The guy says he has precomputed his db in 3 hours rotflol
Airlib-ng uses the same idea as the CoFW Rainbow Tables. You have to have the SSID/passphrase combinations precomputed. The Time-Memory Trade Off remains the same. If you have SSID/passphrase combinations that are repeatable, then pre-computing the hash combinations (whether it's the CoWF WPA Rainbow Tables or via the airolib-ng PMK tables) makes sense, because you compute the hashes once, yet can use them over and over. Essentially, you are doing the brute forcing one time, but are reusing the results.
If you have a unique SSID, creating a hash table for that SSID with a password list should work out to about the same time as a brute force attack, assuming all the other elements are equal. If you have a unique SSID and a random passphrase, the odds of cracking it approach zero.
Again, you can't beat the math.

That might be true if he is using a small wordlist, and if it were only a single SSID.Originally Posted by alan-smithee

But with a 135 MB wordlist ???
What unit of measure is a Mo?
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Regardless of the size of the wordlist his reasoning is seriously flawed. If he was able to compute the hash table in 3 hours there is no reason it should take longer than this to run the dictionary against the WPA handshake in the first place.

Hu, it's the french translation of Mega-Byte (Mega-octet)
Hi all,
Actually, you can stop computing and start again later from the same point with databases, that's an advantage, believe me.
I'm currently computing a 475 millions words dictionnary, and if I had to let my computer process all day I would have some trouble using it for about a month...
With aircrack, stopping would cause having to start all over again...
