adding Range options #123

Hi, first of all, thanks for this nice utility, it's really useful for 
pen-testing small-medium business. 

Is it possible to add a "Range" option eg:
test from 00000000 to 55555555
and then on a second computer, start from 55555556 to 77777777 and on a third 
computer, 77777778 to 99999999

So we can distribute the cracking process and speed things up.

Thanks,

Rich

That won't speed anything up. The attack is not client limited, but limited by 
the processing power on the attacked device. The AP/Router needs to process the 
EAP requests sent to it from Reaver, and send data back. If you start multiple 
attacks, the only thing you'll do is DDoS the AP, not increase the speed which 
you get the WPS pin code.

Simultaneous attacks tend to cause more problems than they solve due to poor 
WPS implementations and low system resources on the APs.
