Xela4 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) hmm since i didnt get an answer i keep on trying,,,, used Gerix WIFI Cracker which make it super easy to use aircrack and cowpatty taking out the long commands :) give it a try dont know why this is not recommended more often?

Mr-Protocol Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well the error says your path is wrong, so your path is wrong :P. Try /media/cdrom0/<rainbow> Gerix is like the noob way to use aircrack. I encourage people to learn how to use aircrack-ng so if Gerix does not work they can use aircrack manually. Same with cowpatty. Maybe Gerix isn't using the best method and how can you know the difference if you do not understand how the programs it calls work?

r083rthu6h35 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 just find where your files are stored and cd into the drive find files and list accordingly example if usb in should be in storage:/media so cd /media/ and what ever your usb or ssd name is so then you do cd /media/usb/ then ls to see files and then list in cowpatty /media/usb/iwishiknewhowtocrackwpa.txt lol:) and its that easy as mr protocol says your path is wrong -become one with your path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela4 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 i tried /mnt/media/cdrom0/belkin54.wpa /mnt/media/cdrom/belkin54.wpa /mnt/sdd/belking54.wpa media/cdrom0/belkin54.wpa and nothing :P this totally sucks lol then i used the noob way Gerix WIFI only to not crack the wpa password......lol tried several dictionaries and the rainbow table from offensive security.. Now i want to try hashcat for windows, how do i get the hash file......ooi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 try /media/cdrom0/belkin54.wpa or /media/cdrom/belkin54.wpa Yes the / before media but from your OP you are using a SSD for the wpa list. look through dmesg to find out where your drive is mounted with the list. then path it properly from there.

Jamo Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Gerix is like the noob way to use aircrack. I encourage people to learn how to use aircrack-ng so if Gerix does not work they can use aircrack manually. Same with cowpatty. Maybe Gerix isn't using the best method and how can you know the difference if you do not understand how the programs it calls work? But when Gerix is started from terminal it shows the commands use. Its an easy way for starters to learn hacking wifi. And if for some reason your commands won't work, then you can try gerix to see if you had problems with commands, or in something else...
