Hi...
I got an TP-LINK WR841N v13 with Openwrt 23.05.0 installed.
I downloaded reaver through opkg and it installed fine.
Since I really don't have enough space to install aircrack... I had to think another way to setup a monitor interface.
I searched google and one of the first results it's an archived post from the openwrt forum.
That post shows someone telling to add 4 lines to /etc/config/wireless and I did that to my file and rebooted.
When I go to Network -> Wireless, I see a new item named "?".
If I go to the shell and type ifconfig, I see mon0 listed.
I typed wash -i mon0, wash starts normally but no single station is picked.
So I started from scratch... I suddenly remember that if I use add button and open Mode dropdown, I can pick Monitor, so I did that, I have a new wireless instance with a name this time using Monitor mode... but.... wash -i phy0-mon0 still shows nothing. Not even wash .... -2 -a ...
Is there someone out there with experience using wash/reaver on a router running Openwrt?
Have you tried this with any previous versions of OpenWrt (such as 22.03.5)? Reason being that 23.05.0 isn't actually officially realeased yet (it is probably still building... more on that in the link below), and it would be good to know if it was working in a previous version and broke with the newest.
As you have found, the OpenWrt configuration system can start up a monitor interface directly, there is no need for airmon-ng. The monitor interface should be the only one on the radio device. Do not try to run an AP or STA at the same time on the same radio (that router only has one radio).
Yes, there are lots of wifi stations with WPS enabled, except mine own wifi router/modem provided by my isp.
I wanted to use this router (TP-LINK) to check the little far away from me.
IF I click SCAN from Network -> Wireless, I do see some networks that I can't see with a regular laptop antenna nor with an usb wireless dongle (In this case, I can see some far away networks but I have to check all directions to get the best reception).
When I click Add, I can select Monitor instead of Access Point.
Selecting Monitor, I can see ESSID (I put some dummy name like Mon) and Network which says Unspecified (I tried leaving as is and wwan).
In Advanced Settings, I simply left it as is as well.
Save, Save and Apply button, wash -i phy0-mon0 still shows nothing.
I just tried with a TP-LINK WR1043N v5, same basically plus a warning...
phy0 listed above phy0-mon0
I kind don't know how to downgrade. I always updated in-place. Should I just download the sysupgrade from 22.03 or lower and use the normal process of upgrade? Maybe 22.03 also will not do it but I got the feeling that I need perhaps 19.x or lower, as one post suggests.
That iw command is a neat trick to enable monitor mode without having to create a specific interface with Monitor mode, but... It also does not work.
When I type wash -i phy0-ap0 (or phy0-mon or phy0-sta0), wash runs but shows no station listed as I was saying at the beginning when I created the topic.
It should list things but it doesn't.
I am at middle of my house testing all this and when I click Scan (Network -> Wireless), I can see wifi networks that are impossible to see with a regular laptop, which proves that the TP-Link antennas are really good.
Yes download 22.3 version and flash It,Just Do not keep setting. I think the problema here could be the name of the interface. 22.3 version for sure work.
The name of the interface on 22.03 should be wlan0.
After fiddling around, I managed to do it. Indeed, 23.05 changes the wlan0 to phy0-xx.
So I downloaded 22.03.0...the firrmware.... then I realised there was 22.03.5 if I scrolled a bit more. Flashed the 22.03.5 ramips 76x8 without saving settings.
Then I had to turn off the wireless of this laptop because WR1043N uses 192.168.1.1 and WR841N will also 192.168.1.1 after reset/flash.
Entered Web Interface, changed hostname (just because), set a password, defined 192.168.2.1 as ip and 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 under 'use custom dns servers', a reboot.
Entered Web Interface again, Network -> Wireless , set a client using Scan button and connect to the WR1043N.
Then I joined shell via ssh, opkg update and opkg install reaver nano-plus.
Edited the /etc/config/wireless and added those 4 lines above. Saved. Rebooted.
Got rid of the client under Network -> Wireless, just left radio0 and the defeault disabled access point named Openwrt (EDIT: AND the interface '?' with Monitor Mode)..
Entered shell via ssh again.
I can see plenty of wireless networks.
I hope this gets fixed with 23.05 or so. OR perhaps a workaround thread.
Hope this thread helps others as well.
