Need some tips - skija - 03-23-2018
Hello guys I'm new to all of this and I read the rules and wanted to ask you guys for any tips on cracking WPA2 hash, how would you guys do it? Also I see there is increment option how would command look with it for example from 8 to 10 characters? Thanks in advance

Also I noticed performance decrease.

Read the advice that is provided in an alternate color in the output.
You also probably want -O and -w 3 or higher (if you can stand the desktop lag).

As far as I know, using '-O' has no effect on WPA.

Ah, yes - good catch (though I usually tell people to always add it regardless, because 99.9% of the time, they don't want longer candidate passwords (and if they do, they either usually already know better, or they're trying an attack that will never work anyway)).

Guys thanks so much for answers! I did search for performance optimization and found out -w parametar
