How To Crack Wifi Password In Windows Aircrack-ng Using 4 Way Handshake Capature File

First, you need to get a 4way handshake from the device to find out the wifi password. The procedure for saving a 4-way handshake using CommView for wifi is explained in another post.

Watch the following video

1. Download and extract aircrack-ng

2. Go to the ‘bin‘ folder and open aircrack-ng Gui

3. Choose capture file (4way handshake cap file)

4. Here we are trying to find out the WPA password. So select WPA

5. Now select the dictionary file. It is actually a list of possible password. You can crack the WPA password only if the password is in this dictionary. The bigger the dictionary higher the chance to break the WPA password. You can download popular dictionary file from the internet.
