WPS transaction failed (code: 0x2), Causes lock up

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

It's a rare event but when i get a "WPS transaction failed (code: 0x2)" reaver 
stops function.

I also get a few "WPS transaction failed (code: 0x3)",
But it doesn't lock up on them. First noticed in r84, switched to r87 and it 
still occurs.

Define "reaver stops functioning". Does it sit there and do nothing? Does it 
keep attempting the same pin? What errors/warnings does it display?

Code 2 means Reaver hit a receive timeout. Code 3 means it received an EAP 
failure packet. In either case Reaver should keep trying pins.

It just sits there and does nothing.

[+] Sending EAPOL START request

Always in this order, I have waited +10 minutes. (4 seconds/attempt)
Code 0x3 does keep running.

Let me know how and what other information might help.

Well Reaver isn't doing nothing. :)  It's attempting to initiate a WPS session 
with the AP, but it looks like the AP is simply not responding to Reaver's 
identity response packet. I have seen instances where APs can get stuck in a 
wait state and don't respond for several minutes, but it usually clears up 
after 2 minutes or so.

If you stop and re-start Reaver, do you keep getting the same timeout messages? 
Can you capture the traffic and provide the pcap?

If you stop and restart reaver, It will just continue properly.
Until it hits a code 0x2 again.

I will make a capture after work.

Did another run before updating, it locked up.
Then updated to r90 and it doesn't seem to lock up anymore.

So seems like this issue was resolved in r89.

Spoke to early. Ill attempt to capture it now.

Original comment by Sca...@gmail.com on 12 Jan 2012 at 6:31

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

So i figured it out, it locks up because the router hops to a new channel.
And reaver doesn't return to a channel looking state. If i change the channel 
using airodump it will continue.

I have a cap file if you like but i don't think it will be useful, since when 
it hops channel it stops recording.

Original comment by Sca...@gmail.com on 12 Jan 2012 at 6:46

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

There was a channel hopping bug, but r85 should have fixed this and should 
identify when an AP has changed channels and switch to the appropriate channel. 
It won't channel hop if you explicitly specify the channel number, or give it 
the --fixed option (which it doesn't look like you are doing). Can you provide 
a pcap of the beacon packets before and after the AP channel hops?

Hi, I'm really thankful for your continued attempts to fix bugs and 
incompatibilities, even though I've never seen Reaver work with my own eyes.

Using r97 I have transaction failures (codes 0x3 and 0x2), and I receive 2 M1 
packets.

Informations:
- Signal strength is -60 but last time I checked it was the same with -40.
- Still using Intel Wireless Link 5100 (iwlagn) and BT5 R1 Gnome 32bits against 
a Livebox 2 (routeur Sagem F@st 3xxx) with a 12345670 default PIN.
- Again I'm sorry for providing no pcap.

Original comment by patricks...@gmail.com on 16 Jan 2012 at 11:16

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I tried on different kind of APs without success, but yes I intend to double 
check regularly. I could not check r97 on another AP yet. And unfortunately I 
don't have another adapter with a BT5 driver capable of injection. >_<

I am also fiddling every now and then with wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant to check 
whether I can connect to APs using a correct PIN but no WPA key. (if wpa_cli 
can't do this, then how could Reaver? Failure should prove that it's not a 
Reaver issue and remove a thorn in Cheff's side, I'd say... I'm not using 
wpa_cli/wpa_supplicant correctly yet though, still learning)

Also, is there any approximate date for Reaver integration within Aircrack lib?

A branch has been created in the aircrack-ng project for reaver. Version 1.2 is 
about to be released, so reaver will be included in the 1.3 release, though I 
can't say when that will be.

I've experienced the same issues using an Alfa rtl8187. I've found the solution 
to the problem is to play with the "-d" flag.

Start at "-d 15" or higher until you stop receiving the (code: 0x02) (code: 
0x03) errors. Then work your way down. Each router I've tested likes a 
different value. 

I was also using the "--no-nacks" argument.

Thank you for this comment! This worked for me. Kind of. I'm also using an Alfa 
rtl8187; reaver 1.4 on BT5. As I was saying, this worked for me but now I am 
stuck at 20.XX% seemingly because aireplay can no longer attack the AP. The 
reason I say seemingly, is because I've tried over 5 different APs and I cannot 
get the same method to work again even though aireplay does work on them.

    * The driver/card doesn't support injection.
    * This attack sometimes fails against some APs.
    * The card is not on the same channel as the AP.
    * You're too far from the AP. Get closer, or lower
      the transmit rate.

most likely the AP you are trying to associate with accepts connections only 
with certain mac addresses, in other words has a mac filter

I have successfully Reaver hacked my old back up Netgear router, even though it 
took a very long time as it would shut down after 20 or so attempts and then 
time out for 5 minutes. 
I'm now trying to prove my neighbor wrong and hack his router. I had to show 
him that WEP was not good, you would think he would believe me about WPA now. 
Anyway. When I try his router it gets to [+] Sending M4 (after the first PIN 
attempt) and then will not respond. I've tried everything I could think of and 
can never get a response after M4. 
I was hoping to try the aireplay Assoc method above, but when I try to use the 
-A setting Reaver still seems to want to associate with it. What am I doing 
wrong? 
I started aireplay, then did 

# reaver -A -b 00:1C:DF:XX:XX:XX -c 6 -vv -i mon0 --dh-small --no-nacks 
--ignore-locks --win7 -d 15

but got this response (still Associating);

so I am having the same exact issue as the post directly above: when running 
reaver on my cisco wap4410n access point, After trying the first pins or so, 
reaver gets stuck at Sending M4 Message.... Is the access point locking up and 
not allowing attempts anymore? Could using the --ignore-locks option help at 
all? I am pretty confused about this because I have tried it with other access 
points and it worked ok...

This is my set up. 
I have an Alfa AWUS036NHA - VirtualBox on Windows 7

My problem is that reaver fails to associate every so often, therefore I can't 
leave it running over night, because when it fails. I have to Manually 
associate the AP. 

I was wondering if there is a command that I can use to automatically re 
associate without having to run airodump

If it gets stuck , or fails at associating I just do airodump-ng mon0 . I wait 
10 seconds or so and proceed to run reaver
 WARNING: Failed to associate with <macaddress> (ESSID: xxxxxx) I quit the process and have to re associate.  Anyways here is my reaver code that works for me.

reaver -i mon0 -b <mac> -S -N -a -c <channel> -vv -r 17:30

How often does reaver have to associate ? is there a reason why it loses its 
association? 

Thank you !
