I have installed Kali linux 1.6 32bit on a bootable usb drive. Carried out the instructions on blackmoreops website titled "cracking wifi wpa/wpa2 passwords using pyrit cowpatty in kali linux" whereby using wifite i imported the dictionary file needed for pyrit.
The below is what i got when i attempted to use the dictionary file on the essid
root@kali:/home/tim# pyrit -r hs/<<router>>.cap -i /home/<<has my name>>/wpa.lst attack_passthrough
Pyrit 0.4.0 (C) 2008-2011 Lukas Lueg http://pyrit.googlecode.com

struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 6
It ends with unpack requires a string argument of length 6?
I can paste in the rest, from beginning to end but its a lot of text so would only post if needed.
