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

[oayz]

Sorry, can't stop complaining about this "list" feature. Why ESSID filter only works for "-o"? OK, it doesn't work for "info" why not even for JtR?!

total lines read..............: 76
valid hash lines..............: 76
PMKID hash lines..............: 30
EAPOL hash lines..............: 46
EAPOL written.................: 2
EAPOL written to john.........: 46

CMD line:

hcxhashtool.exe -i ssid_all.hc22000 -o ssid_new.hc22000 --john=ssid_new.john --essid-list=ssid_new.lst

List has only one ESSID. If I use the same ESSID in "----essid=" everything is as expected:

total lines read..............: 76
valid hash lines..............: 76
PMKID hash lines..............: 30
EAPOL hash lines..............: 46
filter by ESSID...............: takenoko
EAPOL written.................: 2
EAPOL written to john.........: 2

Am I missing intent of the filter? I didn't check the code but shouldn't filter remove ESSIDs from the input and then generate all required outputs?

BTW, it would be nice if filter could have inclusive and exclusive options (e.g. to keep or discard listed ESSIDs). Global, not per ESSID
