hcxtools - solution for capturing wlan traffic and conversion to hashcat formats

[ZerBea]

If you take a look at this photo:
https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/wi...g-system-1
You'll see a "push button" and a LED.

Both are used to control the RPI.
The push button is used to safely shut the RPI down.
The LED is used to indicate the status.
LED flashing every 5 seconds: everything's fine
LED permanent on: no signal received - perhaps no traffic on the channel or driver broken
LED flashing twice every 5 seconds: RPI is under control of hcxpioff

circuit diagram is here:

--enable_status is explained in --help
--enable_status=<digit>            : enable status messages
                                    bitmask:
                                     1: EAPOL
                                     2: PROBEREQUEST/PROBERESPONSE
                                     4: AUTHENTICATON
                                     8: ASSOCIATION
                                    16: BEACON

We use a bitmask to select the options.

For example:
--enable_status=1 : show only EAPOL info
--enable_status=2 : show only PROBEREQUEST/PROBERESPONSE

to get both messages you must add the values:
--enable_status=3 : show EAPOL info and PROBEREQUEST/PROBERESPONSE info

That's the "secret" of the --enable_status switch. In other words we can use many options running a single switch.
