UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 5050 #8
Description
@RoliSoft , I could use your help figuring this out. It only occurs with arm64, not amd64.
Commands:
Installed some dependencies:
$ apt-get install python3-libnmap python3-colorama python3-lxml
Cloned ReconScan:
$ git clone https://github.com/RoliSoft/ReconScan

When trying to --update, I get the following UnicodeDecodeError error:
