cc -O3 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 -o hcxdumptool hcxdumptool.c /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file hcxdumptool: Is a directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Makefile:29: build] Error 1

can someone please specify the steps by steps how to install the above tools.

thank you

delete all directories with hcxdumptool, hcxtools and hashcat. do a fresh git clone for every tool: git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxtools git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat

cd into every folder and run make install: cd hcxtools make install cd .. cd hcxdumptool make install cd .. cd hashcat make install cd .. forget the youtube videos where all tools are copied together into one directory.

This is an issue tracker. If you have questions, please ask here for help: https://hashcat.net/forum/ https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-6661.html

Closed, because it isn't an issue.

same problem?...

[ZerBea]

This issue was caused by a broken installation. possible reasons:

• user copied source code from all tools into one folder
• user used source code folder as working directory

I assume OS is KALI!

@huitc you're running Android, but a required include file wasn't pulled. So you have to pull it and copy it to include folder.

Hi i am trying to clone, but it's asking for username and password. Where can I find those?

[strasharo]

Use the https url instead of the SSH one.

No password required to clone hcxtools/hcxdumptool: $ git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool Klone nach 'hcxdumptool' ... remote: Enumerating objects: 46, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (46/46), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (31/31), done. remote: Total 1336 (delta 26), reused 34 (delta 15), pack-reused 1290 Empfange Objekte: 100% (1336/1336), 460.31 KiB | 1.09 MiB/s, Fertig.

Hi, thanks. I was able to clone hcxdumptool and hcxtools and hashcat but when i complie;

1.hcxdumptool using

cd /usr/local/bin/hcxdumptool make make install

then it gives error " install: "hcxdumptool" and /usr/local/bin/hcxdumptool are the same name file. make***:[makefile:29: install error 1]

2. After clonning hcxtools When i go to cd /usr/local/bin/hcxtools make

then it says

: fatal error curl/curl.h no file or directory found.

include <curl/curl.h>

3. After clonning hashcat; when i go to cd /usr/local/bin/hashcat make then it gives error

   " install: cannot overwrite directory "/usr/local/bin/hashcat" with non directory. make***:[src/makefile:455: install hashcat] Error 1

Your workflow is an absolute no go!

first install dependencies: To install requirements on Kali use the following 'apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev'

never clone to your binary directory /usr/local/bin/ !!!!! Instead cd to your home directory and do a git clone, followed by a cd to the hcxtools folder. Than run make and make install (as super user) cd $HOME git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxtools cd hcxtools make make install

cd $HOME git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool cd hcxdumptool make make install

For hashcat you must install GPU driver and opencl runtime!!! https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=frequently_asked_questions#installation

cd $HOME git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat cd hashcat make make install

No hay de qué.

I am getting an error while running the 'apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev' command:- Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done libssl-dev is already the newest version (3.0.13-1~deb12u1). libssl-dev set to manually installed. zlib1g-dev is already the newest version (1:1.2.13.dfsg-1). zlib1g-dev set to manually installed. Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libcurl4-openssl-dev : Depends: libcurl4 (= 7.88.1-10+deb12u6) but 8.8.0-1~bpo12+1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Actually, I want to run make and make install for hcxdumptools and hcxtools but get the following error:- hcxdumptool.c:41:10: fatal error: pcap/pcap.h: No such file or directory 41 | #include <pcap/pcap.h> | ^~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:75: hcxdumptool] Error 1

Any fix for the situation? EDIT: I am running Parrot OS Home on Virtual Box btw.

@ChaarSaal I'm not certain what documentation you are reading as current installation instructions should be as follows:

1. Update your system to it's latest: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
2. Install required system packages: sudo apt-get install git gcc make libpcap libpcap-dev

Note: These packages may come under different names! Make sure you're installing the correct packages!

3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool.git
4. cd into that directory: cd hcxdumptool
5. Compile and install: make -j $(nproc) && sudo make install

From here, the tool should be installed and ready for use.

[ZerBea]

@ChaarSaal By default, Debian based distributions are not designed to compile and install additional tools (e.g. hcxtools, hcxdumptool). If that's what you want, it is mandatory to install the development tools and the development files (as mentioned by @Jake-Grafton ).

Unfortunately your package manager is broken on your distribution and you got this error; E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. To fix that (and this has to be fixed first) please take a look at the documentation of your distribution or e.g. here: https://superuser.com/questions/1793779/parrot-os-unmet-dependencies-held-broken-packages.
