Where Handshake.hccapx is my handshake file, and eithdigit.txt is my wordlist, you need to convert cap file to hccapx using The command should look like this in end hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -d 3 example: Handshake.hccapx' 'example :eightdigit.txtĮxample: hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -d 3 Handshake.hccapx eightdigit.txt To specify device use the -d argument and the number of your GPU.

Then you need to use the hash type which is 2500 for WPA, I do recommend using hashcat64.exe -help In order to use the GPU, you need to get its id using the following command.Type hashcat32.exe or hashcat64.exe depending on the architecture of your CPU.Navigate to your Hashcat folder where it’s unzipped.Open the Command Prompt (go to windows search and type cmd).Navigate to the location where you downloaded it, and unzip it, personally I like to use 7zip.

First you need to download Hashcat from.

The advantage of using HashCat is unlike aircrack-ng which uses the CPU to crack the key, HashCat uses the GPU, this makes the cracking process MUCH faster (results below). We all know we can use aircrack-ng to run a wordlist attack to crack WPA/WPA2, in this article I’m going to show you how to do the same using a tool called HashCat, and compare its speed with aircrack-ng.
