Merges all those APs MAC (separated by a comma) into a virtual one. If set, no status information is displayed. Set this option to the number of CPUs to use (only available on SMP systems). Select the target network based on the access point MAC address. For SSID containing special characters, see -b or -bssid

This option is also required for WPA cracking if the SSID is cloacked. Select the target network based on the ESSID. For cracking WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys, a wordlist (file or stdin) or an airolib-ng has to be used.įorce the attack mode, 1 or wep for WEP and 2 or wpa for WPA-PSK. The FMS/KoreK method incorporates various statistical attacks to discover the WEP key and uses these in combination with brute forcing.Īdditionally, the program offers a dictionary method for determining the WEP key. The second method is the FMS/KoreK method. The main advantage of the PTW approach is that very few data packets are required to crack the WEP key. The first method is via the PTW approach (Pyshkin, Tews, Weinmann). This part of the aircrack-ng suite determines the WEP key using two fundamental methods.

It can recover the WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been captured with airodump-ng. Is an 802.11 WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK key cracking program. Aircrack-ng - a 802.11 WEP / WPA-PSK key cracker
