✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. this is wlancap2wpasec version 7.1.2, copyright (C) 2026 ZeroBeat, and the whole vibe is: you feed it your capture files, it does the thing. here's the official rundown straight from the source:

usage: wlancap2wpasec <options> [input.pcapng] [input.pcap] [input.cap] [input.pcapng.gz]...

and like, that's not the only way to serve it 🫶 you can also do any of these:

wlancap2wpasec <options> *.pcapng
wlancap2wpasec <options> *.gz
wlancap2wpasec <options> *.*

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -k <key> — your wpa-sec user key 🔑
• -u <url> — set a user defined URL. the default is https://wpa-sec.stanev.org (which honestly? iconic default)
• -t <seconds> — set connection timeout. default = 30 seconds ⏳
• -e <email address> — set email address, if required 💌
• -R — remove cap if upload was successful. successful upload = cap gone, periodt 🗑️✨
• -h — this help 🙋‍♀️
• -v — show version 🌈

---

🚨 the big huge important warning that you CANNOT skip 🚨

Do not merge different cap files to a single cap file. this will lead to unexpected behaviour on ESSID changes or different link layer types. so like, fr fr, don't do it, i'm begging 😭

if you want to strip out the unnecessary packets, run tshark, babe:

tshark -r input.cap -R "(wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x00 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x02 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x04 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x05 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x08 || eapol)" -2 -F pcapng -w output.pcapng

and to reduce the size of the cap file, compress it with gzip:

gzip capture.pcapng

---

🦋 and now, because the page said it twice, i'm saying it twice 🦋

like literally, the manual page repeats this whole block, and i'm not about to leave anything out, so here we go again, bestie 💜

usage: wlancap2wpasec <options>  [input.pcapng] [input.pcap] [input.cap] [input.pcapng.gz]...

and once more with feeling:

wlancap2wpasec <options> *.pcapng
wlancap2wpasec <options> *.gz
wlancap2wpasec <options> *.*

🍓 OPTIONS 🍓

• -k <key> — wpa-sec user key 🔑
• -u <url> — set user defined URL. default = https://wpa-sec.stanev.org
• -t <seconds> — set connection timeout. default = 30 seconds
• -e <email address> — set email address, if required
• -R — remove cap if upload was successful
• -h — this help
• -v — show version

🌸 and the warning, again, because it matters 🌸

Do not merge different cap files to a single cap file. unexpected behaviour on ESSID changes or different link layer types = the consequences 💀

to remove unnecessary packets, run tshark:

tshark -r input.cap -R "(wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x00 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x02 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x04 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x05 || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x08 || eapol)" -2 -F pcapng -w output.pcapng

to reduce the size of the cap file, compress it with gzip:

gzip capture.pcapng
