will this actually work with WPA networks? "-a 1" specifies for WEP, and WAP cracking requires dictionaries (-w option)

I am getting this
`
Attack failed. Possible reasons:

 * Out of luck: you must capture more IVs. Usually, 104-bit WEP
   can be cracked with about 80.000 IVs, sometimes more.

 * Try to raise the fudge factor (-f).

Please specify a dictionary (option -w).`

So stupid, I found why it happens.

Based on [THIS LINK], it seems like en1 is the interface of Wireless only when you have an ethernet port. On my MacBook Pro, I don't, so en0 is the only one I have !

sudo airport en0 sniff [CHANNEL]

Hopefully it helps !

Hello how do I sniff with airport and use aircrack-ng using an Alfa AWUS036AC USB 3.0 adapter on a MacBook Pro? When I type ifconfig in Terminal my USB wifi adapter doesn't show up.

Mac has built in sniffer for getting handshakes, why airport is needed for that? Also I'm wondering is the aircrack mechanism based on getting handshakes and after try to recover password from hccapx with hashcat?
