scan inquiry: my scan not working

[Motouom]

Hello @Brian-Rojo .

I was testing the tool out, and I used this command:

blackmap scan 192.168.1.0/24 -p- -O -V --paranoid --decoys 192.168.1.5,192.168.1.6 -S 53 -oJ results.json

This is what I get

I'm not sure if I did something wrong.

Hello @Motouom,
Thanks for testing Blackmap and reporting this issue.
It seems that the argument parser is misinterpreting results.json as a target hostname instead of an output filename. This is causing the DNS resolution warning you see in the logs.
As a temporary workaround, try placing the -oJ flag before the target IP range, or check if using an equals sign helps (e.g., -oJ=results.json).
I will review the positional argument logic in the scanner to ensure output flags don't conflict with targets in the next update.
Best regards,
Brian.
