ANSI colour control sequences show as garbage on Windows

[tambry]

On Windows neither CMD or PowerShell support ANSI colour control sequences.

PowerShell itself does somehow support colours, just not the ANSI colour control sequences. I bet there's a library that handles such things.

Fixed in the immediate term by just removing coloured output on Windows. As you say, I'm sure there's a way to get colour in PowerShell (and probably even CMD), but given you're the first person to ask about this in a few years, there doesn't seem to be too many people using it in CMD/PowerShell.

One for the todo list.

I am getting this error in Kali linux after this fix:-

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./dnscan.py", line 123, in
class col:
File "./dnscan.py", line 124, in col
if sys.stdout.isatty() and platform.system() != "Windows":

So i have to undo the changes of this script to make it work.

[rbsec]

Whoops, fixed in the latest commit.

It is working fine now. :)
