changelog

05.11.2025
==========
hcxdumptool: added waterfall status display mode (rds=4)
Warning: Expect massive packet drops especially when running the real time display on slow CPUs


09.09.2025
==========
release v7.0.1
hcxdumptool: fixed proberesponsetx error

08.09.2025
==========
hcxdumptool: modified option proberesponsetx:
--proberesponsetx=<digit> : transmit n PROBERESPONSEs from the ESSID ring buffer
                             default: 1023
                             to disable transmitting of PROBERESPONSE frames set 0

Important notice:
This does not disable to retrieve an M2 of a CLIENT that is connected to an AP.
To disable this too set m2max to 0.

02.08.2025
==========
release v7.0.0 (according to hashcat v7.0.0)
workaround on OpenWRT Linux Kernel bug: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/19405

12.07.2025
==========
added an information to --help that there is another help menu (-h)

$ hcxdumptool --help
hcxdumptool 6.3.5-148-gdabec8a  (C) 2025 ZeroBeat
Additional information (for commonly used options use -h):
----------------------------------------------------------
press GPIO button to terminate
 hardware modification is necessary, read more:
 https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/tree/master/docs
to store entire traffic, run tshark in parallel on the same interface:
 $ tshark -i <interface> -w allframes.pcapng

Berkeley Packet Filter:
-----------------------
  see man bpfc

Important recommendation:
-------------------------
Do not set monitor mode by third party tools or third party scripts!
Do not use virtual interfaces (monx, wlanxmon, prismx, ...)!
Do not use virtual machines or emulators!
Do not run other tools that take access to the interface in parallel (except: tshark, wireshark, tcpdump)!
Do not use tools to change the virtual MAC (like macchanger)!
Do not merge (pcapng) dump files, because this destroys assigned hash values!


15.03.2025
==========
hcxdumptool: added new option --rdt to disable TIOCGWINSZ
--rdt            : disable TIOCGWINSZ for real time displays


03.03.2025
==========
hcxnmealog: removed WPS information - all tested APs use WPS 2.0!

03.03.2025
==========
hcxnmealog: changed option -c to -t because output is tabulator separated an not comma separated

02.03.2025
==========
replaced hcxdumptool by hcxlabtool
major changes:
removed split screen ACCESS POINT <-> CLIENT
improved attack modes
added RSSI to rcascan
moved entire GPS handling from hcxdumptool to new hcxnmealog (still work on progress)

hcxdumptool: added new option to EXIT on EAPOL
--exitoneapol=<type>           : exit on first EAPOL occurrence:
                                  bitmask:
                                   1 = PMKID
                                   2 = EAPOL M2
                                   4 = EAPOL M3
                                  target BPF filter is recommended

03.07.2023
==========
added -Wpedantic to compiler flags and fixed all warnings


30.06.2023
==========
release v6.3.1


09.05.2023
==========
hcxdumptool: added option to remove active monitor flag
-p             : do not set monitor mode: active (do not ACK incoming frames addressed to the device MAC
                 default monitor mode: active (ACK all incoming frames addressed to the device MAC)

This is a workaround on mt7601u devices/drivers.
Running active monitor mode, only frames addressed to the MAC of the device
or addressed to BROADCAST MAC are received. This is a driver/firmware problem!
To verify if you are affected:
run hcxdumptool
run Wireshark in parallel and set filter option to "eapol"
if Wireshark only show EAPOL M1 frames it is mandatory to disable active monitor mode
by option "-p"

Problem is reported here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217465


06.05.2023
==========
hcxdumptool: added option to save GPS information to pcapng dumpfile
--nmea_pcapng                  : write GPS information to pcapng dump file


05.05.2023
==========
release v6.3.0

Since kernel 6.3 Kernel developer decided to print a dmesg warning if tools are detected that use deprecated WEXT:
[ 2770.939021] warning: `hcxdumptool' uses wireless extensions which will stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware; use nl80211
hcxdumptool used ioctl(SIOCGIWNAME) to detect presence of WEXT. That was the last remnant of WEXT code.
To get rid of this dmesg warning, this detection has been removed by latest commit.

