Title: How to crack more than one .cap file at once?
Post by: puzzler on May 13, 2015, 11:54:43 am

I want to crack more than one .cap file at once. Is this possible. It costs a lot of time to crack all single .cap files. You have to repeat whole password cracking process for every single .cap file. Can you put all .cap handshakes into one file and then start to crack with aircrack-ng?

Well, that's only possible if all of those handshakes (I guess) belong to the same ESSID and it is kind of pointless to run on another handshake (unless you want to validate what you got).

If they are using a different ESSID, there is no more efficient way to do it.

The reason is that when doing the math to calculate the temporary keys, the ESSID is part of the equation.
