  • Converting handshake to wrong hash type.

Step 3: Brute-Force Mask Attack If the target is a default ISP router where the password format is known (e.g., 8 numeric digits, or 10 alphanumeric uppercase): Step 3: Brute-Force Mask Attack If the target

Handshake Failure: The process of cracking a Wi-Fi password often involves capturing a "handshake" - a series of data packets that are exchanged between a device and a Wi-Fi access point when the device connects to the network. This handshake can be used to verify the password. 8 numeric digits
