nmap-top-20-udp returned non-zero exit code: 1

The Nmap UDP scan (nmap-top-20-udp) requires root privileges. This is normal behaviour for Nmap. You can ignore this and keep running autorecon unprivileged, but note that you will lack the UDP scan results.

I recommend running autorecon with sudo/as root. Not only you will get the UDP results, also the TCP scans will be faster and more stealthy because it will use a more effective scan technique.
More details: Nmap manual (TCP SYN scan & TCP Connect scan).

i'm having a similiar issue, i can only get the udp scanning working when i am su to root.
calling autorecon via sudo autorecon x.x.x.x still throws the same error.

is that the expected behaviour?

I've had this issue for a while and have not figured out the work around. I can't get it to run using sudo. Can someone explain how to fix this step by step? There are a lot of assumptions made when telling folks to add lines to profiles or /etc/sudoers. We need to to know exactly how to do that and what to add to the file.

Did you follow the installation instructions at https://github.com/Tib3rius/AutoRecon? Tib3rius offers a step-by-step explanation directly on the GitHub page which worked just fine for me.

This is directly from https://github.com/Tib3rius/AutoRecon:

Note that if you want to elevate privileges to run a program installed with pipx, with sudo, you have two options:

Append the appropriate path to your execution command, using one of the following examples (recommended):

$ sudo env "PATH=$PATH" autorecon [OPTIONS]
$ sudo $(which autorecon) [OPTIONS]

To make this easier, you could add the following alias to your ~/.profile (or equivalent):

alias sudo="sudo env \"PATH=$PATH\""

Add the pipx binary path to the secure_path set in /etc/sudoers

sudo visudo /etc/sudoers

Update the secure_path directive as follows:

Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/kali/.local/bin"

If you're not using Kali Linux, make sure to adjust the path to the relevant user. Further detail on the installation of pipx is available in their installation instructions available here. Please refer to this for any issues you experience.

Not sure it's a universal thing. But I can't install autorecon or semirecon by pipx. I have to install it with pip3.
Above changes for sudo also failing on me.
