Display system cracking speed:

pyrit benchmark

List available cores:

pyrit list_cores

Set [e]SSID:

pyrit -e "{{ESSID}}" create_essid

[r]ead and analyze a specific packet capture file:

pyrit -r {{path/to/file.cap|path/to/file.pcap}} analyze

Read and [i]mport passwords to the current database:

pyrit -i {{path/to/file}} {{import_unique_passwords|unique_passwords|import_passwords}}

Exp[o]rt passwords from database to a specific file:
