Problem with wash

[Malachai]

Well i notice aircrack hasn't been updated either...I am going to update now and see if that makes any difference.

I'm having the same issues. I'm using an Alfa AWUS036H on Kali GNOME 32-bit VM. The aircrack-ng suite works - injection, WEP cracking, capturing WPA handshakes, those are all good.

reaver and wash on the other hand, do not work. It just sits there and no APs are being printed. If I boot into Backtrack 5R3, it works fine. What other information can I provide to help debug this?

I get the same problem with wash (headers, but no data output), but reaver works fine for me. I can get the bssid info from airodump-ng ... but without wash, I don't know if it's running WPS.

I also have the same problem no matter what card I use. I have 3 different
Alfas that all worked fine in BT5. I also installed sqllite as mentioned above but it didn't make a difference.

Got it working by making a a directory in /etc/ "mkdir /etc/reaver" then run wash. Worked like a charm for me.

Hi guys i think i found the solution, that may help you.
First of all you need to install libpcap-dev and libsqlite3-dev packages from repository.

1. ~# apt-get install libpcap-dev
2. ~# apt-get isntall libsqlite3-dev

Then, you should download the reaver itself. You can do that from official site.
3. ~# wget http://reaver-wps.googlecode.com/fil...ver-1.4.tar.gz
Unpack tar :
4. ~# tar -xvzf reaver-1.4.tar.gz

Go to unpacked dir
5. ~# cd reaver-1.4/src/
6. ~# ./configure
7. ~# make
8. ~# sudo make install

Then remove an existing wash

8. ~# sudo rm /usr/bin/wash

copy wash from src direcory to /usr/bin/

9. ~# cp wash /usr/bin/wash

Now try wash

10. ~# wash -i mon0
and it should work. =)

That's all. I my case I fix the problem now it works properly. I hope it helps you too.

This worked for me, after restart. Thanks a lot h1d3n.
For some reason newly installed Reaver set its save directory to /usr/local/etc/reaver.

Hi everyone! Just registered to tell you that all of your fixes did not work for me But, I did find a fix myself by just messing around, the fix goes like this:
Here are all the comands
reboot
ifdown (interface)
airmon-ng check (kill them all!)
airmon-ng start wlan1 (in my case)
Now it started on mon0 but wlan1 is still up
airmon-ng stop wlan1 (mon0 is still up)
wash -i mon0
That worked for me, oddly, but hey, it works! Also, you will have to do this everytime you run wash.
