A couple of Qs about PMK - Pilsener - 04-12-2019
I have been reading about PMKs, and how to capture, extract...etc....
That part is no problem.
But then the guide listed this:
We can now proceed cracking the bettercap-wifi.handshake.pmkid file so generated by using algorithm number 16800:
/path/to/hashcat -m16800 -a3 -w3 bettercap-wifi-handshakes.pmkid '?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d'
Now I started to wonder:
1. How do we know (in this example) that the passkey consists of 8 digits?
2. Is there any way to obtain (from the PMKID) any clue about what mask to set?

So what's the advantage of using PMK instead of .cap?

PMK can capture the appropriate data without clients.

Most important: no defective handshakes
