To fix the issue, you must understand what your tool is doing during the cracking phase.

This message is the cybersecurity equivalent of a "check engine" light. It is telling you that the attack failed, but it isn't telling you why you failed—or if you are even attacking the right target.

This generates 8-character passwords starting with the word "password" and ending in a symbol.
Despite the wordlist’s comprehensiveness, both tools returned the same result: Despite the wordlist’s comprehensiveness
If airodump-ng captured multiple handshakes in one file, they may interfere. Use wpaclean with the -p parameter and manually select the correct handshake, or re-capture a fresh handshake.
The following command appends a four-digit year (e.g., 2024) to every word in your list:
