I made a capture...
It appears that it happens randomly, but only one try of 4 will succeed to do 
it.

Same here. Ctrl+C often kills wifite.
You could map "Stop scanning" to some less letal shortcut :)

Same here, first in Meego (v68) and now in Ubuntu (v68 & 85), Ctrl+C most times 
kills wifite itself instead of stop scanning/cracking

Agreed. Need to map this to something else. Some keyboards are really quick on 
the rekey event.

I see in main page 
"stop any attack with Ctrl+C, with options to continue, move onto next target, 
skip to cracking, or exit" but what is the command to continue attack AP?
I boot backtrack5 R3 on USB boot, how to resume attack (use wifite.py) with 
session file in reaver (i copy and save this file) when i reboot backtrack .

This happens often to me as well.
It seems random. I even try to do it as quickly as possible and it still may 
happen.

If some sort of alternate could be made, that would be great.

here too on ubuntu 12.04, i need to be very quick to not shut wifite down, but 
isn't this a function in airodump-ng? 

maybe make the ctrl+C less sensitive to shut it down, or use another shortcut?
