[1] Aircrack is another program that's even simpler to use, as no command need to be entered; instead the user is asked to type in some parameters and click some buttons.
First airodump is started to gather the packets; herefore channel and MAC-filter are asked, yet the user does not need to know them per se (instead 0 and p may be inputted respectively).
Then, AirCrack is started, the file just created by airodump is accessed, a 0 needs to be entered and the program determines the key.
AirSnort is a software program that passively collects traffic on an IEEE 802.11b network that was released in August 2001.
As the software makes use of brute-force attack however, cracking the encryption can take between a few hours to several days, based on the activity on the network.
