NAME
       aircrack ng   a 802.11 WEP / WPA PSK key cracker

SYNOPSIS
       aircrack ng [options] <.cap / .ivs file(s)>

DESCRIPTION
       aircrack ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA/WPA2 PSK key cracking program.
       It can recover the WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been captured with airodump ng. This part of the aircrack ng suite determines the WEP key using
       two fundamental methods. The first method is via the PTW approach (Pyshkin, Tews, Weinmann). The main advantage of the PTW approach is  that  very  few  data
       packets  are  required to crack the WEP key. The second method is the FMS/KoreK method. The FMS/KoreK method incorporates various statistical attacks to dis 
       cover the WEP key and uses these in combination with brute forcing.
       Additionally, the program offers a dictionary method for determining the WEP key. For cracking WPA/WPA2 pre shared keys, a wordlist (file  or  stdin)  or  an
       airolib ng has to be used.

OPTIONS
        H,   help
              Shows the help screen.

       Common options:

        a 
              Force the attack mode, 1 or wep for WEP and 2 or wpa for WPA PSK.

        e 
              Select the target network based on the ESSID. This option is also required for WPA cracking if the SSID is cloacked. For SSID containing special char 
              acters, see http://www.aircrack ng.org/doku.php?id=faq
