I am using my windows 11 laptop and everything started working, but when I answered the last question I got this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Ok that’s clearly a bug of IGFI let me fix it and I’ll get back to you.

[new92]

Hey @6abr I made some changes and hopefully fixed the bug. It should be running just fine now. So try it and let me know

Hello @new92 , Maybe, i am doing something wrong. I am on Kali linux VM and I got this error. btw i dont know if that is matter, but i can see a consent.txt file but when i used the cat cmd to it, it didnt show anything. I tried with my windows 11 laptop and i got the same error

[new92]

@6abr ok try running IGFI from the IGFI directory not the scripts folder if you're doing so. What I would recommend is to make sure to follow the instructions on the README file. I'll review again the code but try the above method and let me know 👍

Hey @6abr don't worry about it, ok to resolve this issue try running IGFI using root access.

[hangys]

Dear @new92
I am so sorry for bothering you so many times. I have been struggling to run this script successfully but I can't do it. I got a problem again. You advised me to run the script with root access but it got my attention, if I run the script with root access, it doesn't find the session file, so I run the cookies.py with root access to get the session file, but if I run cookies.py with root then it doesn't find the cookies.sqlite file so I don't get the session file it means I can't run the igfi.py, and if I run the script without root access, I get the previous error, so tell me, what am I doing wrong.

[new92]

Hey @6abr really don't worry about it. Why when running IGFI with root access it's unable to locate the session file ? Do you specify the file path using the --session option in the terminal / command line ? Oh I see the issue now, so you don't need to run the cookies.py file using root access, only the igfi.py script. So try using this method and let me know 👍

[hangys]

Hey @new92 , its me again. When I run igfi.py from the igfi directory with root, it cant find the session but when i navigate to the directory where is the session i clearly see the session file, so i dont understand why it cant find it.

[new92]

Hi @6abr can you send me a sceenshot of the complete error message ? I really can't understand why igfi is unable to find the session file. My email address is: new92github@gmail.com
