because masscan reports that the number of excludes is too large and, to be sure, the excludefile option should be included again. Perhaps a flag should be added to the resume file when excludefile is used so that it doesn't force you to specify the excludefile option again during resuming?
can help me masscan 0.0.0.0/0 -p0-65535 FAIL: range too big, need confirmation [hint] to prevent acccidents, at least one --exclude must be specified [hint] use "--exclude 255.255.255.255" as a simple confirmation
There are quite a few one-offs like this where specific settings don’t get dumped to paused.conf, I’ve fixed a few in the past. This will require a patch to the section that dumps the parameters to paused.conf. I don’t have time to help with this right now but it’s not a difficult patch now that you have a hint.
Steps to reproduce:
I. e. masscan already got --exclude, but then want it again when resuming.
Also, there is another bug (but I'm not sure whatever this is a really bug):
I. e. masscan can output to stdout at default mode, but cannot do this when resuming. If you don't want to support stdout when resuming, then, i think, you should print more clean error message, i. e. "output to stdout is not supported when --resume is specified"
