capturing the handshake with command:

-0 is used for deauth attack
100 is no. of deauth packets to be sent Select Month
-a is the target AP MAC address

After launching the deauth attack we will get the WPA handshake in the previous terminal window in
the top right corner then hit ctrl^c.
Now we have to crack the password with aircrack-ng so type command :
aircrack-ng 1-01.cap –w /usr/share/nmap/nselib/data/passwords.lst
Here,
1-01.cap is the capture le we generated in the airodump-ng .
-w is the dictionary to be used to perform dictionary attack
In my case the key is found as KEY FOUND! [raj123987]
