Aircrack PTW vs Aircrack-ng

Post by hijodeputa » Tue Dec 09, 2008 4:51 pm

I have been using Aircrack-ng to crack my own wep key. I can crack a 10 digit wep key in about 15 minutes. A 26 digit key takes about 30 minutes.

I'm always looking for new tools to try. Hence, my Aircrack PTW question.

Have any of you who have used both Aircrack PTW and -ng see a difference in the time it takes to crack the key?

How about other tools that do the same thing?

Thanks.

Time to crack the key depends entirely upon how much wireless data you've collected.

... let's assume that you have the same number of captured unique ivs.

Does one program need less captured unique ivs than the other?

Does one program do it faster than the other.

Are there programs that do it faster yet?
