WPA/WPA2: How the hash is generated

You shouldn't really need to know the algorithm for the checksum just to find out which networks were cracked, instead the remaining data is more important for the user.

Anyway the output format is:
checksum:mac_ap:mac_sta:essid:pass

and the (current) algo to generate the checksum is:
https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/blob/...2835-L2884

So it basically just uses the most important bytes from the hccapx file to distinguish different hccapx-items (nothing fancy and actually nothing one need to bother with).

Hi
thanks for your reply, the algo in github is a bit not clear
can you explain it?
does it take the 393 bytes as binary then convert to hex, after that checksum ?

maybe that would be easier and better?
