I will pipe in once again...
This Cisco article below has a part one with it as well (they are
actually hosted at InformIT.com). I wrote these up because there was
little out that really explained step by step how WPA cracking works.
Joshua Wright wrote the program I reference in this article (cowpatty).

Just another two cents...

Hi Jeroen,
Both STA and AP use nonces to defeat a replay or precalc attack.

Key generation is significantly more complicated in WPA than in WEP.
Here's a brief bit about what's relevant to cracking WPA:

And I hate to post a microsoft link, but this explains WPA key
generation and mangement very clearly:

Subject: Rainbowtables for WPA PSK?
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!
Gz,
Jeroen
