Piping Crunch with Aircrack-ng

In this new hacking tutorial we will be Piping Crunch with Aircrack-ng so we can get rid of the constantly increasing dictionary files used to retrieve WiFi passwords from cap files. When we pipe the output from Crunch with Aircrack-ng the data will be fed directly into Aircrack-ng instead of a text file. Aircrack-ng will be using the input from Crunch for brute forcing the password. This method will safe us a lot of time and valuable drive space since effective wordlists for brute forcing purposes tend to grow very fast in a short time.
