An authorized capture of a municipal WPA2-PSK SSID includes complete 4-way handshakes from several staff laptops. For offline passphrase testing against that shared PSK, what is generally true?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One solid handshake is the ticket—shared PSK means the same secret sits behind each client's dance. You do not need a parade of cracked clients or a beacon-only shortcut. Extra handshakes are redundancy, not separate master passwords.
Full Explanation
On a WPA2-PSK BSS the same passphrase (and derived PMK for that SSID) underpins associations. A complete 4-way handshake from any authorized client usually supplies the material needed for offline dictionary testing of that shared secret. Assessors do not need every client cracked separately, cannot replace handshake material with beacons alone, and should not discard valid captures as mutually invalidating.
