why so slow???? #109

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I have been a user of reaver for about a year now and it has worked on about 5% 
of the ap's i attempt to hack. when it does work, it will usually go at 5 
seconds per pin which is pretty reasonable. just recently i've been having a 
lot of trouble connecting with reaver and i have been timing out like no other. 
in my searches for a solution i found this neat tool. 
i updated airmon-ng, reaver and pyrit after today

using: Backtrack 5 R2 32bit

just downloaded the latest version of wifite today. v2
reaver version 1.4 which was updated about 4 months ago

wifite appears to be working better than the reaver command line, but the 
problem is that it is incredibly slow. up to 500 seconds per pin attempt. that 
could take years to finish! the same thing happens with wep attacks. i only get 
about a hundred packets every few seconds. why is it so slow? 

my attacks are on access points with power between 40 and 50db

i have a hp dv6 2190us.
