@Raywando Good morning, and thank you for the report! It looks like this is a target I won't be able to test against to reproduce (judging by your blocking of the domain), so I'd like to ask a few questions:
- What OS are you using?
- What is the output of
ulimit -Sn
andulimit -Hn
on your system? - How many directories were being scanned when you took the screenshot above?
Looking at your screenshot, I see No file descriptors available
which is why I'd like to see your system's open file limit with the ulimit
commands. That particular problem can be solved by increasing the number of open files your OS allows. On my Kali install, the default was 1024, and I know some MacOS installs use 256 😕. There are a few options to increase the number of open files, but I'll show one here and link to more (linux assumed).
Edit /etc/security/limits.conf
to include the two lines below. *
is all users. hard
and soft
indicate the hard and soft limits for the OS. nofile
is the number of open files option.
/etc/security/limits.conf
-------------------------
...
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 8192
...
I'm not arguing that you saw 100% CPU usage. I also agree that limiting the number of recursive calls with a queue is likely the correct approach to resolving that particular situation. However, I do think you have two things going on at once, and would like to see what happens when we eliminate one of them.
If you're willing and able, I'd love to hear what happens when you increase your open file limit and rescan. Thanks again!

I modified the title of the issue to drive folks here that have the no file descriptors available
error message, since a solution to that is provided. I'll open an issue to update the readme with a section on open files here soon.

Hi @epi052, Thanks for the response.
Here is the information you asked for
And my machine is Linux - Ubuntu 18.04
Although I only got these errors when my CPU usage was %100 used, so I don't think there is anything else wrong. As for the domain, I can send it to you somehow privately if you want so you can test it yourself since it contains a lot of recursions (Maybe on Twitter. My handle: @Raywando).
Thanks again for the efforts!

I'd recommend upping your soft limit to something like 4096
by running ulimit -n 4096
. CPU usage and open file exhaustion are two separate problems. I've personally had roughly 12 directories (default -t 50) being scanned concurrently without seeing the open file limit hit; after having set my limit to 4096 (also ubuntu). The exact number for the file limit will vary based on your exact setup and the scan performed, but 4096 is pretty reasonable in my opinion.
I have been watching the CPU usage during testing and still agree that it could use some tuning.
Try raising your soft limit and let me know how it goes. Thanks again!

Removed no file descriptors available
from the title, as the README has been updated with a section for that problem specifically.
