@jedid123 It's a standard Ubuntu desktop install.

not really cracking when you already know the pass lol

@cbilljones Spending hours waiting for the program to crack a real-life scenario would be pointless.

This video is only meant to show how to use aircrack-ng to break into poorly-secured wireless network.

I strongly wonder, that this passphrase is in ANY dictionary of the world ;)

With the found key I calculated 768909704948766668552634368 possibilities.

It would be clearer if the found passphrase were e.g.: susann79 or something which could really be in a dictionary.

@francwalter Thanks for the suggestion!

[Mariolinoho]

@ChristopherTarnowski yeah, but the passlist?

@LilEd1988

Yep, the number of possibilities in that case would be: 62^18!
