Description: Welcome to Part 7 of the series! In this video, I discuss the great tool, airolib-ng, which is great for speeding up the WPA/WPA2 cracking process.

In the video he says that using airolib-ng will save you time but then he fails to really elaborate and explain how so... I stopped watching after this lack of explanation because from what I can tell he is talking about creating rainbow tables which are pretty useless I think for WPA; unless you are attempting to crack multiple networks that just so luckily all share the exact same SSID!
Telling people that rainbow tables will save time when it comes to salted PW's is pretty much a lie unless you explain situations when it would be. In most cases it really is not saving time but just focusing on one task first to quicken up the cracking process later on but in total time is not actually saving any time.
It has nothing to do with creating rainbow tables but with creating a database containing either one SSID or MULTIPLE SSIDs in addition to a password list(s) used in conjunction to pre-calculate PTKs. Pre-calculation of the PTKs in turn speeds up WPA cracking.
Sorry, I may have this confused... When you say "Pre-calculation of the PTKs in turn speeds up WPA cracking.", what type of time-savings are you talking about? The total time of the entire process to save time???
To give an analogy of what I am assuming you mean; is say 10 pales of water buckets are brought from a river to be dumped into a well but not dumped into the well, rather just placed next to the well. The total time to get the water into the well has not actually changed, but instead, the time to add the water when wanted to be added into the well can then be done much faster since the work to carry the buckets to the well was already done at an earlier time.
