 ==== Client set-up ====
-This system needs raw power to be able to crack fast. RAM is not that much important. It needs to be able to reach the server.

 ===== Tips =====
-  * In an untrusted network, use a SSH tunnel or any other protocol allowing authentication and eavesdropping.
+  * In an untrusted network, use a SSH tunnel or any other protocol allowing authentication and prevents eavesdropping.
   * If the capture file contains multiple handshakes, the best one will be selected. However, manual selection is strongly recommended in that case. Check out our [[wpa_capture|WPA Capture analysis]] tutorial. Make sure to include at least one beacon in the capture file. If the network is hidden, an association frame is required too.
