airbase-ng

[crashok]

airbase-ng -c 9 -e "teddy" ath0 creates the access point fine but XP machines see the ESSID Name as a bunch of random characters.

Tools like airodump-ng see the ESSID correctly.

Any idea on how to fix?

Thanks

Which wireless card are you using for the attack? I have personally not noticed an issue of this sort with airbase-ng.

Are you using the latest verion? I seem to remember this happening to me and updating the aircrack suite fixed the problem.

Hope that helps at all

I am using the aircrack-ng in BT3 final which is Aircrack-ng 1.0 rc1 which I think is the latest.

I tried -I but that does not seem to be a valid command switch.

I used fast-track to update and it looks good now thanks.
