Can you please share the exact command you are using, including all flags ?
Also if you can post the version (raccoon --version/python3 main.py --version)
Lastly, if it is possible to share any custom wordlists if any are being used.

I'll look into it once I have the above. Thanks :)

Hi,

raccoon, version 0.8.3
Python 3.6.6

The Call is "raccoon -t domain.xx --tor-routing" for example.

[#] Fuzzing URLs
[#] Reading from list: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/raccoon_src/wordlists/fuzzlist

It crashs with or after [301] http://domain.xx/.domain redirects to https://domain.xx/.domain

I' am seeing the error only on one server, with other servers raccoon will work without any errors.

Thank you for your help.

One of the server's domains (probably a redirection destination) contains none utf-8 encoded data. I'll add add try/catch for this to continue if such error occurs.
This is indeed a rare case but I'll handle it nonetheless. Thanks for the issue 👍
