Small set of tools convert packets from captures (h = hash, c = capture, convert and calculate candidates, x = different hashtypes) for the use with latest hashcat or John the Ripper. The tools are 100% compatible to hashcat and John the Ripper and recommended by hashcat. This branch is pretty closely synced to hashcat git branch (that means: latest hcxtools matching on latest hashcat beta) and John the Ripper git branch ("bleeding-jumbo").
Support for hashcat hash-modes: 2500, 2501, 4800, 5500, 12000, 16100, 16800, 16801, 22000, 22001
Support for John the Ripper hash-modes: WPAPSK-PMK, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1, chap, netntlm, tacacs-plus
After capturing, upload the "uncleaned" cap here (https://wpa-sec.stanev.org/?submit) to see if your ap or the client is vulnerable by using common wordlists. Convert the cap to hccapx and/or to WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2 hashline (16800) and check if wlan-key or plainmasterkey was transmitted unencrypted.
Multiple stand-alone binaries - designed to run on Arch Linux.
All of these utils are designed to execute only one specific function.

-
libopenssl and openssl-dev installed
-
librt and librt-dev installed (should be installed by default)
-
zlib and zlib-dev installed (for gzip compressed cap/pcap/pcapng files)

| Script | Description |
|---|---|
| piwritecard | Example script to restore SD-Card |
| piwreadcard | Example script to backup SD-Card |
| hcxgrep.py | Extract records from hccapx/pmkid file based on regexp |
