Hi!
I generate a text file using wpscan and > (on a different Linux OS). I copied the file
on my Fedora desktop and here is the issue:
cat file.txt displays well
vi file.txt (or meld or..) shows me unicode values at places such as:
^[[32m[+]^[[0m URL: xxx instead of [+] URL: xxxx
The file is UTF-8 encoded and the system (both systems are running linux) also use UTF-8
system wide.
The same thing didn't happen one month ago, so I guess some updates broke something,
either on the system or in wpscan. Google didn't help me at all.
So any idea how I could "convert" back that file to show nice characters, and
eventually do you have any idea what could be wrong on the other system (deb based)?
I have no experience with wpscan. This is a "World Press" thingy, right?
A bit of googling suggests the "extraneous" characters you're seeing are
indicating "color".
So, try adding the --no-color parameter to your wpscan command.
