The failure to crack the handshake using the probable.txt wordlist suggests a few possibilities: If you encounter this, you need to use

Use Mask Attacks or Combination of Techniques

: Mask attacks (specifying character sets and lengths) can be effective. Also, combining your wordlist attack with rule-based mutations can expand the potential guesses. If you encounter this
