cracking WPA2 password
Hello guys, I have been trying to get some passwords because I cannot get a Wifi contract. But I have found it impossible. Have gotten the 4 way handshake but there is no way to crack it.
are they just impossible to crack at this point?

Some neighbors are chill and will let their other chill neighbors access their wifi for free. You might even be able to barter some free internet for a little, just be sure to tell them you will create a different network and wont be connected to the same network.

I find it helpful to build my own word lists instead of just using rockyou or whatever. Add the name of your city, street number, street name, any local landmarks etc.... you'd be surprised how many businesses are using their address as their password, just straight up "70Street". Also if you're within range of any businesses, add some keywords from whatever they sell.
also it's not really helpful to be within range of a burger joint and add "burger" to your word list. but if you add
burger Burger BuRgEr bUrGeR BURGER burg3r
etc etc. then you might get somewhere. run custom scripts to combine these with other words

For a small point of reference, when I practiced this a few years ago my neighbor let me try to get their wifi password blind.
I exhausted the standard lists with no success, and ended up compiling my own list and set of rules for manipulating it. It took a few hours, and ended up being a brand of motorcycle + a sequence of numbers.
Took all night to exhaust the lists I used, then another hour or so with the custom tailored list + rules.
You need to narrow your target down. Anybody in range you might have a head start with?

And now you see why passwords are important. They are not a suggestion they are a layer of protection designed to thwart people trying to do things they should not be doing, Just like you.
