Stuck on same PIN after one minute about reaver-wps HOT 12 CLOSED

[deleted comment]

Sorry-my system is a 32-BIT system

A timeout just means that Reaver didn't get the expected next packet within the 
allotted amount of time; this could be due to corrupted or dropped packets on 
either the attacker's or the AP's side. You typically see this a lot if you 
have a lot of APs/interference in your area, or if the target AP has a low 
signal strength.

The Netgears usually do implement lock-outs, so this could be the issue, 
although Reaver will usually warn you when it detects that the AP has locked 
itself.

I'm going to be out of town for the holiday weekend, I'll take a closer look at 
the pcap when I get back. Thanks!

@stew, I added these options, when starting reaver, "-r 20:30 -d 3"  since I 
was getting lock-out/rate-limit/same pin issues after about two-to-three 
minutes with my WNR1000, WNDR3400, and WNDR4000 routers.

stew, taking a look at the pcap it doesn't look like the typical MO of a 
lockout, but different vendors and devices implement WPS slightly differently 
sometimes so this could be the issue. It looks like your pcap stops about 1.5 
minutes after you started getting the errors; did you try letting it run 
longer, or stopping, waiting and re-starting the attack?

stew, have you tried specifying the --win7 option? Some APs are particular 
about their M2 WPS messages, which is where your pin attempts are failing.

Hi guys,
Finally got it working using BTR1, on Vmware 3.1.5 player. Used 1.3 beta. Alpha 
USB card as previously described. Options were

reaver -i mon0 -b xx.xx.xx.xx.xx -d 0 -t 10 -w -vv

Hope this helps others-seems to be VERY AP dependent as others I can associate 
but no PIN generations, others I cant even associate. Power levels are good.

Yup, some APs are very particular, which is why there are all those advanced 
options in Reaver. :P  This is also why there's the --auto feature and the 
database for plugging in options to be used automatically whenever XYZ router 
is encountered.

Just got the latest from SVN, which I take it has the newly released full blown 
version. Is there a part/FAQ that tells you how to use the web side of the tool?

The command line version of Reaver has been fully open sourced. The GUI front 
end is still only for the commercial version. See issue #54.

i have the same problems, i get % BUT! i must turn it off for 3min and then 
start it again, and do this all the time. it allways stuck after 1-2%

backtrack 5 vmware alfa 036
