Most people are creatures of habit, they reuse passwords, they pick familiar
passages. With a bit of snooping you can usually reduce the search space.
During a wpa2 hacking competition I was able to determine that the passphrase
was 15 characters long, and get a good guess at the first word which let my old

figure out how to pipe it directly to the program. Getting the additional
information was the key.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
