# Performing WiFi Password Cracking with Aircrack-ng
## When to Use
- Assessing the strength of WPA/WPA2/WPA3 passphrases during authorized wireless penetration tests
- Testing whether wireless networks are using weak or default passwords that can be cracked offline
- Capturing and analyzing 4-way handshakes to evaluate wireless authentication security
- Demonstrating the risks of WEP, weak WPA2 passphrases, and PMKID-based attacks to stakeholders
- Validating that enterprise wireless networks use 802.1X/EAP instead of pre-shared keys
**Do not use** against wireless networks without explicit written authorization, for disrupting wireless communications, or for capturing handshakes of networks you do not have permission to test.
## Prerequisites
- Written authorization specifying in-scope SSIDs and wireless networks
