Hi, you’re missing libpcap dependency. Install it with sudo apt install libpcap-dev

Pushed an update of hcxdumptool. Now we’re using pkg-config, too. Please try.

I had the same problem but, here’s the solution. Use command : apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libpcap-dev

And the “make install”

Give me some minutes to try something.

Please comment output of $ uname -a to see what version you are using. Make sure, your system is updated to latest version. Read more here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-update-kali-linux If that doesn’t work, your KALI is broken and you have to install it again. I assume your system is broken!

Now Clean up your folders: rm -r hcxtools rm -r hcxdumptool

Than do a fresh git clone: git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxtools git clone https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool

Install dependencies as mentioned in README.md $ apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

Now you’re ready to compile the tools: cd hcxtools $ sudo make $ sudo make install $ cd …/hcxdumptool $ sudo make $ sudo make install $ cd …

After this, you are ready to use hcxtools.

As of todays update (v 5.1.1), libpcap-dev is no longer needed. I got rid of that dependency. From new README.md: Requirements

Linux (recommended Arch Linux, but other distros should work, too (no support for other distributions).
libopenssl and openssl-dev installed
librt and librt-dev installed (should be installed by default)
zlib and zlib-dev installed (for gzip compressed cap/pcap/pcapng files)
libcurl and curl-dev installed (used by whoismac and wlancap2wpasec)
libpthread and pthread-dev installed (used by hcxhashcattool) To install requirements on Kali use the following ‘apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev’

You need to install the libpcap-dev package. Check the readme: To install requirements on Kali use the following 'apt-get install libpcap-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev'
