Kismet is more for network sniffing, not cracking.

I'm pretty sure it's AirSnort.

I have a vague recollection that PsPasswd is related to Windows password cracking, so it probably isn't the answer here.

I practiced a similar question before, and I think Cain was more focused on password recovery, not specifically for wireless encryption.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Kismet is more about network sniffing rather than cracking keys.

I think I remember studying about AirSnort in relation to cracking WEP keys, so that might be the right answer.
