β¨ WPACLEAN(1) β the girlies' guide to cleanin' up WPA captures β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to wpaclean π this is one of those lil General Commands Manual girlies and she is so useful, you have no idea. sit down, grab a strawberry π, let's get into it.
πΈ NAME πΈ
wpaclean β clean wpa capture files π
like. that's her whole job. she cleans. she's the tidy one in the group chat. no cap.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
wpaclean <out.cap> <in.cap> [in2.cap] [...]
so you give her a lil out.cap to write into, and then one or more input captures β <in.cap>, and if you're feeling extra, [in2.cap] [...] β and she does her thing. slay.
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so this is the part where I tell you what she actually does and it's literally iconic:
wpaclean cleans capture files to get only the 4-way handshake and a beacon. β¨
that's it. that's the whole vibe. you feed her a big messy capture file (or, like, several of them), and she strips out all the noise so all you're left with is the handshake and a beacon. main character energy honestly. the way she just... filters. obsessed. π«Ά
