💖 HCXPIOF(1) — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found hcxpiof, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. this is the manual page for a tool that captures packets from wlan devices, and we're gonna go through it together, top to bottom, no skipping. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

hcxpiof — a tool to capture packets from wlan devices. that's the whole job description, and she's iconic for it. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hcxpiof [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole incantation. give her some options and she goes. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she actually do? hcxpiof is a tool to capture wpa handshake from Wi-Fi networks and then run several tests to figure out whether Wi-Fi access points or clients are vulnerable to brute-force attacks. 🫶

like, she's out here doing the wifi forensics AND the vulnerability check. main character energy fr fr. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per flag, no cap, all of them present and accounted for:

  • -h — show this help. the short version, for when you just need a lil peek. 👀
  • -v — show version. tells you which flavor of hcxpiof you're running. ⭐
  • --gpio_button=<digit> — Raspberry Pi GPIO pin number of button, and the valid range is 2...27. default = GPIO not in use. so if you don't set it, no button, no problem. 💜
  • --gpio_statusled=<digit> — Raspberry Pi GPIO number of status LED, range 2...27. default = GPIO not in use. she'll stay unlit unless you tell her otherwise. 🎀
  • --tot=<digit> — enable the timeout timer, measured in minutes (minimum = 2 minutes). once tot is reached, hcxpioff will terminate. so yeah, she has a bedtime. 😴
  • --reboot — once hcxpioff terminated, reboot the system. default behavior is to power off the system instead, so this flag is you saying "actually, restart her." 🔁
  • --help — show this help. the long-form twin of -h, same energy. 💖
  • --version — show version. the long-form twin of -v. ✨
🌈 psst, bestie — run gpio readall to print a table of all accessible pins and their numbers (wiringPi, BCM_GPIO and physical pin numbers). it's giving "cheat sheet" and it's genuinely useful when you're picking a <digit> for the button or the status LED. iykyk. 🧚
