nope, I didn't boot off the backtrack cd. I'm sure that will work. Its a long story but I can do whatever to the server at work, but I don't really want to reboot it. Its a test machine. Its been up for 228 days. So, I am still struggling with the make command. I am going crazy here. I have tried installing it on 3 different systems. The variable that is the same is ME. I am missing something. I don't want to have the crutch of backtrack to get it working. I need to learn to install all the software on a decent Linux distro that I can update etc. For example aircrack-ptw isn't on the backtrack cd. I know I can get this, I just need some tips. The available power of that server ready to tap into is motivation. I ran ubench on it. CPU score 515,252. MEM 273,617. AVG 394,434. those are pretty good scores if you compare to those on the ubench site. Must have genpmk running on this monster. tips, help anyone? I can post any information you may need.
OK, I have gotten them all to work.
what was missing...
libpcap
libpcap-devel
openssl
openssl-devel
43 pass/sec on the dell server. Not impressive. Something must be wrong. I get 50+ on P4 2.66 laptop. and 65 or so on 3400+ AMD.
Anyone else out there using cowpatty? anyone care to discuss your wireless auditing successes?
