airdecap-ng -e {{essid}} -p {{password}} {{path/to/capture.cap}}

  • Decrypt a WPA/WPA2 encrypted capture file preserving the headers using the access point's [e]ssid and [p]assword:

airdecap-ng -l -e {{essid}} -p {{password}} {{path/to/capture.cap}}

  • Decrypt a WPA/WPA2 encrypted capture file using the access point's [e]ssid and [p]assword and use its MAC address to filter:
