hashcat Forum

By the latest hashcat improvement hcxtools are able to control hashcats nonce-error-corrections (nonce-error-corrections on/off):
hcxdumptool -> hcxpcaptool -> hashcat

https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/commi...4fbefe08ff

Some tools doesn't check replaycount properly or set timestamps to zero. In that case you can override this automatic control by hashcats --nonce-error-corrections=x

Added full support (TZSP_ENCAP_IEEE_802_11) for TaZmen Sniffer Protocol (TZSP)

Hey ZerBea!

thank you so much for this great work - this is simply the most interesting project I witnessed.

One question regarding focussing on ssid/bssid. How to analyze specific stations? Is it possible to read only packets coming from this ssid/bssid with hcxdumptool. Or is there a way to use hcxpcaptool only extract/filter information associated with specfici ssid/bssid? I would like to use this in your described workflow for extracting probes, identity, etc.

Thank you so much !

Hi rk3y.
How to analyze specific stations?
That depends on the depth of you analysis. For a simple analysis run:
hcxdumptool -> hcxpcaptool -T trafficlist *.cap
Result is a list, containig simple network relationships (european date : timestamp : mac_sta : mac_ap : essid)
Then use simple bash commands to filter the requiered informations (cat, grep , tail, head, awk).
To do a deep analysis, use wireshark. Wireshark contains a filter for every task, so there is no need for me to implement this to hcxtools.
BTW:
wlandump-ng and wlancap2hcx are outdated. I will remove them soon, because the depend on libpcap. Using raw sockets makes us much more flexible.

hcxpcaptool: added detection of FILS authentication.

Retrieved identity is in identitylist.

hcxpcaptool: added detection of BROADCOM specific authentication.

BROADCOM adds a special vendor tag to the authentication sequence:
Tagged parameters (11 bytes)
Tag: Vendor Specific: Broadcom
Tag Number: Vendor Specific (221)
Tag length: 9
OUI: 00:10:18 (Broadcom)
Vendor Specific OUI Type: 2
Vendor Specific Data: 0202000c0000

From now on, hcxdumptool and hcxpcaptool are able to capture and detect this:
$ hcxpcaptool -V broadcomtag.pcap
start reading from broadcomtag.pcap
summary:
file name....................: broadcomtag.pcap
file type....................: pcap 2.4
network type.................: DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO (127)
endianess....................: little endian
read errors..................: flawless
packets inside...............: 2
skipped packets..............: 0
packets with FCS.............: 0
authentications (OPEN SYSTEM): 2
authentications (BROADCOM)...: 1

hcxpcaptool: added detection of SONOS and APPLE specific authentication.

SONOS adds a special vendor tag to the authentication sequence, too:
Tagged parameters (8 bytes)
Tag: Vendor Specific: Sonos, Inc.
   Tag Number: Vendor Specific (221)
   Tag length: 6
   OUI: 00:0e:58 (Sonos, Inc.)
   Vendor Specific OUI Type: 2
   Vendor Specific Data: 020101

APPLE adds a special vendor tag to the authentication sequence, too:
Tagged parameters (13 bytes)
   Tag: Vendor Specific: Apple, Inc.
   Tag Number: Vendor Specific (221)
   Tag length: 11
   OUI: 00:17:f2 (Apple, Inc.)
   Vendor Specific OUI Type: 10
   Vendor Specific Data: 0a00010400000000


From now on, hcxdumptool and hcxpcaptool are able to capture and detect this:
$ hcxpcaptool -V tags.pcap
start reading from tags.pcap
summary:                                        
file name....................: tags.pcap
file type....................: pcap 2.4

That are really nice fingerprints!

We have some bad issues in radioptap and/or wireshark.
read more about the issue here:
https://github.com/secdev/scapy/issues/1465

hcxpcaptool and hcxdumptool will ignore this issues.

Get example pcap from here:
https://github.com/secdev/scapy/files/20...t.pcap.txt
and rename to rt_ext.pcap (not neccessary for hcxpcaptool, but wireshark requiere this).

$ hcxpcaptool -V *.pcap
start reading from rt_ext.pcap
summary:
--------
file name....................: rt_ext.pcap
file type....................: pcap 2.4
network type.................: DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO (127)
endianess....................: little endian
read errors..................: flawless
packets inside...............: 10
skipped packets..............: 0
packets with FCS.............: 10
beacons (with ESSID inside)..: 9

and compare to wireshark output (Malformed Packet)!

BTW:
Normally hcxtools are not interested in evaluation of BEACON frames, but BEACON frames which contain an ESSID are counted by hcxpcaptool.
AUTHENTICATION, ASSOCIATIONREQUEST, ASSOCIATIONRESPONSE, REASSOCIATIONREQUEST, REASSOCIATIONRESPONSE frames contains more and important informations than stupid BEACON frames.
So do not use tools which remove (clean) this frames from your capfiles!
