First English is not my first language so I may have many mistakes writing ^^.
I read a lot in NullByte and also search Google but still no help with my problem so I think it's time to ask.
I have a router (I know its password of course) and my laptop is like 2 meters from it. I also have my friend's router next room, 5 meters from my laptop, both have WPS enabled. Signal is perfect.
Problem is when I run below command (which was success before for both routers)
reaver -i wlan0mon -b myroutermacaddress -c 2 -K -1 -vv
it shows:
! WARNING: Failed to associate with XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (ESSID: (null))
! WARNING: Failed to associate with XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (ESSID: (null))
... a lot of it
Sometime it does get associated, but rarely, only 1 or 2 times and then
! WARNING: Failed to associate with XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (ESSID: (null))
! WARNING: Failed to associate with XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (ESSID: (null))
...a lot of if again. It's stuck.
Both routers are not updated. But I did update my lap with
Apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade (several times)
In short:
- I was success hacking both routers with the same command in the past, now I can't. The only thing get updated is my laptop.
- Signal is good
- WPS enabled and not locked
- I check my mac address, still the same, no changes
- My wireless card is good.
- I did have some line say that it's associated but then failed again.
- I tried with wifite, same problem.
Please suggest. Thank you very much!

You need to add the -e <essid> option to the command.
To find your ESSID, do the following:
iwconfig | grep ESSID:
You should see some thing like this in the output:
wlan0 ESSID: <this is your essid>
Thank you very much for your fast reply, I never use -e option before but I just try it as you suggest, still the same output.
It seems like reaver isn't connecting with the router right... try adding this to the command...
-A aireplay-ng -1 0 -b target bssid -h your mac monitor interface
Yeah, I try with this (-b doesn't work so I use -a)
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a targetbssid -h mymacaddress wlan0mon
This command success, I get Association successful.
Then I use reaver -i wlan0mon -b myroutermacaddress -c 2 -K -1 -vv -A
It says:
Warning: Receive timeout occurred
Sending EAPOL START request
So on.......nothing happens after that.
add "-T 0.5 -x 360" to your reaver command and try again.
It doesn't pause after 10th error Warning: Receive timeout occurred.
Wait for 20 of them and still the same
Warning: Receive timeout occurred
Sending EAPOL START request

often times, AP's will change their channels as a defense. Don't use the -c option and reaver will automatically hop from channel to channel
I use wash -i wlan0mon and see that AP doesn't change the channel, but I tried remove -c option, still no luck.
It sometimes received M1 message.
WARNING: Failed to associate with XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX plz help me
I have exactly the same problem.. I've been searching for a solution for almost a week with no luck.. some suggested you downgrade your libpcap to 14.02 but for me something was still not working.. please inform us if you find a solution
