So, I'd say I'm one level above n00b. I've gotten to the point where I have accomplished a WPA Handshake (and saved the output as xxx-01.cap). I have also downloaded these hash tables (if that is the right term for a .hash file). I've learned how to use crunch - but it is obviously insanely slow. I read somewhere that you can scan hash tables at about 18000 keys/sec on a fast computer (mine is a MacBook Pro - maybe someone could help me figure out how well mine will fair). I am using aircrack-ng to accomplish the handshake - and I've been told I can use JTR, cowPATTY, Reaver, oclHashcat, etc., but I can't figure out how to get aircrack-ng to work with one of these programs, so that I can parse the .hash files. Right now, from what I have read - I am approaching it from the angle that I need to use a program like oclHashcat. However, dodue to my computer specs (Intel 3rd gen onboard graphics) - oclHashcat won't work. I am now under the impression that I need to convert the .hash files to a .cap file. I also was able to get one of the above programs to work with aircrack-ng on a single .hash file - but I realized they all need to be the same name as the ESSID you are trying to crack. I tried simply merging them with the mv command - but I knew in my heart of hearts that wouldn't work! I am using Kali Linux - any help would be appreciated (stergling n00b).

What to do with .hash files when cracking WPA2
