    Hi there

    I've been training on Kali Linux for the past couple of weeks. I've captured a WPA2 handshake and I want to have a go at cracking it.

    I have visited naive hashcat website and now converted the .cap file to a hccapx file. Now I have the file saved and ready to be cracked.

    I have installed most recent kali on usb boot.

    The router I'm testing is a Talk Talk Hub.

    Any advice in what to do next? I haven't got further than this.

    I don't really use Kali, preferring to install the tools to my Debian machines instead. I can't remember is hashcat installed by default in Kali?

    So, first step is ascertain is hashcat installed, and if not, install it.

    Then run hashcat against the hcappx file. The command will look something like:

    hashcat64 -m 2500 -d 3 Handshake.hccapx" eightdigit_wordlist.txt

    I haven't checked. It would be strange if it wasn't.
