Hi mux, thx for the link. I know the minimum length for wpa is 10 but for a specific brand of routers in my area
I noticed that the company uses a fixed size of 10 which is arrangements of "ABCDEF1234567890".And I know that it
most possibly has the default phrase(wpa-psk) so that is why I use no dictionary.
I am not sure how fast cowpatty is. I ran it in vmware on a 3.4 GHz CPU and noticed something like 1000 keys per 3 seconds.
I also did some math and if they are correct then it's not worth it.
I have 6 letters (ABCDEF) and 10 digits (1234567890). That makes a sum of 16.
The size of each key is 10. So:
16^10 = 1099511627776 combinations(keys)
Cowpatty checks about 1000 combianations every 3 seconds
3 secs checks 1000 keys
x secs checks 1099511627776 keys
x = 0.003 x 1099511627776
= 3298534883,328 secs
= 916259,68981333333333333333333333 hours
= 38177,487075555555555555555555556 days
= 1272,5829025185185185185185185185 months
= 104,59585500152207001522070015221 years
Am I missing something? Is there a better way?
