✨ WPACLEAN(1) β€” the girlies' guide to cleanin' up WPA captures ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to wpaclean πŸ’– this is one of those lil General Commands Manual girlies and she is so useful, you have no idea. sit down, grab a strawberry πŸ“, let's get into it.


🌸 NAME 🌸

wpaclean β€” clean wpa capture files πŸ’…

like. that's her whole job. she cleans. she's the tidy one in the group chat. no cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

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.


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

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. ✨

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. 🫢
