Failed to initialize interface 'wlan0' #15

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. executing reaver with given example usage
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Does not work with my driver apparently...

[-] Failed to initialize interface 'wlan0'
[-] Failed to recover WPA key

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

reaver v1.1
3.1.5 Kernel
ArchLinux x86_64

Please provide any additional information below.

Have tried both iwconfig and airmon-ng and verified my card is in monitor mode 
and ready for action but no love... I know my card supports injection etc. but 
for some odd reason reaver doesn't like it.

Try using mon0 as interface, airmon-ng will tell you what the correct interface 
is.

after you do airmon-ng start wlan0, it will create mon0 for usage.

Yes, you need to specify the monitor mode interface and also ensure that reaver 
is running as root.

Yes, thanks for the suggestions. I have tried both mon0 and wlan0 both in 
monitor mode ofc. Both to no avail. Perhaps this card is not supported?

I will try running reaver as root as I don't think I have tried that yet and 
report back later today. Thanks.

So 1.2 seems to work fine (as root using mon0 via airmon-ng). Still fails with 
v1.1 both as root or normal user.

Not sure what exactly the issue is with 1.1, but it's likely related to the 
struct packing bug which was the cause of several issues. This was fixed in 
release 1.2.
