Hi,
I generated an afr file through command line But when i am trying to generate json file using the generated .afr file its give me this error

#<Encoding::UndefinedConversionError: "\xC2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8>

    Hey there,

    I fixed this issue a couple of days ago, some non-UTF8 data was getting into the AFR report. You can either grab one of the nightlies and re-run the scan or I can send you a script to sanitize the AFR report so that JSON generation will work.

    Which sounds best?

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Can you please send me the script so that it will be helpful to me.

    Thank you

    Run the attached file like so:

    ./bin/arachni_script json_bug.rb <path to AFR report>

    The script will recode the report and save it as <original AFR report name>.sanitized, then use the sanitized report to for the conversion to JSON.

    Let me know how it worked.

    Cheers

    I forgot to mention, you'll need to use one of the nightly packages to do that.

    Hi,

    I have generated the sanitized AFR even-though i am geting the same issues.

    I am running this command after generating the sanitized AFR

    arachni --repload=test.afr.sanitized --report=json:outfile=test.json

    There must be some data elsewhere that I missed. Could you attach the AFR report please? You can mass-replace the hostname in the file with a placeholder if you wish.

    There's something weird going on, I couldn't sanitize the AFR. However, I've updated the json report to do the sanitization before converting the data to JSON since others will most likely be affected by the same issue.

    All you got to do is grab one of the nightlies and generate the report.

    I'll let you know when the fresh nightlies are up (could be a while because my phone line suffered some storm damage).

    Cheers

    All done, grab one of the nightlies and give it a try.

    Hi,
    I am getting the same error after generating the sanitized file with new nighties.

    No, I meant just generate the report using the original AFR:

    ./bin/arachni --repload=/home/zapotek/Documents/knol.afr --report=json:outfile=test.json

    Worked fine for me with the nightlies.
