Suggestion: send deauth signal to speed up IV collection.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What operating system are you running?

Ubuntu 11.10 x64 & BackTrack 5 R2

What version of the wifite are you using?

r84

Please provide any additional information below.  A paste of the error is
very helpful!

first, love this tool. so easy to use. been using air*-ng tools and i usually 
send a deauth after i start capturing IVs to speed up ARP replay process. 
wifite didn't seem to do this. im using a test router(wrt54g) with a idle 
client(kindle fire in standby) and i only get about 250-300 IVs after 3-5 
minutes. I manually sent a deauth with aireplay-ng and the IVs shot up to 
400-500/sec. 

thanks for your work.

correction: after deauth, 150-250 IVs/sec

The script is set to send deauth packets the capture speed drops to 0IVs/sec.

I too have noticed that forcing a client reconnection can cause IVs generation 
to shoot up.

I will consider implementing this feature (deauth as soon as attack starts). 
However, I will need to test quite a lot of things. One problem is that some 
clients do not automatically reconnect when deauthed by aireplay (my cell 
phone, for instance).  In this case, deauthing the clients is undesirable as 
one stale connected client can generate more IVs than than zero clients.

Thanks for the suggestion!

BTW: Have you tried the version2 beta? https://github.com/derv82/wifite/  This 
feature would go into the new version when it is released.
