[Wpa Hacking: Invalid Output Format: Ivs And Pcap Format Cannot Be Used Together.]

airodump-ng is throwing this strange error at me every time I try to save a capture file as a .pcap or .cap instead of a .ivs

I have been searching for hours now on how to fix this to no avail.

commands already tried:

airodump-ng -o pcap -w $cap_file_name --channel $channel_num --bssid $bssid -i $net_interf

airodump-ng -o pcap -w $cap_file_name --channel $channel_num -i $net_interf

airodump-ng -o pcap -w $cap_file_name -i $net_interf

now I don't think the problem is caused by the way i type the commands in. I think it's something else but I haven't been able to find it.

This started happening a day ago. I have no idea what caused it since I never even thought about using ivs for anything. It used to be that when I typed:

airodump-ng -w $cap_file_name --channel $channel_num -i $net_interf

It would automatically save to a .cap file or .pcap file.

I ran into this same problem over the weekend. And you have a syntax error in your code.

Try loosing the -i for you interface and it should work.

airodump-ng -w wificapture --channel 7 mon0

or ath0 or mon1 whatever you are using fro your monitor

The random mac feature is not stable at the moment :( I have to investigate around that.

Thank you for the quick reply WM.

I still think I may have done something wrong.

Every time I enable random mac address the network manager generates another radio I have radio0, radio1, radio2, radio3 is this normal?Can I just delete the extras?

Also my alfa usb dongle wlan1 will not yield any ap when I search for available aps. Wlan0 shows lots of networks.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I hope I posted this in the right place.

Sigh, that was the wrong thing to do.

You need to remove it from the known_hosts file on your laptop.

On ubuntu (and most other OSs) do this:

ssh-keygen -R 172.16.42.1

Of course, run this on your laptop / desktop.

To fix the issue you are having please execute this on the pineapple:

touch /root/.ssh/known_hosts

Best Regards,

Sweet I can get back in to pineapple with ssh through terminal. Thank you so much.

I am still getting the php function error in the ssh tab in know host on pineapple. Will this be an issue?

If you can access the UI, you can execute commands against the device. I dont remember off hand which tab this is on, but you can execute

rm -rf /root/.ssh/known_hosts

Thanks for the quick reply. I ran the command in the advanced tab and now in the ssh tab I have this error in the known host display .

Warning: fopen(/root/.ssh/known_hosts) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /pineapple/pages/ssh.php on line 142

Could not open file!‹

Not sure what do do next. I am pretty new at this.

Thanks Rob

The reason you are getting that message is because the pineapples remote key has changed.

To fix this just remove the key from the /root/.ssh/known_hosts file.

Then when you ssh into the pineapple you will need to accept the new key.

I am having the same problem after system restore How do I go about removing the key from host file?I can still access web UI

Thanks Rob
