hcxtools
==============
Small set of tools convert packets from captures (h = hash, c = capture, convert and
calculate candidates, x = different hashtypes) for the use with latest hashcat
or John the Ripper.
The tools are 100% compatible to hashcat and John the Ripper and recommended by hashcat.
This branch is pretty closely synced to hashcat git and John the Ripper git.
Support of hashcat hash-modes: 4800, 5500, 2200x, 16100, 250x (deprecated), 1680x (deprecated)
Support of John the Ripper hash-modes: WPAPSK-PMK, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1, chap, netntlm, tacacs-plus
Support of gzip (.gz) single file compression.
Main purpose is to detect weak points within own WiFi networks by analyzing the hashes.
Therefore convert the dump file to WPA-PBKDF2-PMKID+EAPOL hash file and check if wlan-key or plainmasterkey was transmitted unencrypted.
Or upload the "uncleaned" dump file (pcapng, pcap, cap) here https://wpa-sec.stanev.org/?submit
to find out if your ap or the client is vulnerable by using common wordlists or a weak password generation algorithm.
Brief description
--------------
Multiple stand-alone binaries - designed to run on Arch Linux, but other Linux distributions should work, too.
All of these utilities are designed to execute only one specific function.

| hcxwltool | Calculates candidates for hashcat and john based on mixed wordlists |
| hcxhash2cap | Converts hash file (PMKID&EAPOL, PMKID, EAPOL-hccapx, EAPOL-hccap, WPAPSK-john) to cap |
| wlancap2wpasec | Upload multiple (gzip compressed) pcapng, pcap and cap files to https://wpa-sec.stanev.org |
| whoismac | Show vendor information and/or download oui reference list |
| deprecated | obsolete and - no longer under maintenance - will be removed, when OpenSSL switching to version 3.0.0 |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| hcxmactool | Various MAC based filter operations on HCCAPX and PMKID files - convert hccapx and/or PMKID to new hashline format |
| hcxpmkidtool | CPU based tools to verify a PMKID |
| hcxessidtool | Various ESSID based filter operations on HCCAPX and PMKID files |

Workflow
--------------
hcxdumptool -> hcxpcapngtool -> hcxhashtool (additional hcxpsktool/hcxeiutool) -> hashcat or JtR
hcxdumptool: attack and capture everything (depending on options)
hcxpcapngtool: convert everything
hcxhashtool: filter hashes
hcxpsktool: get weak PSK candidates
hcxeiutool: calculate wordlists from ESSID
hashcat or JtR: get PSK from hash
Get source
--------------

Requirements
--------------
* knowledge of radio technology
* knowledge of electromagnetic-wave engineering
* detailed knowledge of 802.11 protocol
* detailed knowledge of key derivation functions
* detailed knowledge of Linux
* Linux (recommended Arch Linux, but other distros should work, too (no support for other distributions).
* gcc >= 11 recommended (deprecated versions are not supported: https://gcc.gnu.org/)
* libopenssl and openssl-dev installed
* librt and librt-dev installed (should be installed by default)
* zlib and zlib-dev installed (for gzip compressed cap/pcap/pcapng files)
* libcurl and curl-dev installed (used by whoismac and wlancap2wpasec)
* libpthread and pthread-dev installed (used by hcxhashcattool)
* pkg-config installed
To install requirements on Kali use the following 'apt-get install pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev'
If you decide to compile latest git head, make sure that your distribution is updated on latest version.
Useful scripts
--------------
| Script | Description |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| piwritecard | Example script to restore SD-Card |
| piwreadcard | Example script to backup SD-Card |
| hcxgrep.py | Extract records from m22000 hashline/hccapx/pmkid file based on regexp |
Notice
--------------
Most output files will be appended to existing files (with the exception of pcapng, pcap, cap files).
It is recommended to use hash mode 22000 (22001) instead of deprecated hash modes 2500 (2501) and 16800 (16801)
hcxtools are designed to be analysis tools. This means that everything is converted by default and unwanted information must be filtered out!
Bitmask message pair field (hcxpcapngtool)
--------------
bit 0-2
000 = M1+M2, EAPOL from M2 (challenge)
001 = M1+M4, EAPOL from M4 if not zeroed (authorized)
010 = M2+M3, EAPOL from M2 (authorized)
011 = M2+M3, EAPOL from M3 (authorized) - unused
100 = M3+M4, EAPOL from M3 (authorized) - unused
101 = M3+M4, EAPOL from M4 if not zeroed (authorized)
3: reserved
4: ap-less attack (set to 1) - no nonce-error-corrections necessary
5: LE router detected (set to 1) - nonce-error-corrections only for LE necessary
6: BE router detected (set to 1) - nonce-error-corrections only for BE necessary
7: not replaycount checked (set to 1) - replaycount not checked, nonce-error-corrections definitely necessary
