So I was trying to capture a WPA handshake from my network.
I first tried to do in manually with
Code:
aireplay-ng --deauth 10 -a 00:**:**:6E:**:** -c 00:1C:**:3A:**:** mon0
I did send countless of DeAuth's, see below:
Code:
21:07:47 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [12|41 ACKs]
21:07:47 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [16|30 ACKs]
21:07:48 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [16|19 ACKs]
21:07:48 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [22|20 ACKs]
21:07:50 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [33|46 ACKs]
21:07:51 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [26|52 ACKs]
21:07:52 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [27|56 ACKs]
21:07:53 Sending 64 directed DeAuth. STMAC: [00:1C:**:3A:**:**] [18|53 ACKs]
for about 10 minutes or about 500 DeAuth's with no luck on the handshake.
I then launched wiffy to see if wiffy was able to capture the handshake (I'm still quite a beginner and suspected that I did something wrong.)
Wiffy found the handshake after about 10 seconds and I had a nearly empty wordlist for wiffy, just so I would get the *.cap.
I then tried to crack the cap file wiffy generated with cowpatty. With the results:
"End of pcap capture file, incomplete four-way handshake exchange. Try using a different capture."
I then tried to run the *.cap file that wiffy generated into aircrack-ng
Code:
aircrack-ng /root/wiffy/wiffy-NAMEOFCAP.cap -w /root/internal/wordlist/testlist.lst
and aircrack just launches and starts to plow thru my wordlist.
This brought some questions, not all of them are directly related to wiffy I hope it's OK to post them anyways.
Is the CAP incomplete since cowPatty wont take it?
Or does cowPatty require different information then what aircrack-ng does?
Could wiffy caputre a incomplete handshake?
Why did I fail to manually DeAuth my laptop, was the signal strength too low? (As I understood by reading about aireplay-ng the low ACK count could be because of bad signal strength)
