aircrack-ng fed with crunch taking ages

I’m trying aircrack-ng attack like below:

crunch 1 2 -f /usr/local/Cellar/crunch/3.6/share/charset.lst mixalpha-numeric|aircrack-ng -b 90:F6:52:80:B9:E2 -w - ~/DumpLog*
⋮
Crunch will now generate the following number of lines: 221918520426688
⋮

and it can’t finish. I see that it should go through Petabytes in relatively small amount of time (here’s example of 10 letter pwd cracked in 30mins: Cracking WPA key with crunch | aircrack)

I’ve tried simply

crunch 1 2 -f /usr/local/Cellar/crunch/3.6/share/charset.lst mixalpha-numeric|aircrack-ng -b 90:F6:52:80:B9:E2 -w - ~/DumpLog*
Crunch will now generate the following amount of data: 11656 bytes
0 MB
0 GB
0 TB
0 PB
Crunch will now generate the following number of lines: 3906

Passphrase not in dictionary 

and it’s taking ~30seconds (for only 4k combinations!)

  • What am I doing wrong? Is there better/faster method (than crunch) to
    generate all possible permutations?
  • Is there anything wrong with the capture files I have:

.

ls -l ~/DumpLog*

  • could the fact I’m on Mac OS X have to do anything with it?
