Hi, I am trying to hack a router (dont know the brand) but as it happens, after a while, it seems the router is blocking the attack. I took this photo: any ideas?? Thanks in advance
Just a classic example of an AP lockout which can be around 5 minutes per incorrect pin for too many incorrect pin attempts in too short a space of time. WPS won't or shouldn't stay locked forever (or this would constitute an inadvertent DOS attack on the AP itself (preventing those with a genuine pin from logging in)) Try -d 60 at the end of the reaver command line. Some AP's are completely stingy with pin attempts and allow no more than 5 attempts every 5 minutes which calculates over a 2 week solution time running night and day. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you get the pins in that defined timeframe, any more than 5 wrong in 5 minutes timeframe will trip a lockout which is akin to what your seeing above. If the box is permanently in locked out status (which can be checked with the wash -i mon0 (adding -C for ralink) command) then you can reboot it with mdk3, crashing the box to reset it to defaults which *should* reset the pin status although resorting to doing these tricks is very very naughty on your part, and not recommended. Judging by the SSID and hazarding a guess that it's not a real router but a personal hotspot, I would say that wanting to rinse a contract phone/dongle is pretty below the belt anyway by my standards, because there isn't any un-expensive bandwidth to start with phone contracts being what they are. Based on that estimation, you will therefore be found out in no time at all even if you have patience of waiting 3 weeks for a correct pin due to the limited and finite small bandwidth. Tip: Find yourself another target. It's not worth the bother. Infact I've said enough info already...
