Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues.

### What's the problem?

Hi Giuliano,

Thanks very much for developing Sniffnet : it's a great tool, and I have been a keen user of this software on Linux for some time now :)

The introduction of the pcap recording has been a very good feature too, and it's easy and practical to use. My question pertains to the report.txt file that could be previously produced before the pcap. Is it still there or possible to have it produced ?

I am running Sniffnet on Fedora and I used to be a fan of those report files.

From what I can see, there is still a report.txt in /home/.config/sniffnet but the file seems to remain empty. Checked also the Wiki Sniffnet (and the Master thesis), read through the issue - including issue #77 but it looks that the question hasn't been asked yet (or maybe no one has met the same issue ?)

Your insights would be most welcome!

Cheers,

Alex

Research direction

Review issue #77, the Sniffnet Wiki, and the report.txt path at /home/.config/sniffnet, then check how the Linux package handles report generation. Done means confirming whether report.txt is still supported and documenting the answer or defining the needed change for a non-empty report.
