Is it possible to use a bitcoin miner to brute force something like wpa/wpa2?

Answer 1

No.
If we are talking about a hardware ASIC miner, then its task is very stupid, click SHA2 (SHA2 ()) and compare the result with some target. Satisfies - we send to the output, no - we twist the counter and hash further.
If we are talking about a software miner, then it is easier to write a brute-forcer from scratch than to remake the source code of a miner that is not intended for this.

Answer 2

you need details :)
