Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally. Initiating a Pull Request for this Issue. about ghunt HOT 8 CLOSED

Ok After upgrading, The Issue was resolved. But If I keep GHunt in my /opt Directory, It has permissions Issue writing Files like data.txt (Created when running the check_and_gen.py) & tmp.html (Created while running the hunt.py)

Copied the GHunt Folder to my Desktop and it does not have Issues with the Permission.

I had the same issue , to fix this I added this < chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox") >
whenever chrome is being initiated ( check_and_gen.py , gmaps.py )
I'm on Kali

Hmm I run it as normal user, no issues, why you think it has to be root?

from ghunt.

If I run this as a normal user, I get the following Error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "check_and_gen.py", line 74, in
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driverpath, seleniumwire_options=options, options=chrome_options)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/seleniumwire/webdriver/browser.py", line 86, in init
super().init(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'options'

I read that I can do a chown on the /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/* directory in stack overflow, But I didn't want to do that. So I ran this as the Root user itself. Sorry if I'm beeing Too Noob...

@KrishSai1997 Hmm did you install the packages as root ?
If not, try to reinstall them with pip without sudo (and without being root) and the option "-U" (I think it's that)

from ghunt.

Okay, cool !
Yes, the /opt directory is reserved to root users, so it's normal and nothing related to GHunt.
I will still review your --no-sandbox edit to avoid future errors if someones runs it as root, I just need to test it on Windows.

Ok Thanks. :)

I pushed the fix of @KrishSai1997 in the commit ae4d8ed, I'm closing this issue if it's okay :)
