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)

git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat-utils.git
cd hashcat-utils/src
make
./cap2hccapx.bin THEWIFITOCRACK.cap THEWIFITOCRACK.hccapx

Execute hashcat in WPA handshake mode

hashcat -m 2500 -w 3 THEWIFITOCRACK.hccapx A_WORDLIST.lst

Once finished, check if passwords found

hashcat -m 2500 THEWIFITOCRACK.hccapx --show
 
# if none found, the output is empty :(
