"In the meantime, could you advise something to the author of the current thread (Joe_Baker) based on your experience?"
To gain the necessary basic knowledge, hashcat FAQ are very helpful:
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...s#overview
I couldn't explain it better than what is described in this general guide.
BTW:
It makes it very difficult to give an advice, because of missing information about the OS, version of NVIDA driver and version of CUDA SDK.
There is no need to open a new thread, because nearly everything is already explained.
Since Atom persuaded me to publish hcxtools (nearly the same time when hashcat went open source) I started a thread:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-6661.html
It describe how to use hcxtools and how to build a WiFi analysis environment.
Another thread followed after we (again thanks to Atom and RealEnder) discovered the PMKID attack:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-7717.html
A WPA1/2 basic tutorial is here:
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=cracking_wpawpa2
Inside this threads are several links to get more background information about the functions "behind the scenes".
My advice is to read this basics and to play around with the examples mentioned above and here:
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes
My second advice is to learn and understand Linux step by step:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
BTW:
A successful installation of K A L I by graphical installer is far away from learning and understanding Linux.
That include openssl crypto:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man7/crypto.html
because it provide all functions to calculate and verify PMKs and PMKIDs.
"Perhaps you have written your own utility."
To find out how a PMK is calculated, please take a look at the source code of wlangenpmk (CPU based):
https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxkeys
or wlangenpmkocl (OpenCL based):
There are similar functions (CPU based) in hcxpcapngtool, hcxhashtool and hcxpmkidtool as well as in hcxdumptool.
