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

[ZerBea]

Currently 2 hash formats (01 = PMKID, 02 = EAPOL) are accepted by hashcat running hash mode 22000/22001:

Code:

WPA*01*PMKID*...
WPA*02*MIC*...

They are explained here:
https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/1816

You can use bash tools to get the same result
for PMKID:

Code:

$ cat hash.hc22000 | grep "WPA\*01"

for EAPOL:

Code:

$ cat hash.hc22000 | grep "WPA\*02"

The purpose of --type option is to filter output by that 2 types

Code:

--type=<digit>               : filter by hash type
                               bitmask:
                                1 = PMKID
                                2 = EAPOL
                               default PMKID and EAPOL (1+2=3)

To filter by a bit/byte of a PMKID or a PMKID itself doesn't make sense, because a PMKID is the result of a hash calculation:
