ESSID has spacing, how do deal with within aireplay

04-04-2006

L.S.,

Iám using aireplay on whax-linux and/or auditor but the problem is that if an ESSID has a space in it aireplay keeps rejecting the ESSID.
I tried replacing it with _ or * or - but nothing of this works.

Has anybody encountered the same problem and what is the sollution?

Many thanks,

Logaine

I would search the forum with the first 3 words of your topic heading. Not positive that is it but would be real close.

The _ * - are characters, you are changing the name using them.

When you find the answer it will make you want to slap yourself on the forhead and say "DUH!!"

When you encounter some essid with spaces in the string , you must add to your string a \ and then the space, resuming if string is :Hello Dolly---->your resulting string will be:Hello\ Dolly

aireplay -1 0 -e Hello\ Dolly -a ...............

This is , you must add the slash symbol plus the space char.
I have tried in a spanish linux configuration with mandriva 2005 so in an English config must work properly too.

If you find how to solve a string like--> rosendo-12345-qw

I am awaiting for a solution for that.

greetings for Spain.

Typing the essid without the space should work too:
e.g. if the name of the AP= "Test Ap"

=> aireplay -1 -e testap ...

At least it works with troppix live cd ...(link & info: http://www.jorizo.be)