hcxdumptool: changed/added several options:
$ hcxdumptool --help
hcxdumptool 6.2.9-161-gf581815  (C) 2023 ZeroBeat
usage: hcxdumptool <options>
        first stop all services that take access to the interface, e.g.:
        $ sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
        $ sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service
        then run hcxdumptool
        press ctrl+c to terminate
        press GPIO button to terminate
        hardware modification is necessary, read more:
        https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/tree/master/docs
        stop all services (e.g.: wpa_supplicant.service, NetworkManager.service) that take access to the interface
        do not set monitor mode by third party tools (iwconfig, iw, airmon-ng)
        do not use logical (NETLINK) interfaces (monx, wlanxmon, prismx, ...) created by airmon-ng and iw
        do not use virtual machines or emulators
        do not run other tools that take access to the interface in parallel (except: tshark, wireshark, tcpdump)
        do not use tools to change MAC (like macchanger)
        do not merge (pcapng) dump files, because this destroys assigned hash values!

short options:

Next version will go back to the roots:
set focus on WPA PSK (WPA1, WPA2, WPA2 key version 3)
set bandwidth to 20MHz to increase range
set bitrate to lowest values to increase range
use active monitor mode
use NL80211 stack
use RTNETLINK
band a, b, c, d, e support
use NMEA messages:
 $GPRMC: Position, velocity, time and date
 $GPGGA: Position, orthometric height, fix related data, time
 $GPWPL: Position and MAC AP
 $GPTXT: ESSID in HEX ASCII
remove options that slow hcxdumptool down

This is the last version, supporting OpenSSL 1.1
Next version 6.3.0 will need OpenSSL 3.0.0


01.09.2021
==========
hcxdumptool: added new option to the next EAP request entry contained in the sequence passed to
             --eapreq with a type matching the Desired Auth Type requested in a client's Legacy NAK response

                                     due to MAC randomization of the CLIENT, it does not always work!


17.05.2021
==========
release v 6.1.6
get ready for gcc 11.1.0


18.03.2021
==========
hcxdumptool: added VENDOR filter

==========
hcxdumptool: added new option to use short preamble
--short_preamble                   : use short preamble
                                     default: use long preamble
that may not work on older devices!


23.02.2021
==========
hcxdumptool: allow output to stdout
-o <dump file> : output file in pcapng format, filename '-' outputs to stdout
                 including radiotap header (LINKTYPE_IEEE802_11_RADIOTAP)


14.02.2021
==========
sll_pkttype = PACKET_OUTGOING is completely ignored in promiscuous mode
At least I found a way to detect outgoing packets.
Luckily IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TX_FLAGS is set on outgoing packets. If we check this, we are able to ignore them.
That save us CPU time.


13.02.2021
==========
hcxdumptool: added WATCHDOG - we need that to determine if USB device died
             Raspberry Pi LED will flash twice if now packet received turing the last past 600 seconds
             print AGE of last received packet in status


09.02.2021
==========

05.04.2020
==========
release v 6.0.5
Security fix: We do not want to disturb uninvolved users!
Increase error count and terminate hcxdumptool if channel was changed by a third party tool.
After transmitting a request, hcxdumptool expect an answer on the same channel.
If the channel was changed by a third party tool, hcxdumptool will never get this answer and transmit again, again and again. This will jam all channels, set by the third party tool.

improved attack vector
added new options to improve attack vector against hardened targets
added more information to help menu
added option to import Berkeley packet Filter code from tcpdump as alternative to apfilterlist and clientfilterlist
make less noise on the the channel (receive more, transmit less)
WLAN REASON CODE (deauthentication) no longer hardcoded
moved to git versioning on non releases

         do not run hcxdumptool on logical (NETLINK) interfaces (monx, wlanxmon)
         do not use hcxdumptool in combination with other 3rd party tools, which take access to the interface

short options:
-i <interface> : interface (monitor mode will be enabled by hcxdumptool)
                 can also be done manually:
                 ip link set <interface> down
                 iw dev <interface> set type monitor
                 ip link set <interface> up

-C             : show available channels and quit
                 if no channels are available, interface is probably in use or doesn't support monitor mode

long options:
--do_rcascan                       : show radio channel assignment (scan for target access points)
                                     this can be used to test that ioctl() calls and packet injection is working
                                     if you got no HIT, packet injection is possible not working
                                     also it can be used to get information about the target
                                     and to determine that the target is in range
                                     use this mode to collect data for the filter list
                                     run this mode at least for 2 minutes
                                     to save all received raw packets use option -o

Run hcxdumptool -i interface --do_rcascan for at least 30 seconds, before you start an attack!
Do not edit, merge or convert this pcapng files, because it will remove optional comment fields!
It is much better to run gzip to compress the files. Wireshark, tshark and hcxpcapngtool will understand this.
If hcxdumptool captured your password from WiFi traffic, you should check all your devices immediately!
If you use GPS, make sure GPS device is inserted and has a GPS FIX, before you start hcxdumptool!


