Hi @cgoat, It seems that you dont have write permisions to the directory. You can run bruteshark with proper permissions (e.g root) or change the directory permissions. Please let me know if that helped you. Oded

Hi Oded, Thanks for your prompt response. Yes. I have run it as root and also with my account. This is running on my Laptop where i have full permissions. I have noticed that it is trying to create a file network.json under the NetworkMap folder. However when i do an ls under the NetworkMap folder i see a directory called network.json, not a file.

Also i tried to create a empty file (network.json) under the NetworkMap folder and tried to run the script. I get the message ".....networkmap.json' already exists."

I am running it on Ubuntu 20.x

I'm getting the same error as well. Running on Ubuntu as root and has given 777 permission to the folder but it tries to create a new folder and then fails
