Ι think aircrack-ng is really capable to break a WEP key. But nowadays most wifi networks are WPA. This is what says in aircrack site for WPA

You must sniff until a handshake takes place between a wireless client and the access point. To force the client to reauthenticate, you can start a deauth attack with aireplay-ng. Also, a good dictionary is required.

FYI, it's not possible to pre-compute large tables of Pairwise Master Keys like rainbowcrack does, since the passphrase is salted with the ESSID.
So the point is that is very difficult to use aircrack for the majority of wifi networks... Or am I wrong?
