Part 2. Cracking AT&T WPA1/2 with python script and hashcat.
Once you get the four way handshake from part 1.
My python script can be found here. It creates a CPU pool based on how many cores you have. Based on python 2.7.3 and Linux OS.
What the script does is count from 000000000 to 9999999999 skipping any number that has three repeating numbers in a row. so you wont have keys like 1234555678 because it repeats 5 three times. This is because AT&T decided to make their numbers to random cutting their key space down. Its faster to count through and skip past repeating numbers then to process each number.
To change what the programs start on open it and change the following line to whatever you want:
start = str(7)
To run the program pipe it to hashcat-plus.
python 2wireWPAiter.py | ./oclHashcat-plus64.bin -m 2500 -a 0 --gpu-accel=160 --gpu-loops=1024 ../dir/2WIREHandShake.hccap
To get more info on hashcat look here.
straight brute force on known key starting with 7 saved over an hour.