06.03.2020
==========
complete rewrite from scratch
the Raspberry Pi is a little bit too slow, so we have to reduce status output. Most CLIENTs running randomized MACs. They are no longer displayed.
improved IE tag walk similar to hcxpcapngtool
improved attack vector
added new options to improve attack vector against hardened targets
added more information to help menu
added option to import Berkeley packet Filter code from tcpdump as alternative to apfilterlist and clientfilterlist
make less noise on the the channel (receive more, transmit less)
WLAN REASON CODE (deauthentication) no longer hardcoded
moved to git versioning on non releases


29.01.2020
==========
moved to v6.0.1
removed options to set userdefined MAC_AP and/or MAC_CLIENT, because they make hcxdumptool's stealth capability ineffective
improved handling of association/reassociation frames
improved handling of null/powersave frames
added counter for PMKID/EAPOL frames
handle EAP request/response frames
improved IE tag walk similar to hcxpcapngtool
fixed cipher suite and AKM suite handling
handle wrong FCS
reduce pcapng size
fixed internal counters
allow mixed attack vector PSK/PSK256
handle PMKID in reassociationrequest


11.12.2019
==========
moved to v6.0.0
hcxdumptool: complete rewrite from scratch
             filterlist split (APs, CLIENTs), entries increased upt to 256 each list:
             --filterlist_ap
             --filterlist_client
             improved real time display:
              driver information and firmware information (if available)
              detailed information about PMKID and MESSAGE PAIR)
              allow more than one option (--enable_status)
                 0: no status (default)
                 1: EAPOL
                 2: PROBE REQUEST/PROBE RESPONSE
                 4: AUTHENTICATION
                 8: ASSOCIATION/REASSOCIATION
                16: BEACON
                32: GPS (once a minute)
                64: internal status
               128: send status to client
             choose pcapng frames to save (-f) using option -o
             improved rca_scan:
              0: no real time display
              1: show only access points in range (default)
              2: show only access points not range
              3: show all access points
             improved GPS handling:
              read GPS information directly from device
              --use_gps_device=<device>
              or us GPSD
              --use_gpsd 
              use full standard NMEA raw sentence $GPGGA, $GPRMC, $GPGWL
              this version need hcxpcaptool v6.0.0 to convert GPS information or gpsbabel
              gpsbabel  -i nmea -f nmea.txt -o gpx -F test.gpx
              then open test.gpx with viking (layer -> waypoint -> BSSID) 
             ignore M4 if SNONCE is zeroed
             ignore PMKID if zeroed
             improved handling of radiatapheader on ath9k_htc driver
             new option codes:
              ENTERPRISE NUMBER        0x2a, 0xce, 0x46, 0xa1
              MAGIC NUMBER             0x2a, 0xce, 0x46, 0xa1, 0x79, 0xa0, 0x72, 0x33,

              OPTIONCODE_GPS           0xf2a1 (max 128 byte)
             removed weak candidate check, because it leads to many, many unauthorized MP:M1M2

hcxpioff: new options --tot, --poweroff, --reboot
--tot=<digit>  : enable timeout timer in minutes (minimum = 2 minutes)
               : hcxpioff will terminate if tot reached
--reboot       : once hcxpioff terminated, reboot system


20.09.2019

             high experimental, only on WPA2 QOS
             new dependency: lib crypto (openssl)


07.09.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: added new options

--reactive_beacon                  : send internal/external beacon on every received proberequest

02.09.2019
==========
hcxdumptool : added bind() ll.sll_pkttype = PACKET_OTHERHOST | PACKET_OUTGOING
              added setsockopt() r.mr_type = PACKET_MR_PROMISC

now dmesg will show when device entered promiscuous mode
during hcxdumptool initialization:
[ 6313.657830] device wlp3s0f0u11u1 entered promiscuous mode

and when it left promiscuous mode when hcxdumptool terminated:
[ 6313.735833] device wlp3s0f0u11u1 left promiscuous mode


01.09.2019

hcxdumptool     : print additional information about interfering services
first_steps.txt : added quickstart guide to docs


28.08.2019
==========
moved to v5.2.1


25.08.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: removed option --ignore_warning (no longer needed)
             hcxdumptool forces to set monitor mode running ioctl(SIOCGIWMODE) IW_MODE_MONITOR
             if that doesn't work on first try, try it again and/or
             do monitor mode manually:
             ip link set <interface> down
             iw dev <interface> set type monitor
             ip link set <interface> up

warning:     on some drivers rtlXXXX netlink will not notice that we use forced ioctl() system calls

