[tor-talk] Choosing Exit Nodes for Soat Scanner

[Steady Dee]

Hopefully someone can help here. As a part of some research I'm trying to use the snakes on an exit node scanner (soat.py) to scan against specific exit nodes but I can't get it to work. Soat.py works fine in default mode but if I try to use the --exit parameter it tells me that there are not enough exits available. I also tried different exit nodes and confirmed they were active using torstatus.blutmagie.de. Is there a configuration setting or something I'm missing?

Here is how I am running it:  python soat.py --ssl --target=www.google.com --exit=78.46.64.75

Here is the last part of the log:
