wpaclean output input ...

wpaclean cleans capture files to get only the 4-way handshake and a beacon. It produces cleaned output files containing only the EAPOL authentication frames needed for offline password analysis, significantly reducing file size by removing all non-handshake traffic.Multiple input capture files can be processed and combined into a single cleaned output file. The tool is part of the aircrack-ng suite and is typically used to prepare capture files before running them through aircrack-ng or hashcat for WPA/WPA2 password recovery during authorized security assessments.Note that the output file is specified before the input file(s) in the argument order.
