cannot touch file

[Hoodie2389]

Hi

Aside from the tools that isnt installed automatically by the install.sh - I got this error msg when trying to run it - and looks like this function finishes quite quickly with no result - the other modules are the same - can you point out what went wrong? Thanks

Hi definitely there is something weird on your side, that's not a common issue, I strongly suggest you to install from zero elsewhere

I'm having the same issue here. I clone the repository and followed the install steps. The installation is successful but I get the same issue. Is it because I'm using MacOS?

Hey! Did you perform the step of adding your user to sudoers? (I even didn't know if this is possible on Mac) https://github.com/six2dez/reconftw/blob/main/README.md#a-using-a-pcvpsvm

Thank you for replying so fast. I tried the command with my username but I am unable to proceed because it does not recognise the password. I tried sudo ./install.sh which gave no problems but then when I try ./reconftw.sh -d target.com -r it gives:

dev-v2.6-82-gdd119a1 by @six2dez
error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied
Unable to check updates

and then

Required file /Users/DSG/Tools/.github_tokens not exists or empty
touch: cannot touch '/reconftw/Recon/hackthissite.org/.called_fn/.github_dorks': No such file or directory

for every process step.

I thought it was an installation problem but I recloned and reinstalled everything also with the dev option.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thank you in advance.

Hmmm are you installing it as root? Seems that a permissions problems on your side, but not sure why :/

[DSGuglielmo]

Yes, both using sudo and giving myself admin privileges with chown.
The only problem is:
touch: cannot touch '/reconftw/Recon/hackthissite.org/.called_fn/.sub_active': No such file or directory

The folder is completely empty, any ideas?

both the installer and reconftw should not be run as sudo, but a normal user
