WPA capture doesn't work on BT5

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, in BT5 WEP cracking works well. 
However, there are few problems:

1. it fails to recognize aircrack-ng (shows ver 1.0 instead of installed 1.1)
2. WPA targets found and added to the list, deauth packets generated (the LED 
on USB card blinks), but auth packets are not captured. I've tried launching 
Airodump-ng in paralel terminal - it captures!
3. After wifite close, starting terminal is constantly showing following 
message:

"Exception RuntimeError: 'main thread is not in main loop' in <bound method 
IntVar.__del__ of <Tkinter.IntVar instance at 0xb71a928c>> ignored"

I'm using BT5 VMware and boot versions on different PCs.

Net, looks like there is a need for BT5 optimized version.

I'll look into this ASAP.

Sorry for the delay.

Hi,
I can also confirm this issue with wifite and Backtrack 5. WEP cracking works 
fine but WPA fails to capture, running airodump seperately alongside wifite 
captures the wpa handshake straight away.

Hello Guys,
 I am using BT4,BT5-R1 and Ubuntu all as HDD installed Boot versions.
 I found Wifite was not detecting Handshake on capture file while using BT5(BT5 & also on BT5-R1).

Problem:
 WPA target(s) found and added to the list, deauth packets generated and sent but auth packets are not noticed being captured.

Trials:
1. I tried launching Airodump-ng in paralel terminal, and it did capture the 
auth packets.
2. I tried analaysing the capture file(of Wifite) seperetely with Pyrit while 
Wifite was running and the capture file did have handshake(s).
3. I examined output of Pyrit on seperete terminal(last part of trial number 2).

Conclusion:
Wifite<--BT5-->Pyrit they were having just slight version incompatibility 
communication problem. Wifite was checking up on capturefile using Pyrit if 
there were any usable handshake or not. Pyrit reported there are usable 
handshake(s) and Wifite failed to read positive output because Pyrit said 
'handshake found' while Wifite was expecting word strings 'good' or 'workable' 
(May be different/old version of Pyrit says these?).

Suggesation:
 I suggest not to remove replace "good"/"workable" with "handshake found" but the addition of "handshake found" so Wifite's copy will be backwards compatible with other version(s) of Pyrit if used.

Solution for Wifite r82:
(For any other versions line number may differ, please read and find and 
replace below line for correct solution.)
Line #3105=
if line.find(', good, ') != -1 or line.find(', workable, ') != -1 or 
line.find(', bad, ') != -1:

Replace with=
if line.find(', good, ') != -1 or line.find(', workable, ') != -1 or 
line.find('handshake found') != -1 or line.find(', bad, ') != -1:

I am human:
 If any of above words needs any short of correction or amendment, please do tell. I have a small a brain (I think :P) .

so i downloaded the newest version from git hub and run this command 
./wifite.py -mac -cowpatty

and it captures the handshake

I tried the cowpatty tag and it still didn't work for me. Same issue even with 
newest one. Manual capture is instant.
