title: Using aircrack on Windows to Crack my WPA
body: <p>I'm new to hacking and security in general.  I wanted to learn a few things so I'm trying to break into my Wifi which is using WPA security.  I've been googling and trying to find a way to do that for windows.  What I found that has been helpful is this tutorial: </p>

  <p>I've downloaded an older aircrack version (aircrack-ng-1.0-rc3-win) and Comm for Wifi like in the video.  I ran the Comm for Wifi and I have packets that have the handshake protocol like this:</p>

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I insert the packet log into the aircrack GUI along with my wordlist.  I get an error saying there no handshakes when very clearly in the log there are several handshakes.  I used a .pcap file from the aircrack website (along with the same password list) and aircrack works fine with that .pcap file.  I've compared their .pcap file with mine and I don't see a difference between them besides the obvious ESSID's and BSSID's and other small details but it looks like the same type of handshake packets are there.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm very new to this and I understand that probably Windows is not the best OS for hacking but I feel like I'm pretty close.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to what to do next?  Is there a way to fix this problem?  </p>
