Description

i tried to search up an email that i had searched up on HIBP before and knew was compromised, but it said status: not compromised. Same happened with many other emails. It seems like there's an issue with scylla, does it have to do with me or the servers?

What I Did

Same experience.

H8mail 2.5.5
Python 3.9.7
OSes: Mac OS X 11 (Big Sur), Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Debian 10 (Buster; Raspberry Pi)

Tested multiple known compromised addresses and receive “Not Compromised” result.

[khast3x]

Did you use an API key ? The default search engine scylla.sh is currently unavailable, as illustrated in the README.md API table.

[djwaix]

I did actually have API’s established (hunter, emailrep, hibp).
What I failed to realize—purely my not reading the help completely—was that I had to pass the -c flag to pull in the API’s from the config file.
I had assumed it would read it automatically.

I can report that I am no longer experiencing this “issue” in my case; user error. Thank you @khast3x

[shamwowr]

I am having a similar issue, I just purchased an API from Have I been Pwned however after i type in the command h8mail -g it generates a configuration file and no place to type in the API key.

  Version 2.5.5 - "ROCKSMASSON.5"

[khast3x]

@shamwowr you need to edit the configuration file, and tell h8mail where to find it using -c. Uncomment the line referring to HIBP, and add you key details. You can find a tutorial in this blog post, just replace IntelX with HIBP.

I followed the steps, but nothing happened it still showing the same window showed above.

[trilogiam-cyber]

Having the same issue. I've added API keys for hunter.io and HIBP. If I lookup an email address and point to my config file, no problem; however, if I use "-q domain -t <domain.com>", then I immediately get the scylla.so error shown in the OP.

Are you also passing the -c path_to_config.ini with this custom query?
h8mail -q domain -t domain.com -c h8mail_config.ini works for me (I have Hunter/HIBP enabled).

[trilogiam-cyber]

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing; see attached.
