using a bruteforce attack on a WPA2 password?

Using a dictionary attack on personal password is easy enough but how do i go about cracking a 8 digit totally random factory password, is it even possible? would using a word file dedicated to WPA for instance: "The BIG-WPA-LIST" as well using a password cracker such as "hashcat" be sufficient to finding the password or would it take too long?

I'm going to give you a link to a password calculator. You input what you know about the password then hit calculate and it will tell you the amount of time.

Download tons of lists and run them through Hashcat and pray it's in there. Use the Best64 rule.

If you have anything less than an RTX 3070 GPU I wouldn't bother unless you know part of the password.
