For cracking WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys, only a dictionary method is used. SSE2 support is included to dramatically speed up WPA/WPA2 key processing. A “four-way handshake” is required as input. For WPA handshakes, a full handshake is composed of four packets. However, aircrack-ng is able to work successfully with just 2 packets. EAPOL packets (2 and 3) or packets (3 and 4) are considered a full handshake.
After airodump-ng capture enough encrypted packets , aircrack-ng can recover the WEP key.
You need to have a four way handshake in order to crack wpa/wpa2 pre shared keys.
After that you import the wordlist which will try to crack the wifi passcode.

@dR.0xYw0Rm ok so u don't need a wordlist to get a wep password but you need it for wpa ?
RE: How is it working? - dR.0xYw0Rm - 10-16-2013
Bruteforcing process will need years to crack a passcode so the best way to go is with wordlist.
The best way to use brute force is if you know a some hint about the password you're trying to get.
Example: How long is the password ,does it has numbers, %@#& etc..
If you know these things then you could use. Like if the password had letters and numbers in it, and was about 8 length, then you could cut it down and shorten the time span on your cracking.

@dR.0xYw0Rm well i'm not taking about bruteforce !! i was talking abut airecrack !! i'm lot now but anw th for ur help i'll just read more about it

Bruteforce is a method used by Aircrack. I think you have to read a little so you will understand what I mean. About helping , you are welcome. That's why I am here.
See you around

@dR.0xYw0Rm ok so now hats all what i was trying to understand you should have told me this from the beginning
i already know what bruteforce is but didnt knew that aircrack uses bruteforce now it's all clear thx again

Time for a shameless self plug methinks :epic: if you are interested have a look at my WiFi tutorial here

Once a friend of mine cracked a WPA2/PSK password for two weeks:Grin:
It took pretty long time to crack. How someone waited for so long..

As i said, it was a challenge. The owner of that Wifi was some kind of IT security specialist or something and he had created a strong password to maximize the security.

Ooh. that's great. So, your friend defeated IT Master well..