18.08.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: print ESSID on status 1


15.08.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: added server - client status output (only local networkes)
--server_port=<digit>              : define port for server status output (1...65535)
                                   : default IP: 224.0.0.255
--client_port=<digit>              : define port for client status read (1...65535)
                                   : default IP: 224.0.0.255

example:
on client machine run hcxdumptool with option --client_port=12345
$ hcxdumptool -i <interface> -o test.pcapng --enable_status=1 --client_port=12345

on capture machine run hcxdumptool with option --server_port=12345
$ hcxdumptool -i <interface> -o test.pcapng --enable_status=1 --server_port=12345


13.08.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: added new option --check_driver
--check_driver      : run several tests to determine that driver support all(!) required system calls

If everything is fine, result should look like this:
$ sudo hcxdumptool -i wlp3s0f0u10u4 --check_driver
driver tests passed - all required ioctl() system calls are supported by driver

If not, hcxdumptool will show which test failed:
$ sudo hcxdumptool -i wlp3s0f0u10u5 --check_driver
ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS) failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCGIWMODE) failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) - IW_MODE_MONITOR failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCGIWMODE) failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCGIWMODE) - IW_MODE_MONITOR failed
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) -IFF_UP failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS) failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS) - IFF_UP | IFF_RUNNING | IFF_BROADCAST failed
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL) - ETHTOOL_GPERMADDR failed: No such device
ioctl(SIOCSIWFREQ) - IW_FREQ_FIXED failed: No such device
it looks like this interface/driver isn't suitable for hcxdumptool
possible reasons:
wrong interface selected
interface is blocked by another tool
driver doesn't support required ioctl() system calls


12.08.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: a crappy filter list is not longer a reason to terminate initialization


11.08.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: added new options --tot and --reboot  
--tot=<digit>                      : enable timeout timer in minutes (minimum = 2 minutes)
                                   : hcxdumptool will terminate if tot reached (EXIT code = 2)
--reboot                           : once hcxdumptool terminated, reboot system

hcxdumptool return values:
0 = every thing is fine
1 = error occurred
2 = tot reached


23.07.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: moved from usleep() to nanosleep()
hcxpioff: moved from usleep() to nanosleep()


17.07.2019
==========
added some additional information which ioctl() command isn't supported by driver
added warning on option --do_rcascan if packet injection fails (driver doesn't support
full packet injection) after 20 seconds

Remarks:
nl80211/cfg80211/mac80211 doesn't use use ioctl() calls, they use netlink.
hcxdumptool use ioctl() calls and will not work on netlink.
That is the case, if ioctl(SIOCGIWMODE) or ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) calls failed!

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-differences-between-netlink-sockets-and-ioctl-calls


30.06.2019
==========
increased maximum filter list entries from 64 up to 255
this will have a price tag, because hcxdumptool's respond time increases.


25.06.2019
==========
detect Raspberry Pi 4


23.06.2019
==========
moved to v 5.1.7
hcxdumptool: improved help
             fixed pcpng option header


12.06.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: ignore more warnings if --ignore_warning is selected
             do not report issues if you run this option!!!


29.05.2019
==========
hcxdumptool moved to v 5.1.5


19.05.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: activated option --ignore warning
--ignore_warning                   : ignore warnings
                                     try this if you get some driver warnings
                                     do not report issues


16.04.2019
==========
updated wiki device and README.md.
This adapters are working fine, running kernel 4.19, 4.20 and 5.0:
EDIMAX EW-7711UAN  ID 7392:7710 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd
ALLNET ALL-WA0150N ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter
TENDA W311U+       ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
LogiLink WL0151    ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter
regardless of the xhci issue.


