✨ AIRDECAP-NG(1) ✨ General Commands Manual 🎀

Okay bestie, come sit down because we're about to talk about airdecap-ng, the manual name you'll see up top 💅. It's the tool that takes a WEP/WPA encrypted pcap file and turns it into an unencrypted one, as long as you have the right keys 🔑🦋

📜 NAME

airdecap-ng — decrypt a WEP/WPA encrypted pcap file 💖

🪄 SYNOPSIS

airdecap-ng [options] <pcap file>

💫 DESCRIPTION

Okay so airdecap-ng is literally the decrypting queen 👑. You feed it a WEP/WPA encrypted pcap file, and it gives you back an unencrypted one, but only if you bring the right WEP/WPA keys. No keys, no slay 💀

🎀 OPTIONS

  • -H, --help — Pulls up the help screen so you can see everything it can do 🌸
  • -l — Do not remove the 802.11 header. Keep it, bestie 🦋

  • -k <pmk> — WPA Pairwise Master Key, written in hex 🔐
  • -e <essid> — Target network SSID. If your SSID has special characters in it, the aircrack-ng FAQ has the full tea on how to handle spaces, double quotes, and single quotes: https://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=faq#how_to_use_spaces_double_quote_and_single_quote_etc_in_ap_names ✨
