hcxtools - solution for capturing wlan traffic and conversion to hashcat formats
[quote="ZerBea" pid='39238' dateline='1518306361']
Hi hulley.
The main difference between wlandump-ng an hcxdumptool is libpcap.
wlandump-ng use libpcap and hcxdumptool use raw sockets. Using raw sockets is extreme hardware near.
We open three raw sockets: one for read, one for write and one for control (channel switch) and receive a filedescriptor for each socket. Now we can use a simple
write(fd_out, packet, packetsize) to send a packet,
read(fd_out, packet, packetsize) to receive a packet and
ioctl(fd_main, SIOCSIWFREQ, &pwrq) to control (in this case switch channel)..........

Hi ZerBea.

I was testing an internal wifi device: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 174f:1107 Syntek, driver:b43, os/kernel:4.14.0-kali3-686-pae. Everything work fine with wlandump-ng, but not hcxdumptool. Thanks for the info! It's too bad about the 'RTL88xxAU based device' I was about to buy one, just because the RTL88xxAU-chips have everything wifi. I guess I'll just have to get a RT3070 Device instead!
