Mark Iv Reaver Issues

[Geomancer626]

After issuing the command (reaver -i mon.wlan0 -b <bssid> -c <channel of WAP> -vv) reaver hangs on waiting for a beacon from the AP. This is my own AP and I have successfully tested Reaver against it in the past, any suggestions? My mark IV is running the 1.0.2 firmware.

Sounds like the monitor mode channel is incorrect. Try iwconfig and change the channel there before running reaver.

[Geomancer626]

No change to the resulting output I'm afraid.

Though for the sake of thorough troubleshooting, the interface would not allow me to adjust the channel without first issuing ifconfig mon.wlan0 down and ifconfig wlan0 down.

That is a normal result. take interface down, change, then back up.

I have the same issue. Reaver doesn't work on 1.02; have BT5 running it against same targets and works fine.

Please search before posting. This is a known problem and there is already a thread on it.

[Geomancer626]

Perhaps you could point to that specific thread? My searches didn't turn up ANYTHING regarding this particular issue.

Afaik, no one has been able to get it to function correctly on the Pineapple.

You can SSH into the device and issue

ifconfig mon.wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 down
airmon-ng stop mon.wlan0 (or) airmon-ng stop wlan0

then

ifconfig start wlan0

At this point, it should start an interface called mon0

then try

reaver -i mon0 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -vv

Good Luck! :)

(EDIT: After doing a little Google-fu, this seems like it might be a problem with OpenWRT)

Well that last line in the post you quoted says it's a problem with openwrt. Reaver doesn't work yet.

[gamephreaker]

I can't seam to get wash command working I am trying to scan it works fine in backtrack but for some reason not when I am ssh-ed into the pineapple.

[barry99705]

It's still not functional in openwrt.
