Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

MAC-SNOOP

An NPM module useful for WiFi password cracking. Useful to use with hashcat.

This package is only for macOS, I wrote it because a lot of alternatives seemed overly complicated or unavailable on Mac.

Requirements

  1. Homebrew
  2. Node.js
  3. TCPDUMP (preinstalled on macOS AFAIK)
  4. Wireshark. If you do not have Wireshark, it will be installed on first use.
  5. Hcxtools. If you do not have these, they will also be installed on first use.

Note: Please make sure these tools are accessible from your command line and added to your path. This is how the CLI detects their installation. Make sure

which mergecap

and

which hcxpcapngtool

both work.

Installation

Node.js

Snoop

npm i -g mac-snoop

Homebrew

From brew.sh

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

or

snoop --install

Wireshark and Hcxtools

Once you are sure Homebrew has been installed (check with which brew):

brew install wireshark hcxtools

or run the snoop command. It will automatically install wireshark and hcxtools.

Usage

Example Usage:

snoop -o wifihash.hc22000

If you haven't installed Wireshark or hcxtools, the CLI will attempt to install them for you with brew. Install success This will print a list of available networks to stdout. You then select them with their ID. Select Network Prompt

After you select the network, it will capture the network beacon, then start listening for the network handshake.

Once it has collected the handshake packets (i.e, someone has connected to the network). It will then merge the captured files and transform them into a form that hashcat can crack.

To crack with hashcat, use hashcat -m 22000

Options

  • snoop -v - gets version number
  • snoop -h - displays help
  • snoop --list - will list availible network interfaces.
    • Essentially an alias for networksetup -listallhardwareports
  • snoop -p - specifies password for commands (some of them must be run as sudo). If left blank, will prompt user for password.
  • snoop -o sets the final output file.
  • snoop -H sets the handshake file name. Note: this file is deleted after the merge.
  • snoop -b sets the beacon file name. Note: this file is deleted after the merge.
  • snoop -i sets the network interface to be used. To see a list of interfaces, type:
networksetup -listallhardwareports

The default interface is en0. On most MacBooks this is the wifi card.

Due to limitations with recent macOS versions and hardware, this tool cannot be used with an external WiFi card on many new mac devices.

Problems

On ocassion, macOS will seem to be "stuck" in monitor mode. This can usually be fixed with a simple reboot. But I have added:

snoop --enable

as an alternative. It should also work to re-enable managed mode.
