CAP file does not contain ESSID and handshake. about esp32-wifi-penetration-tool HOT 3 CLOSED

So the HCCAPX worked fine and was crackable, but pcap file was empty? Would you mind sharing both files?

PCAP does not include ESSID, because ESSID is not part of EAPoL-Key frames (4-way handshake frames), so that's expected. PCAP file should only include EAPoL-Key frames.

I see 59 packets in the pcap file, so how did you end up with the conclusion that there are no handshake packets?
Did you try to run cap2hccapx script on it or something similar from hashcat tools? It will not work, because pcap only contains EAPoL-Key frames as those are the actual 4-way WPA/WPA2 handshake frames. It's "by design" this way, but it can be a feature request to include also association frames in the pcap, so that it will work with cap2hccapx script (but I don't see a reason for this atm as hccapx file is provided directly by this tool).
