-The ''-c'' argument is the MAC address of the client machine on the network you are deauthenticating. It is not the MAC address of your attack machine.
+Option -a is the MAC address of the access point and ''-c'' the client machine on the network you are deauthenticating.
   * Remember: to get a client MAC address, you run airodump-ng and specify the network in order to see all the clients. The clients show up in the second (lower) block of information, under STATION:

+  * ''aircrack-ng'' will unpack the handshake and extract the useful information
+  * The MIC (Message Integrity Code) from the handshake is used by the access point to verify whether a password is correct or not.
+  * It will take each word in the wordlist, combine it with the information in the handshake, and generate a MIC.
+  * It will compare that MIC with the MIC in the handshake. If they match, your word is the password.
+  * TAKE-AWAY: Success depends on your word list.
+  * This will take a lot of time. If you have a GPU, it can be used to speed up the comparison process.
