Cowpatty 4.5 in Backtrack4 

Josh Wright updated coWPAtty to version 4.5. This version includes some awesome new improvements:

* Fewer restrictions on collecting the data needed to mount an attack. The default behavior requires all 4 frames of the 4-way handshake to mount an attack. If you specify "-2" on the command-line, coWPAtty will only require frames 1 and 2 of the 4-way handshake to mount an attack.

* Validate that the needed information is present to mount an attack, without launching the attack (the "-c" option). This was requested by Pure Hate for an awesome project he gave me a preview on. I'm hoping details of this project will be public soon."
( More details can be found at http://www.willhackforsushi.com/?p=284http://www.willhackforsushi.com/?p=284 )

The more interesting of these improvements, is removing the requirement for 4 frames. This means that you can crack the passphrases more easily, because you only need 2 frames to do it. coWPAtty FTW!

Josh, keep up the good work.

coWPAtty 4.5 has been added to BackTrack 4. Enjoy!
