In response to some PMs I am getting.

1. If you are having difficulty installing this, persevere. It is how ALL of us learned to do this stuff in the first place. My first linux computer was a hp jornada 680, it didn't even have a gui when I started. It took me over a week (see over 20 hours) of hitting my head off a concrete penguin just to connect the thing to my university's wifi. It was back when WPA supplicant had EVEN LESS DOCUMENTATION. Point is, just persevere, you will be a better person after it!

2. Rainbow tables for WPA. MUTS from backtrack had a hand in generating these rainbow tables. These beasts are around 2GB in size each and only the top 200 ssids are covered. I estimate an n900 might be able to crunch through these 49 MILLION(!) password dictionaries in around an hour.

Be warned, some of these tables are broken, for example the belkin54g table (I think) has a capital letter at the start (DOH!) rendering it completely worthless (unless someone changed their SSID to it)
