[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've packaged hashcat, hashcat-utils and hcxtools.

I don't have access to OpenCL-compatible hardware at the moment, so I
can't really test hashcat.  Anyone?

Also I'm not so sure about hashcat-utils and hcxtools: the code quality
seems rather low at first glance.

hashcat-utils seems to be necessary, e.g. to convert pcap files to the
hccapx format used by hashcat.

aircrack-ng can used in stead of hcxtools.  See
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=cracking_wpawpa2.

While the hashcat community recommends hcxtools, I am under the
impression that aircrack-ng is a much more polished tool suite.

What do you think?
