aircrack tested 0 keys. Help?

[combat]

I've got a network where I've captured roughly 40,000 IVs. The key was decrypted successfully and unless I'm missing a step I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

This is a WEP network that I'm using a dictionary attack on.

Here is the input and output in terminal.

root@peepee:~# aircrack-ng -c -w /root/Downloads/500-worst-passwords.txt /root/Desktop/FBI-02.cap
Opening /root/Desktop/FBI-02.cap

Quitting aircrack-ng...

Zero key because the key is not in the dictionary that you were using. you can try wifite or wifite-ng.

Does it really test the keys THAT fast? My dictionary file is somewhere close to 250mb. The elapsed time also shows 00:00:00, which to me means it never started. Am I wrong?

Your dictionary for WEP may not be correct.
Could you show us a couple of line from it?

This is just the first few lines

123456
password
12345678
1234
*****
12345
dragon
qwerty
696969
mustang
letmein

I tried wifite, pixiewps, reaver, aircrack. The signal is around -50 where I can get the best signal...maybe it's just not strong enough?

that wordlist is not for WEP, it's for WPA.

Makes sense why it wouldn't work. I'm a noob so I didn't know. How would WEP look?

[kcdtv]

It has to be in hexadecimal.form (the "long key" with two points (":") in your aircrack-ng windows)

if you crack a 64bits WEP it should be something like this

12:34:56:78:90
AA:BB:33:55:FF

Ten hexadecimal digits with pair separated by two points.

If your network in encrypted with WEP 128 bits than it has to be like this

11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00:AA:BB:CC
FF:EE:12:34:56:78:90:B1:23:45:89:00:77

26 hexadecimal digits separated by two points.

unless you have a clear idea about a pattern to follow it is not possible to brute force it ... even if the charset is limited to hexadecimal that still 26 digits long!

There are some great tutorials on the aircrack-ng website. I recommend going through them...they will really help you get the most out of aircrack.
