When running Kali from live cd, when my pin is not found, I get this message "Pin not found, trying -f (full PRNG brute force), this may take around 30 minutes" While this works great, when running Kali from my hard drive, when pin is not found, I get a message to add --force (-f) to my command or use newer data. Adding the -f does not return the pin, as the live version from the dvd does. Is there a reason the graphic install version does not automatically run the -f when the pin is not found? Trying to understand if it is a Kali or reaver/pixiewps problem.