EDIT: Thanks Francesco and the others that tried to help. Very appreciated.
So... back in the days, there were always discussion regarding the best rotation for each class. I've always been a Shadow Warlock, and my few alts were created while simple mode was already available, so I've always played my alts with simple mode. But not for my Warlock, I've adapted my rotation to my needs and preferences.
But now, and being away for a few months, I'm feeling lost on where to start and build a rotation. So, I would like to ask you fellow WL is Simple Mode a viable source for dps, or is there a better rotation?
Simple mode in my opinion greatly helps out by doing half of the rotations for you taking away that exessive button smashing and in some cases gives you far higher speed for skill casting than what you can manually do. Some class specs won't benefit from it that much and messes things up mostly but for warlock it works nicely. Simple mode does the core rotation for you and the rest you have to do yourself to get the most out of ( which there aren't that many skills to do manually) and also lets you focus on dodging attacks more.
In the case of reaver skills you need to manually do are Doom, Soul Reave, Undercut, Reap if using that. As for rotation, you want to get Undercut off cooldown as quick as possible as it's your main dmg dealer by using Doom. And to reset Doom you use Soul Reave, quite simple tbf ?. Then using anything else to increase your reaver form, like Reap skill.
Reaver is pretty simple, but getting one going can be tough, mostly because of their stat requirements. Early game as most classes I like to put some points into Con at least but as a Reaver you can't really do that unless you find a ton of +Str/Mag items. My Reaver was a dwarf, which I felt was a good choice, but truthfully any race would work, I think. You might not have that much to spend the cat point on as a Cornac though.
Early game, like everyone says, you can usually just play a knockoff Corruptor. Have one point in Drain and Soul Rot and use them to nuke stuff from afar. Doing so in melee is way more damaging so if something's not dangerous to you, or you need it to die right now, you can fight it in melee in the same way. If any abilities are off cooldown, don't ever bump attack though, especially because even your melee special attacks trigger Corrupted Strength, which is why reavers do so much damage. The issue mainly is that your only defense is your spectacular offense -- you get pretty much no innate resistances (except one which I'll explain shortly), little mobility, and only one powerful if finicky defensive skill. So if you see a spellcaster you need to either have Bone Grab ready, use your movement infusion to get in its face, or teleport away.
Skillwise, it's best early game to pick up as many different abilities that you'll need later at 1 point, especially since each new attack ability is another turn you can get a Corrupted Strength proc on. You obviously want to max Corrupted Strength as soon as you can afford to because it's pretty much all of your damage. The Bone tree is good, but I'd only put one point in each of them, and try to max Bone Shield when you can. Bone Shield can be really powerful but it also has a special weakness for Reavers: each instance of retaliatory damage counts as a separate "hit", so if you use Rend with the Corrupted Strength hit on an enemy with damage on being hit, it'll chew up several charges. One point in Virulent Disease is nice, it does decent damage over time and can spellshock, which makes enemies take more magic damage. Vimsense and Leech are both good abilities to max eventually, the former reduces blight resist and the latter gives you health and vim when you get hit. Be careful that you don't use Vimsense in dangerous areas that you haven't explored nearby, sometimes you can overwhelm yourself by calling more enemies into the fight.
The Reaving Combat and Scourge trees are pretty much your main powerhouses and all the skills in them are probably worth maxing. However, if you intend to max your Scourge attacks, spread the points out rather than dump them all into one of the skills at a time. Each one gives you less and less per point, so that the second point in Dark Surprise is worth more than the last point in Rend, for example. In Reaving Combat, obviously Corrupted Strength is a no-brainer. Bloodlust will often be your main source of spellpower, which isn't nearly as important as it is for a Corruptor, but it still makes your spells hurt more, so it's still very good. Carrier doesn't seem like much since I'm not recommending you use diseases much, but the most threatening enemies to me midgame are the ghouls and corruptors, because their nukes add on a disease that lasts a long time, does a ton of damage, and reduces attributes. Maxing it will make you immune to that and make corruptors especially a lot less dangerous. (If you're a Thalore, you could skip maxing Carrier because your third racial will do it anyway.) Acid Blood I wasn't sure about at first, but it's definitely worth maxing. You're going to take hits, being melee, and it adds up to a lot of damage and is a decent debuff.
