wpaclean

Wpaclean is a command-line tool that is used to remove unnecessary or unwanted files from WPA captures. It is specifically designed for cleaning and optimizing pcap files captured from wireless networks protected by the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) protocol. The tool analyzes the pcap files and removes any duplicate or unnecessary frames, reducing the file size without compromising the overall capture. Wpaclean is very efficient in its operation and can process large pcap files quickly, making it a useful tool for security researchers and network administrators. It provides options to filter out and remove different types of frames, including management frames, control frames, and data frames, allowing users to customize the cleaning process according to their specific needs. The cleaned pcap files generated by wpaclean are compatible with various Wi-Fi analysis tools, like Wireshark, enabling further analysis and troubleshooting. The tool ensures that the cleaned files remain in the standard pcap format, ensuring compatibility and ease of use with other tools and applications. Wpaclean supports both WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) and WPA-EAP (Enterprise) captures, allowing users to clean files captured from different types of WPA networks. It also provides options to merge multiple pcap files and remove any duplicates, enabling users to consolidate captures from different locations or timeframes into a single, optimized file. Wpaclean is an open-source tool available for various operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and Windows, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for users across different platforms.
