✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie so this is hcxtools — that's the page you're reading rn, filed under man(1) in section 1 of your manual, and it's genuinely iconic. it's a whole lil squad of wifi-packet-wrangling utilities. let's get into it 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. it's a small set of tools that convert packets from WiFi captures, and the whole point is to detect weak points within own WiFi networks by analyzing the hashes. that's it, that's the vibe. you run the tools on your own stuff, you find out where your network is being a little too trusting, you fix it. main character energy but for your router 🫶

🎀 TOOLS 🎀

the whole girl gang, one by one:

  • hcxpcapngtool — the converter girlie. tool to convert raw capture files to Hashcat and JtR readable formats. ✨
  • hcxhashtool — the bouncer. tool to filter hashes from HC22000 files based on user input.
  • hcxpmktool — the math girlie. tool to calculate and verify a PSK and/or a PMK. 🧮
  • hcxpottool — handles the pot. tool to to handle ASCII format and several UTF formats of hashcat's pot file.
  • hcxpsktool — the gossiper. tool to get weak PSK candidates from hash files or user input. 👀
  • hcxeiutool — the prep girlie. tool to prepare -E -I -U output of hcxpcapngtool for use by Hashcat + rule or JtR + rule.
  • hcxwltool — the mixer. tool to calculate candidates for Hashcat and JtR based on mixed wordlists. 🌈
  • hcxhash2cap — the glow-up artist. tool to convert hash files (PMKID&EAPOL, PMKID, EAPOL-hccapx, EAPOL-hccap, WPAPSK-john) to cap.
  • wlancap2wpasec — the uploader. tool to upload multiple (gzip compressed) pcapng, pcap and cap files to https://wpa-sec.stanev.org 🌐
  • whoismac — the detective. tool to show vendor information and/or download oui reference list. 🔍

💜 OPTIONS 💜

ngl this one's short and sweet: the help menu (-h and --help) of each tool will list all available options. so like, every single tool has its own lil menu, and -h or --help pulls it up. no cap. 💖

the extended universe, fr fr:

  • hcxdumptool — tool to run several tests to determine if ACCESS POINTs or CLIENTs are vulnerable
  • hcxnmealog — tool to handle NMEA 0183 sentences
