Bug Description

While auditing my wireless network I realized the -wpa attacks do not work currently since it seems wifite is unable to capture handshake packets (it keeps cycling between deauthing and listening but never manages to capture handshakes).

This obviously makes attacks against WPA fail.

Versions tested on:
vivid, up to date as of 8th of Aug 2015.

$ apt-cache policy wifite
