Analyze a WPA Handshake Capture

Drop your .cap / .pcap / .pcapng / .hccapx / .hc22000 file — we detect the format, list captured SSIDs, and verify whether the EAPOL 4-way handshake is present. Everything runs locally in your browser, the file is never uploaded to any server.

What this tool checks

  • Format detection — via magic bytes (PCAP = D4 C3 B2 A1, PCAPNG = 0A 0D 0D 0A, HCCAPX = “HCPX”)
  • SSID extraction — scans for 802.11 beacon frame SSID information elements (tag 0x00)
  • EAPOL presence — detects 0x88 0x8E ethertype or WPA key type marker to confirm a 4-way handshake is captured
  • Ready for mode 22000 — tells you if the capture can be recovered by WiFi Password Recovery

This is a pre-flight check before submitting to recovery — save money on failed jobs by verifying your capture is valid first.
