I thought I would return to this thread to share an experience I have recently had with WPAclean, Aircrack and Hashcatplus.
I made a test capture and as usual I used WPAclean on the .cap file. After doing so Aircrack said there was no handshake within the new cleaned .cap. So I tested the original .cap file in Aircrack and it worked ! So there is clearly some sort of problem with WPAclean.
Interestingly and the reason I am writing here is that when I used the Aircrack –J option to make a hcap file from the original cap (not the WPAclean one) that file worked very well in hashcatplus and successfully found my password.
So in my case, Aircrack –J option works better directly on a weak or damaged cap file than on one that has been passed through WPAclean.
