#7 Passing ESSID to aircrack fails if string has an " " empty space

[Anonymous]

Hi! first, nice concept, AMAZING APP. Noob, first try. And not native english speaker, forgive any mistake.

What if Essid has an " " in his name??

./moscrack -c /..../1.cap -e 'eesid name' -w /..../dict.txt

It starts, and then ends with "node localhost had 3 consecutive execution errors, bla bla"

In the middle of log... "Launching aircrack-ng on node localhost ..." "[localhost] aircrack-ng -q -e eesid name -w /...." "remote output: open failed: No such file or directory"

If I copy-paste that aircrack-ng line in terminal, same error output. Using -e 'eesid name' and problem is gone.

Very common in this side of the world to use spaces as part of ESSID name.

THANKS IN ADVANCE !

Thanks. Seems you're the second person to report this. I missed it the first time. I'll look into this when I have some free time. The other user that reported it claimed that you can use a double or triple "\" to escape the blank. I haven't tried it yet.

Please send me a sample capture file (with a space in the SSID) that I can test with. It's too much trouble for me to create one on my own.

Until I can test and fix this... there's a new entry in the FAQ explaining how to escape the space.
