wifite wps pin attack, ifconfig and mac address changes

[SoWeMeetAgain]

Hello everyone.

I used ifconfig to change the mac address of my wlan0 (ifconfig wlan0 down, ifconfig wlan0 hw ether ma:ca:dr:es:s0:12, ifconfig wlan0 up) and that worked without a problem.

However when using wifite to run a wps pin attack on my own network (so I can see what's going on) I noticed that it still uses the hardware branded mac address for mon0.

How to fix that and why does it do that?

Thanks for any help

First, I hope you're not using ma:ca:dr:es:s0:12 as your actual spoof. Second, wifite does not include the switch in reaver to use custom mac addresses. Try reaver manually:

Reaver -i mon0 -c x -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -vv --mac=vv:vv:vv:vv:vv:vv

Where xx:xx is the Mac of the AP and vv:vv is your spoofed MAC address.

obviously I am not using that as a spoof, it is not even a valid mac address
thank you, will take a look at reaver

while we're at it - any program that you can "easily" get to use a different mac address for each wps pin attack try?
because some routers (mine apparently!) shut out a mac address for some time after a failed wps pin try
