It is only worth it if you know that you are going to reuse the precomputed table over and over again.Īfter many years, Dlink has started assigning different SSIDs to their router (Dlink.1234)

but you'll spend a lot of time computing. If you spend your days assessing networks, that, maybe, could be useful with SSIDs such as "Linksys" etc. The SSID is used as "salt" in the hash, hence you'll have to precompute a different one for each SSID. The precomputed PMK (Pairwise Master Key) has pros and cons. I would split the Dic in two and reverse one (start from bottom up) or use multiple dictionaries. Yes, copy the Dumplog and the Dictionary(ies) and use as many as you want. I have multiple Macs, can I speed up the key recovery? One solution is to stop Aircrack, note carefully the name of the last key checked, and edit your Wordlist few keys before, save under a temp name and restart when ready. Hold your horses! There is no real pause when running a Wordlist on Aircrack-ng
