Aircrack-ng forum

Well, the handshake indicates that "word" was used at the time. It might be possible it used the EAPOL frames from someone trying to connect with "word", depending on the version used.

I ran a test on my home network (spectrum route) with the actual password on a word list, as well as a few versions of our pass phrase. Aircrack returned the password without a 1 at the end.

I was able to get the WPA handshake by deauthing a device.

My network password is “word1” as an example
 Aircrack returned “word” as the password (I had both word1 and word in the word list)

“word” was our password a few months ago but we changed it to “word1” recently. I’m assuming something in the handshake is recognizing that? Thoughts on this?

I’m using “word” as a hypothetical as I’m not giving my real password away.

The code should be pretty helpful. It basically does the computation to see if the passphrase, hashed with the other needed values match what it has from the handshake. If yes, then that's the right passphrase.

You may want to look at hashcat for GPU cracking.

It does not appear to be used anymore.

The "MB" in the displayed output is "Speed" in the CSV.

I'm running airodump-ng v1.6 in kali and writing it to a csv file. I've noticed that some of the columns I'm getting do not match columns documented - probably now out-of-date. For instance, MB does not appear (but I don't care about this one), but my real question is What is the key column? It's usually empty, but sometimes text appears there. See attachment. I've searched all over but never found any documentation on what this column is.

I've deleted the BSSID's and ESSID's in the attachment.

Hello everyone, today i was wondering how does the aircrack program work. For what i have understood so far, once captured a WPA handshake using airodump you feed in the .cap file and a word list, and the programs starts cracking. The problem is that its very slow, and so i wanted to accelerate it using the gpu, but in order to do that, i first need to know what is aircrack trying to break (PSK, PMK, GTK) and how. Thanks in advance to everyone replying

It is fairly vague, so you'll have to show a screenshot (copy and paste text between the 'code' tags).

Hi,
While airodumb, I am not seeing the BSSID of the AP, which my secondary laptop is connected( got through netsh  wlan show intetfaces). Seems confused. What will be the reason?

Dear misterx,

I could not get a plausible response from my colleague in the industry.  Thank you for the help you have provided.

What change?
