Hi!
I got this message:
"Opening airportSnifft****.cap
No matching network found - check your bssid.

Quitting aircrack-ng..."
I set the [TARGET_MAC_ADDRESS] with "14:5f:94:::**"
What i doing wrong?

[00:00:06] Tested 818473 keys (got 33593 IVs) this take the whole 12 hours since the target may have little network activity
