Last night I was exploring the feasibility of cracking the WPA2 key of my own router at home. I set out on a late night adventure, set up a couple devices and, knowing the default password convention of the manufacturer, setup a Hashcat instance with the relevant masks on my laptop, created a Crunch wordlist and ran aircrack on my Raspberry Pi 3, and thought "Hey - maybe there's something for Android too."

Hashcat on Android is a cat based social media app. I'm a little scared.

    Running an 8 digit long password from a preCrunched wordlist takes 9 days :) mainly used my Pi to capture the handshake, but thought why not try it out for this too

    In comparison, my laptop (i7, 880M) took 12 mins

    I once saw an ISP sending out preconfigured routers with 8 randomised hex numbers as preset passwords. In other words, 32 bits. You cover that entire search space in about 3.6 hours with Hashcat and an Nvidia GTX 1080.

    @Grumpy interesting how the increased characterset has such an influence, looking to get myself a 1080 build sometime next year
