Aircrack is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks:
|
> airodump.exe |
|
BSSID
PWR Beacons # Data CH MB
ENC ESSID |

BSSID
PWR Beacons # Data CH MB
ENC ESSID |
|
# aircrack.exe -x -0 out.ivs |

Note: In my experience, using Aircrack is the best tool compare to others. Aircrack on Linux supports packet injection which means we can increase the traffic, so we need only few hours to capture sufficient packets. Otherwise you will need several days.
Here is other my reports.
| Tool | OS | CPU usage | Encryption | 802. | NIC Support | Packet injection | My recommendation |
