# Wifi Broken

## Challenge Description

I suspect my former friend is upto something wrong. I tried to access his network but for that, I need the password to his wifi. Enclose the password in pearl{} when you find it.

## Solution

Basically, aircrack-ng takes each word and tests to see if this is in fact the pre-shared key.

So you can crack the wifi password using `aircrack-ng` using the following command:

`aircrack-ng -w /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt findme.cap`
