Hi, This isn't really practical. With Rainbow crack you have to supply the hash of the password which is then looked up in the tables. You could only do something like this if you had the hashed PSK. From what I understand the PKS is never transmitted. So how are you going to get a hold of the hash? You could try to extrapolate it from a capture but it's only used for the initial authentication. Which in turn means you'd have to capture about 15,000 authentications. It would be easier to just crack the password on the AP or a client and read the PSK off of it.

Without studying the ins and outs, I think it should be possible to generate rainbowtables for WPA PSKs. Especially since on-the-fly cracking takes quite some time per crypt and most users use a alphanumeric characterset for the pass. It my assumption right? Anyone already working on this subject? Please let me know!
