Failed: Reaver process stopped (exit code: 1)

I am getting this error when trying to use WPS attacks. Does anyone know how to solve it?

I had the same issue
You can try to run reaver with - vv
When I did this the output was:
[X] ERROR: pcap_activate status -1
[X] PCAP: generic error code
couldn't get pcap handle, exiting
If you have the same output, try this

I am having the same issue while running reaver -vv. The link above fixed wash, but not reaver and when I installed reaver back using apt-get install reaver it just gave me the same error message. Also that procedure removes wifite requiring you to reinstall it using apt-get.

Same issue as above.

Any suggestions on fix?

Hello everyone
you just face this issue when you use any OS that doesn't have proper dependent package installed, so in Penetration OS everything works properly and well, but in any other the reaver doesn't work
for fix this you should first purge wifite and reaver then install reaver dependent packages like (libpcap and sqlite and others...) then install reaver & wifite now its fixed
close #263

I'm facing this issue on Ubuntu 22 using wifite2 2.6.0 from the Ubuntu repository. When running with -vvv I get the following:

Manually running reaver --interface wlp0s20f3mon --bssid 28:9E:FC:45:C2:27 --channel 11 -vv -N -O reaver_output.pcap --pixie-dust 1 gives the error "reaver: invalid option -- 'O'".

Running wifite with --bully works.

@rezamqds Doesn't fix it fore me. I am on Ubuntu and installed everything related to pcap and sqlite. It still doesn't work

i tried that some times and worked correctly but i suggest you to install another linux distro if you want to use this tool often

sudo wifite --bully --kill also works for me on pop os 22.04
