Aircrack or Cowpatty for WPA dictionary attacks?

[TrialAndError]

I've tried using both Aircrack and Cowpatty to crack WPA with a dictionary attack, and so far my findings suggest that Aircrack is quicker. I find that i get about 36 keys/second from Cowpatty and about 96 keys/second using Aircrack.

Is there any reason to use Cowpatty instead of Aircrack, except for maybe Rainbow Tables, or are there things i'm just not appreciating about Cowpatty?

Well...you could just figure it all out yourself using "trial and error" then.

I'm glad you asked this question.

To test 172,779 passphrases at 44.89 passphrases/second would take 64+ minutes. On the other hand, by creating the hash tables ahead of time (approximate time of generation was 30 minutes), I was able to test all 172,779 passphrases in 2.68 seconds. This is an approximate increase of 3+ orders of magnitude!

LMFAO!! .............He said dic.............tionary

They always told me that it wasn't the size of your dic........tionary....that it was really about the way and how you use your dic..........tionary. And I've been told that a lot by many women....I mean by bruteforcers.
