Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Bettercap
bettercap -iface wlan1 - Run the commands once inside the interface (see commands above)
Expected behavior:
Bettercap will continue to deauth the listed Client BSSID even if bettercap has already collected a handshake for the clients AP
Actual behavior:
Bettercap deauths targets until handshake is captured and then bettercap skips deauthing Client because it has already captured the handshake for the clients AP. In essence, it ignores the set wifi.deauth.aquired true and will skip deauthing clients and APs regardless what wifi.deauth.aquired it is set to.
