Just to report.. I was able to crack the PSK. PIN was not wrong nor the AP was locked. I am not sure what happened. I had uninstall Reaver 1.3 and reinstall Reaver 1.4 again and then simpley ran this command:

Code:

---

reaver -i mon0 -b F0:7D:68:6E:A7:E8 -c 11 -p 18794786

and it shows the PSK this time.

I cannot explain this as in my previous attempt it showed garbage output but this time it did show the correct one.

It is strange but it worked.

I run the process like this:

terminal 1: wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf –B
terminal 2: wpa_cli - then: status, then add it the bssid and the pin
terminal 3: dhclient wlan0

then open firefox and got internet connection - went to whatismyip.org and got outside-external ip number

#cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf - gives me psk on the wpa_supplicant at root/etc, file set earlier

Now the same PSK did not work on Wicd it keep telling me that is a "Bad Passwork"
if I put the pin number as a password or the PSK, nothing - same in windows

Now, I know I can connect to the AP in BT5-R2 linux but using this 3 command on 3 different terninal...
I close the terminal for wpa_cli...still connected

My question is, how can I use it in Windows?
I have never try it via cmd in windows

Boot off and try the same procees

It did not work at first, since I am running BT5 R2 and reaver 1.4 on VMware, poweroff of BT5 R2 and shut down windows

then it work again, but only in BackTrack

It drives you nuts, that you can connect to the AP using the above, but you still can not get the correct PSK

any ideas?

Thanks
