Randy B:

I captured successfully the 4 way handshake with aircrack-ng:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12590297/handshake.cap (4MB)

According to many pages, it is said that the only way of finding a WPA key is trying a wordlist with the handshake. Therefore I 
decided for JTR, which generates this list "Live" for me.
Now you speak about reducing my search set. - How can I reduce my process further, under the assumption of not knowing more than of 
16 digits?
You wrote about hash implementations and character frequency analysis. - But how can this be done with the handshake capture file?