14.04.2019
==========
removed all device names from README.md, because VENDORS often change chipsets or driver errors occur:
v1 of a device is working fine, while v2 doesn't work
device A, running driver A is working fine, while device B running driver A doesn't work
driver doesn't support monitor mode
driver support monitor mode, but doesn't support packet injection

02.04.2019
==========
hcxdumptool now use this radiotap header:

static const uint8_t hdradiotap[] =
{
0x00, 0x00, // radiotap version + pad byte
0x0e, 0x00, // radiotap header length
0x06, 0x8c, 0x00, 0x00, // bitmap
0x00, // flags
0x02, // rate
0x14, // tx power
0x01, // antenna
0x08, 0x00 // tx flags
#define HDRRT_SIZE sizeof(hdradiotap)
};

read more about radiotap header here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/mac80211-injection.txt


header is working with:
ID 148f:761a Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7610U ("Archer T2U" 2.4G+5G WLAN Adapter

The GPIO is disabled on default. If you like to activate GPIO support you must do
the hardware modifications as described here: doc/gpiowait.odg
and set the options according to your modification.
You can choose every GPIO pin, as long as you use a pull down resistor to ground. 
Raspberry model should be detected by automatic and according to the revision we use:
GPIO mem 0x20000000 for A, B, A+, B+, and Zero, Zero W(H)
GPIO mem 0x3F000000 for 2B, 3B, 3A+, 3B+

hcxdudmptool and mac80211_hwsim
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211. It can be used to
test hcxdumptool:
load module:
$ sudo modprobe mac80211_hwsim

run hcxdumptool to retrieve information about the interface:
$ hcxdumptool -I
wlan interfaces:
020000000000 wlan0 (mac80211_hwsim)
020000000100 wlan1 (mac80211_hwsim)

04.01.2019
==========
hcxdumptool - changed flash time:
LED flashes every 5 seconds = everything is fine
LED stays on = no signal received during the last past five seconds
hcxdumptool - ignore double outgoing packets (rth->it_present == 0)


03.01.2019
==========
hcxdumptool: changed flash time (5 times longer on ERROR)
hcxpioff: changed flash time


20.12.2018
==========
improved detection of broken driver
from now on GPIO LED blinks twice every 5 seconds
- if a possible driver issue is detected
- if no packets received during the last past 5 seconds

another indicator is that the incoming packetcounter (rx=xxxx)
doesn't increase

or dmesg show this error:
[65786.808078] ieee80211 phy2: rt2x00queue_flush_queue: Warning - Queue 14 failed to flush

13.08.2018
==========
increased some attack values:
--give_up_deauthentications=<digit>: disable transmitting deauthentications after n tries
                                     default: 100 tries (minimum: 4)
                                     affected: connections between client an access point
                                     deauthentication attacks will not work against protected management frames
--give_up_ap_attacks=<digit>       : disable transmitting directed proberequests after n tries
                                     default: 100 tries (minimum: 4)


07.08.2018
==========
moved to 4.2.1
added communication between hcxdumptool and hcxpcaptool via pcapng option fields:
62108 for REPLAYCOUNT uint64_t
62109 for ANONCE uint8_t[32]

enabled hardware handshake instead of software handshake
changed behavior of status:
--enable_status=<digit>            : enables status messages
                                     bitmask:
                                     1: EAPOL
                                     2: PROBEREQUEST/PROBERESPONSE
                                     4: AUTHENTICATION
                                     8: ASSOCIATION
Now we use a bitmask to deliver status messages.


06.08.2018
==========
write ISB (Interface Statistic Block) at the end of a capture


04.08.2018
==========
addet new option (--disable-active_scan) to hcxdumptool
--disable_active_scan: do not transmit proberequests to BROADCAST using a BROADCAST ESSID


04.08.2018
==========
release hcxdumptool 4.2.0
complete refactored:
-various new options
-measurement of EAPOL timeout
-full support for hashcat hashmodes -m 16800 and 16801
-now default format is pcapng

01.08.2018
==========
moved some stuff from hcxtools to hcxdumptool repository
prepare complete refactoring!


04.03.2018
==========
hcxdumptool: added new option -W
-W <dump file> : WEP encrypted packets output file in pcapformat including radiotap header (LINKTYPE_IEEE802_11_RADIOTAP)


04.03.2018
==========
hcxdumptool again complete refactored:


02.03.2018
==========
hcxdumptool is complete refactored:
- improved scan engine
- improved authentication engine (incl. Radio Measurement, and NULL frame detection)
- dropped timer
- use threads for LED and channel switch
- use only one file descriptor for raw socket operations
- working on Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 3e) WiFi adapter (kernel >= 4.15)
- working on Alfa AWUS036NH, Alfa AWUS036NHA
- working on Alfa AWUS036ACH (driver: https://github.com/kimocoder/rtl8812au)
- more channels allowed (depends on installed wireless regulatory domain)
- simple usage: hcxdumptool -i <interface> -o dumpfile.pcap -t 5
  interface (real interface - no monX) must be in monitor - all services/programs with access to the interface must be stopped! 
- new format of blacklist
- and more...
