If you don't have a compatible wireless adapter, there are alternative ways to import the required data. Note that if you're using a trial or Standard edition, the packets will be captured, but you will not be able to import them for further password recovery this feature is available in the Professional edition only (for more details, see Limitations of unregistered version and Registration). Once you get the handshake, press Stop sniffing and OK. Please note that some adapters may work correctly only if the Accept correct frames only option is turned off. If that option is enabled, protection from lost handshakle packets is enabled automatically. Once the handshake packets are captured, they are shown in the program:Īll captured packets can be mirrored into a pcap-file (for further analysis in third-party software). Do note that, if you use this option, you could miss proper handshakes on currently inactive channels while the program monitors another channel. In this case, the program will monitor all channels one after another.
You can also monitor several channels at once by pressing Multiple. The program will start monitoring the selected channel across all wireless networks in range. Select an access point and press Use selected. If you're unsure about the channel, press, and the program will start monitoring all channels you can press Save at any time to save the list of available networks:

Once the drivers for the adapter and NDIS drivers are installed, select the correct device (for AipPCap adapters, it is typically listed as \\.\airpcap00 device) and channel and press.

Even generic noname adapters may work correctly if you can find a stable driver that does not cause the program (or the system) to fail.
