Hi,
This isn't really practical. With Rainbow crack you have to supply the hash
of the password which is then looked up in the tables. You could only do
something like this if you had the hashed PSK. From what I understand the
PKS is never transmitted. So how are you going to get a hold of the hash?
You could try to extrapolate it from a capture but it's only used for the
initial authentication. Which in turn means you'd have to capture about
15,000 authentications.
It would be easier to just crack the password on the AP or a client and read
the PSK off of it. IMOH

Subject: Rainbowtables for WPA PSK?
Without studying the ins and outs, I think it should be possible to generate
rainbowtables for WPA PSKs. Especially since on-the-fly cracking takes quite
some time per crypt and most users use a alphanumeric characterset for the
pass. It my assumption right? Anyone already working on this subject? Please
let me know!
Gz,
Jeroen
