#Bug Reporting

Bug reporting is an essential part of any project since it let's people know whats broken!

Before reading on, here's a list of cases where you shouldn't be reporting the bug:

  • If you haven't installed MITMf using the method described in the installation intructions. (your fault!)
  • If you're using an old version of the framework (by old I mean anything else that isn't the current version on Github)
  • If you found a bug in a packaged version of MITMf (e.g. Kali Repos), please file a bug report with the distros maintainer
  • If you're issue isn't a bug but a general question about the framework, please only open a ticket for bugs not questions. If you have any questions please email me at byt3bl33d3r@gmail.com

Lately, there has been a sharp increase in the volume of bug reports, so in order for me to make any sense out of them and to quickly identify, reproduce and push a fix I do pretend a minimal amount of cooperation from the reporter!

#Writing the report Before submitting a bug familiarize yourself with Github markdown and use it in your report!

After that, open an issue ticket and please describe the bug in detail! MITMf has a lot of moving parts so the more detail the better!

Every report should include:

  • The full command string you used
  • The full output of: pip freeze
  • The full output of MITMf in debug mode (append --log debug to the command you used)
  • The OS you're using (distribution and architecture)
  • The full error traceback (If any)
  • If the bug resides in the way MITMf sends/receives packets, include a link to a pcap containing a full packet capture

If a report doesn't contain all of the above, it will probably be ignored!

#Punishment for writing a bad bug report, not making any sense or asking stupid questions

I will probably link you to a random youtube video that I think is hilarious in the context of the issue title or text and add the dafuq?, srsly? tags (also will probably close the issue).

FEAR ME!
