'''Network encryption cracking''' is the breaching of network encryptions (e.g., WEP, WPA, ...), usually through the use of a special [[Wireless security|encryption cracking software]]. It may be done through a range of attacks (active and passive) including injecting traffic, decrypting traffic, and [[Dictionary attack|dictionary-based attacks]].

Line 9 ⟶ 11:

* Injecting traffic based on known plaintext (active attack)

* Gathering traffic and performing brute force/dictionary based attacks

* Decrypting traffic using statistical analysis (passive attack)
