[kismac] Re: WPA Data Packets

No, because a strong passphrase was chosen I was not able to recover the WPA key. This is actually the kind of finding I like to get during a wireless assessment.

So once you were able to get that was a dictionary attack successful?

I have collected over 1500 data packets yet kismac still says I need more?

For WPA dictionary attacks, you need to capture the authentication handshake between a valid client and the access point. I have done this for wireless assessments by sending a deauthentication packet targeted to the specific client BSSID. Once the client disconnects and reconnects to the AP, you have your WPA handshake.

So what is the min # of data packets before you can start a bruteforce wordlist attack?
