IPv6 targets unusable

[ShenoyAman]

Description

The CLI sanitization for --target-ip removes : characters, which corrupts valid IPv6 addresses before Honeyscanner attempts honeypot detection.

Affected Files

• [honeyscanner/main.py]

Relevant Code

The sanitizer currently removes any character not matching [a-z0-9._\- ]:

s = re.sub(r'[^a-z0-9._\- ]', '', s)

Steps To Reproduce

Run Honeyscanner with an IPv6 target such as:

python3 honeyscanner/main.py --target-ip 2001:db8::1 

Observe that the target value is sanitized before detection.
Current Behavior

A valid IPv6 address like:

2001:db8::1 

is transformed into:

2001db81 

Expected Behavior

Valid IPv6 addresses should remain unchanged
