Well, Offline Password Cracking describes the Method/Way to obtain a plaintext Password from an Hash (e.g. MD5 or SHA512 etc.).
What you normally would do is obtaining a Password Hash by, as epixoip said, sniffing it of the Wire (For Example Wireshark) and then feed this Hash to your (ocl)Hashcat by supplying the Type of the Hash and, to get quicker Results, a Wordlist with which Hashcat can compare the given Hash.
I hope, the Explenation is correct - if not, I' pretty sure epixoip will correct me on this ;-)
