hcxlabtool

A tool to test updates on hcxdumptool.

Expect compiler warnings and ERRORs.

Expect missing or incomplete functions.

Do not report issues or feature requests.

Rules

Form always follows function.

Everything that can be done off line should be done off line.

I have a clear (non-negotiable) priority when testing/adding new features:

1. performance (time response behavior when acting with targets and less destructive attack vector) 
2. computing time (less CPU cycles)
3. power consumption of the entire system
...
10. other features like GPS
...
9999. real time display

What Doesn't hcxlabtool Do?

• It does not crack WPA PSK related hashes. (Use Hashcat or JtR to recover the PSK.)

• It does not crack WEP. (Use the aircrack-ng suite instead.)

• It does not crack WPS. (Use Reaver or Bully instead.)

• It does not decrypt encrypted traffic. (Use tshark or Wireshark in parallel.)

• It does not record all traffic captured on the WLAN device. (Use tshark or Wireshark in parallel.)

• It does not perform Evil Twin attacks.

• It is not a honey pot.

Unsupported: Windows OS, macOS, Android, emulators or wrappers!

Work Flow

hcxlabtool -> hcxpcapngtool -> hcxhashtool (additional hcxpsktool/hcxeiutool) -> Hashcat or JtR

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.
• Detailed knowledge of filter procedures. (Berkeley Packet Filter, capture filter, display filter, etc.)
• Operating system: Linux (recommended: kernel >= 6.4, mandatory: kernel >= 5.10)
• Recommended: Arch Linux on notebooks and desktop systems, Arch Linux Arm on Raspberry Pi >= ARMv7 systems, Raspbian OS Lite or Debian on Raspberry Pi ARMv6 systems .
• WLAN device chipset must be able to run in monitor mode. MediaTek chipsets are preferred due to active monitor mode capabilities.
• WLAN device driver must support monitor and full frame injection mode.
• gcc >= 13 recommended (deprecated versions are not supported: https://gcc.gnu.org/)
• make
• libpcap and libpcap-dev (If internal BPF compiler has been enabled.)
• Raspberry Pi A, B, A+, B+, Zero (WH). (Recommended: Zero (WH) or A+, because of a very low power consumption), but notebooks and desktops will work as well.
• GPIO hardware mod recommended (push button and LED) on Raspberry Pi
• To allow 5/6/7GHz packet injection, it is mandatory to uncomment a regulatory domain that support this: /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom

If you decide to compile latest git head, make sure that your distribution is updated to it's latest version!

Important Notice: If you are running Debian on ARM, it is mandatory to add "iomem=relaxed" to cmdline.txt to allow IO memory mapping.
