Brute-force WPA dictionary attack
If you are auditing WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK networks, you can use this tool to identify weak passphrases that were used to generate the PMK. Supply a libpcap capture file that includes the 4-way handshake, a dictionary file of passphrases to guess with, and the SSID for the network.
