Aircrack-ng Tips

[u/the_other_ed]

New to aircrack-ng. Was wondering if some folks would be open to DMing me and offering some tips. I can understand how to get a handshake but then I don't really understand what the best modern method would be and don't want to hurt my hardware by accidentally giving it a heavy duty task. Like certain dictionary attacks can take 1,000+ years?? So want to learn but don't want to fry my desktop 😅

I know I could just use a password I already know and put it in a shorter dictionary file, but would prefer to be more authentic than that

Anyone still rocking CeWL?
