The upstream description frames it as an analysis toolkit for finding weak points in one's own wireless networks rather than as a password-cracking engine. ### プロジェクトの歴史 The GitHub repository was created in April 2017. Its scope settled around the conversion and post-processing side of WPA/WPA2 auditing: hcxpcapngtool converts capture files, hcxhashtool filters hash files, hcxpmktool verifies PSKs or PMKs, hcxpottool handles pot files, and related tools handle wordlist candidates, vendor lookup, and upload workflows. The toolkit is closely paired with ZerBea's hcxdumptool, which performs packet capture and layer-2 WPA protocol tests. The documented workflow is hcxdumptool to hcxpcapngtool to hcxhashtool, optionally to hcxpsktool or hcxeiutool, and then to Hashcat or John the Ripper. hcxtools evolved with Hashcat's WPA formats. The README emphasizes Hashcat mode 22000/22001 over older 2500/2501 and 16800/16801 formats, while the changelog records later work on FT-PSK PMKID and EAPOL conversion for mode 37100 and ongoing handling of EAPOL length limits. ### 採用の歴史 The package spread through security-oriented Linux distributions and general package managers because it solves a specific interoperability problem: turning packet captures into forms that established cracking and auditing tools can read. The batch input records Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, Nix, Arch, and Ubuntu packaging, but upstream itself warns that operating systems outside its Linux target are unsupported. Its audience is narrower than a general network utility. Upstream expects knowledge of radio technology, 802.11 protocol behavior, key derivation, Linux drivers, capture filters, and related tooling. That technical bar shaped adoption among wireless-security practitioners and package users who already know the Hashcat/JtR workflow. ### 使われ方 hcxtools does not capture traffic, crack hashes, attack WEP or WPS, or decrypt encrypted traffic. Instead, it converts, filters, verifies, and prepares artifacts: pcapng/pcap/cap input, PMKID and EAPOL hash lines, pot files, ESSID-derived candidate lists, vendor OUI lookups, and wpa-sec upload workflows. The upstream README is explicit that output files may be appended to, that dump files should not be merged in ways that destroy custom block hash assignments, and that nonce-error correction is not performed by the tools. These details are why package users often care about exact upstream versions matching hcxdumptool and Hashcat behavior. ### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性 hcxtools is package-nerd significant because it sits at a brittle boundary between kernel Wi-Fi capture behavior, pcapng file semantics, WPA handshake interpretation, and Hashcat/JtR hash formats. Small changes in any layer can make a packaged version too old for a user's capture workflow. The suite is also notable as a source-built C toolkit with many small executables rather than one command. Packaging therefore exposes a toolbox: hcxpcapngtool for conversion, hcxhashtool for filtering, hcxhash2cap for reverse conversion, hcxpottool for pot files, whoismac for OUI data, and more. ### タイムライン - 2017: hcxtools repository created. - 2019: 5.x releases published through GitHub releases. - 2020: 6.0.0 and 6.1.x releases published. - 2021: 6.2.x releases published. - 2024: README simplified distribution-specific compile instructions and pointed users back to their distribution dependency names. - 2025: 7.0.0 added support for relayed EAPOL messages. - 2026: changelog recorded FT-PSK PMKID and EAPOL conversion work for Hashcat mode 37100. ### Related projects - hcxdumptool captures the wireless packets that hcxtools converts and filters. - Hashcat consumes the WPA/WPA2 hash formats that hcxtools prepares. - John the Ripper is the other major password-auditing tool named in the README. - wpa-sec is an upload target documented by the toolkit for testing captured material against common weak-key data. ### ソース -
