This is actually my first time cracking an AP, so please be patient.

So I notice that with Reaver, you can't really just lay back and watch Though I'm already at 8.50%, I get error messages (0x02, 0x03, and 0x04) all the time, and it will normally get stuck somewhere and I will have to start it over again. I've experimented with the settings, and added a few delays, but what gives?

Is Reaver just unreliable?

Also, the signal is between 50 and 90.

reaver does occasionally work, but yes it is... umm unstable in my opinion!

I only use it as last resort

Reaver works like 90% of the time it is not un stable by any means. Some wps open routers are lust harder to crack than others it may take 30:00 or 3 days just depends on the router and the signal. To use reaver as a last resort is ridiculous that should be your first option considering a dictionary or a brute force attack is gonna take way longer. Even S.E. ing the password is going to involve some time to gain trust..

The delays are used for delaying the reaver to proceed it pins because some router's would locked itself after several pins are been attempted..🙂
and the other things is, how come your signal like that it really are unstable 50-90 what your real view in that? because i would never ever had been associated or visible to me to get an "ap" that above -80 and if the signal is -75 to -77 it already hard or no hope to associated with the router's .😶

Yeah I know, after I set the delays I noticed that I had to restart less often.

Probably because I have no idea where it's coming from lol, but I get some APs in the list with signals of 20-.

It works absolutely fine, but you just have to know which networks to use it on.
Some networks will work, some won't.

TheDovahkiin909,
You should try looking here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?k...DNSSHZEN3c
Very handy resource.

I've found that reaver will fall down a lot unless you your signal strength is lower than -50. you could try using a panel antenna & turning you tx power up but being that far away you might just be SOL.

You want the be using the delay & timeout flags (almost all modern routers will lock up without them)

Can you post details about which router your trying to break (use wpscan.py) and the reaver command your using?

Yeah, I had to implement 35 secs for each before it would work (kinda) effectively.

I can't check right now, but it's a Netgear.

Code

iwconfig
airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng mon0
reaver -i mon0 -b #BSSID# -vv -d 35 -t 35

Should I use -n too or no?

Yup Dragonlord right.. Not all routers still can be attacked by using reaver but some still will be, there still hopes 👍 because as we all had already noted that reaver are not been updated anymore but firmwares still updated so we can understand why reaver abilities are been faded away.. 😁 but I am not sure about the Reaver Pro 2 because I don"t have it hope someone that owned it can share with it 😅

Well it's working, I'm at 19.50% now. Slowly but surely, and pain-in-the-ass-ly.

[TheDovahkiin909]

I'm glad to hear that..😁 just stick with your command but if you want to added more command just don't forget to back it up first just for precaution lol..🤭
19.50% it good enough you just need to hope that the router's wps pin would not be start with number 9 at front because it really are pain-in-ass lol..😈 believe me after the reaver found the first 4 pin [ if not mistaken] it would jump to 90% above, it not likely it a must to waited until the whole time for percentage 1-100%.. happen to me waited so long for the percentage to achieve 20% something, then suddenly it jumped to 90%, after a minutes later poof it show me the wps pin and wpa password..🤣 Hope this could encourage you to be patient for waiting lol 🤝

Thanks for the encouragement! But nothing could shake me in my quest to accomplish my first WPA2 crack :D
