What you are proposing is absolutely illegal.  If you were to attempt such an activity, it would be best to have a written contract from your "friend" stating that he sanctions this _penetration test_. 

Even so, the only possibility is if;

1) there is a PSK in use

2) you managed to capture a full handshake during a legitimate client association

3) they've used a *very weak* passphrase

4) you have *monsterous* computing power to brute force the PSK.

... a properly secured WPA network (even with a PSK of sufficient entropy) is NOT FEASABLE to compromise.

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.

No one within this community will be able to address the question on how to do this or if it is feasible. I would take this question to the Aircrack website for their input.

We would be more than happy to answer anything with the operation and setup of the device though.

Thanks
