💖 short options 💖

• -l <hash line> — drop in a hashcat hash line (you know, the -m 22000 kind).
• -e <ESSID> — tell it the Network Name (the ESSID, bestie).
• -p <PSK> — hand it a Pre Shared Key (PSK) or a Plain Master Key (PMK), your choice.
• -p - — instead of typing the key, read the Pre Shared Key (PSK) from stdin. 🌸
  • the little note that comes with this one is small lists only. fr fr, don't go wild with it.

🧚 long options 🧚

hcxpmktool does not do NONCE ERROR CORRECTIONS. so if a packet got lost along the way, you get a wrong PTK. that's it, that's the whole warning, no cap. 🙈
