First of all i greet you all and thank you in advance for reading my question. I am a newbie Kali/Linux user and i am currently doing the challenge of cracking a WPA 10-Digit Hex protected wifi network. For that purpose i am using the aircrack-ng suite.
I managed to deauth a client and get a 4-way handshake packet. However, the default password list included in the aircrack suite [password.lst] does not contain the key i am looking for.
I then decided to use crunch to generate a password list with the parameters i need, like this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@kali:~# crunch 10 10 ABCDEF0123456789 /root/Desktop/passwordlists/hex10.lstCrunch will now generate the following amount of data: 12094627905536 bytes
11534336 MB
11264 GB
11 TB
0 PB
Crunch will now generate the following number of lines: 1099511627776
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 TB? OMFG!!!
Ok, since i know that the key is composed of five sets of pairs, and there are four types of pair (Letter-Letter, Number-Letter, Letter-Number, Number-Number) i thought if reducing the size of the list or lists generated by adding parameters to crunch. However, even with those patters, the total number of lists possible is 4^5= 1024.
My question is: How can i generate a password list for my needs that can that is inside the 100GB size range?
Is there any other approach to hacking this?
I aprecciate ur help,
Regards.
