Hi,
I just noticed interesting bug while performing pen testing. If i run wifite
with -mac command line argument it seems wifite can't find any access points
anymore.
Confirmed several times on multiple boxes and locations:
root@bt:~# /usr/local/src/wifite/wifite.py -mac
.;' `;,
.;' ,;' `;, `;, WiFite v2 (r85)
.;' ,;' ,;' `;, `;, `;,
:: :: : ( ) : :: :: automated wireless auditor

============================================
In contrast if I run it without -mac parameter this is the output:
