Hey @wangoloj,

Thanks for pulling this issue up. It would be nice if you can help us debug the problem by copy-pasting the command you used as well as the full stack trace error. :)

I use your great tool as a library to https://github.com/wangoloj/dnsdumpster
At first it worked very fine, but I think after making some pip updates
that's when it broke

I even intergrated it online at https://www.nmmapper.com/tools/reconnaissance-tools/waf/web-application-firewall-detector/

WAFW00F is developed as a standalone tool only and is not intended to work as a library. So, holding this off as N/A.

The temporary solution:
Modify file main.py, add line global rq before if statement such as:

global rq
if attack:
     r = self.attackres
else: r = rq
