WPA2 password crack - snurfer - 04-19-2021
Hi, I am trying to crack WPA2 password which is WQE1L18541470
hashcat -a 0 -m 2500 -o result.txt eapol.hccapx /wordlist/crackstation.txt
I have cracked my wifi pass which was 20041266 in 2 minutes using the rockyou.txt
Now the password is WQE1L18541470, length of 13. How can I optimize the cracking method?
I tried using some custom charset and it led to cracking time around thousands of years.
Should I use other wordlists or maybe there are other tricks I can try?

well you can always create your own dictionary with the correct answer in it and have it search your one line text file.
Alternatively you could do something a little less direct using a mask to waste more time, but don't feel like your completely cheating: -a 3 ?U?U?U?d?U?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
or if that takes too long
-a 3 -1 WQEL ?1?1?1?d?1?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
-a 3 -1 WQEL -2 014578 ?1?1?1?2?1?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2
etc etc etc

You can try to retrieve the PSK from a weak CLIENT.
Example is here:
