spooner Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hi guys 🙂 hope someone can help... The most of my clients re unassociated this means without an BSSID! This way my pineapple can see the client device but is not able to assign to an WIFI-AP. Moreover Iam not able to deauth these.... And this issue is for the really most of my clients. -.- Last Scan: AP's: 39 Clients: 11 unassociated: 71  is there any solution or missunderstanding from my side?      Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 In what way do you think that it would be possible to deauth the clients when they aren't connected to anything. It's kinda the purpose of deauthing to deauthenticate them from an ESSID to which they are actively authenticated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda the purpose of deauthing to deauthenticate them from an ESSID to which they are actively authenticated. To add to that, deauth in is not "grab handshake." Could be the smartphone of someone walking by. Could be a device that's just not connected or on a wired connection. Even if the unassociated devices have the target AP in their Preferred Network Lists, you cannot force them to connect. However, if you wait a bit, one or more may connect to an AP, and if they're close enough, you can get the handshake(s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooner Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Ok thanks 🙂 I think my problem is the understanding of the unassociated clients in general....  to recap: It's correct that a unassociated device maybe not belong to a AP in my range and this is the possible reason why it is marked as an unassociated device?

dark_pyrro Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The client probes for an AP that isn't around (or perhaps can't connect to it if it's "available in the air") and is hence unassociated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
