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 branch (that means: latest hcxtools matching on latest hashcat beta) and John the Ripper git branch ("bleeding-jumbo").
Support for hashcat hash-modes: 4800, 5500, 2200x, 16100, 250x (deprecated), 1680x (deprecated)
Support for John the Ripper hash-modes: WPAPSK-PMK, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1, chap, netntlm, tacacs-plus
After capturing, upload the "uncleaned" cap here (https://wpa-sec.stanev.org/?submit) to see if your ap or the client is vulnerable by using common wordlists. Convert the dump file to WPA-PBKDF2-PMKID+EAPOL hash file and check if wlan-key or plainmasterkey was transmitted unencrypted.
Multiple stand-alone binaries - designed to run on Arch Linux.
All of these utils are designed to execute only one specific function.

| piwreadcard | Example script to backup SD-Card |
| hcxgrep.py | Extract records from hccapx/pmkid file based on regexp |

It is recommended to use hash mode 22000 (22001) instead of deprecated hash modes 2500 (2501) and 16800 (16801)

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
