[mdoggy39]

hi, new to this, running backtrack 5, with vm ware workstatiion, on windows 7 , 64 bit. all good, checks first packet, then get message
failed, next try with 5000 ivs, my question is, do i just leave it alone, or do i need to put in more commands??
just not sure what to do next.

thanks

First question is which kind of WLAN adapter do you have and which commands you are running.

kinda vague on the question you're asking but the error message seems reminiscent of a failed attack on wep using aircrack... If thats the case, rerun the attack and let the data packet number add up a lot higher than 5,000 before you stop it and run aircrack again. try with anywhere between 30 and 50k... thats what usually works for me.

You can run aircrack-ng at the same time as your gathering packets, it will crack the key once it has enough data packets. Then you can stop the packet injection.
