Handshake converter

Upload and extract a WPA / WPA2 handshake from a pcap capture file to a modern hashcat compatible hash file.

Convert a capture

Please read this forum post for a short hashcat + WPA1/2 tutorial.

About this service

This site is using state of the art handshake extraction tool hcxpcapngtool from hcxtools for converting. It is intended for users who dont want to struggle with compiling from sources.

Maximum size for upload is 192MB. A capture larger than that is better converted on your own machine, with the same tool.

ATTENTION! You need hashcat v6.0.0 or higher in order to work with hash-mode 22000.

Capture files

For best results, avoid tools that strip or modify capture files, such as:

  • airodump-ng (with filter options)
  • besside-ng
  • wpaclean
  • old bettercap versions
  • old pwnagotchi versions
  • tshark (with filter options)
  • wireshark (with filter options)

The online converter works exclusively with default settings. Any additional in-depth tuning exceeds the scope of this online service.
