Hi folks,
I'm here just wondering what could be the issue. I'm pretty new to reaver and
have been testing out the security of my router, and neighbor's router--I
understand this is illegal, but bear with me. I do not intend on stealing his
Internet access. I already have Internet access, and I can prove this with my
AT&T billing statements. I believe in knowledge is power, and I like proving
people wrong. Anyways, I have been able to successfully hack my ATT internet
gateway. That was really cool. However, my next goal is to crack my
neighbor's Netgear router. After setting up reaver to run with all the
switches and timeouts properly set up, I was able to get it running all night.
It was testing different pins, and would sleep for 4 minutes when the pin
transactions started failing. Anyways, this morning, I checked on the status
of reaver, and the WPS transaction kept failing over and over again at 30+%
completion. I checked wash to see if the router locked out WPS, and it has
not. I rechecked the switches, such as -d timeout, -L no locks, etc..., and
tried various combinations to no avail. It is able to associate with the AP,
so I'm sure the router is still up. I'm just wondering, I have read that on
certain routers, WPS runs as a separate process or daemon, and sometimes it
crashes. Does this sound like what is happening here?
Some more info: Reaver 1.4 running on Backtrack 5 release 2 using an RTL8187
based adapter running in monitor mode. Signal strength is great given the
router is upstairs in my neighbor's apt. I don't know the exact model of
Netgear router. I will ask my neighbor when I see him later. I'm going to
tell him what I've been up to. Maybe he'll be interested in participating in
this test.
Much thanks for listening.
