Using Aircrack-ng with John the Ripper
John the Ripper is a password-cracking program
that is supported on most operating systems.
It includes customizable word-mangling rules
that can essentially expand a wordlist without any additional effort.
For instance, if a wordlist contains the lower-case word of “password”,
JtR’s default rules will try “Password”, “password1”, etc.
We can leverage the powerful word-mangling capabilities of JtR,
and pipe the output into aircrack-ng
to broaden our password-cracking capabilities.
