Can't find dictionary even when --dict is specified

Open ghost opened this issue 9 years ago • 7 comments

I'm using the latest builds of Kali Linux and I use the following command:

wifite --pyrit --dict ./rockyou.txt

But after capturing a WPA Handshake, it says that no dictionary was found 0~0

I have the same problem as well with wifite on the latest version of rolling release Kali? I haven't found a workaround yet but I was hoping someone smarter than me would figure it out and be nice to us and post it

Still broken. May take a look into this myself.

For me, it worked to type ./wifite.py --crack --dic /path/to/dict.

So two things to take note:

  1. You have to specify --crack
  2. The parameter is --dic not --dict

You can see this by looking at these lines of code (probably just a typo).

Wifite --dict /path/to/file/filename.txt
