After searching here, google, and messing around on my own I guess im confused as to what you all may suggest I start on first. I have a machine setup to dual boot windows 7 pro and backbox along with metasploit installed.

I started out by trying to crack local SSIDs that are using wpa2/psk with aircrack-ng and was unsuccesssful....

Perhaps you all can offer a better ideas as to where I should start...or what to "do first" to ease into things.

If it helps im interested in cracking passwords (much like I was attempting to with the WPA/WPA2 PSK crack), also interested in capturing data that goes over networks, etc...nothing really in particular...but I feel like I need better guidance as far as where to start.


thanks in advance for your help
