So now it's time to see how well they're protected by extracting data from them, which might lead us to the network password. We've look at WiFite previously for extracting web passwords and I'll use it again for extracting the WPA handshake. WiFite sends client deauthentication requests to force a reauthentication handshake, which can be captured and subsequently analyzed. I'll instruct WiFite to give me a random MAC address and to verify the handshake using Aircrack.
