Please post any new questions and answers at ask.wireshark.org.
What's the network encryption - WEP, WPA, WPA2? And, more importantly, why do you have to brute force the password?
The network encryption is WPA2.I want just to experiment and achieve new skills :)
bwt I readed for that I need a dictionary for this but I can do this with aircrack too.So my question is there another way to decrypt the password without dictionary using Wireshark.I just need to learn how :)
Wireshark is not the tool for you - it assumes you know the keys.
Which keys I have captured the wpa2 handshake.
The handshake is not enough, you need the WLAN password. Wireshark decodes packets for known passwords, it doesn't bruteforce.
ok thanks for the information
