Good afternoon, I sniffering 4 eapol messages and i save my .pcap file. I try to install and i open wireshark and i found the 4 eapol message but i don't know how to decrypt in order to find a clear password in order to connect on wifi network near of me. Many thanks for your help
It is possible with very old and insecure encryption methods like WEP that no one uses anymore to crack with a fair number of encrypted packets. It is also possible to crack WPA and WPA2 if the password chosen is short via the EAPOL packets using a dictionary attack. That involves just guessing lots of keys, and takes a long time for unusual long keys. There are various tools that can help with that, like aircrack-ng Note that WPA3 is not vulnerable to the same methods.

If it's your network, or one that you have permission to access you should have the key.
AFAIK, there's no way to obtain the password from a capture. The key, combined with the 4 eapol messages, derive a session key to encrypt traffic so decryption requires the same elements.
I think it's possible. Otherwise there are other method to find wifi password nearby without to know the key? Many thanks.
