HCCAPX and PMKID files have extra characters in front and at the end

Environment
OS: Kali running on WSL2 (Windows 10 Pro 2004)

When running the script it outputs the hccapx and pmkid files with junk data at the beginning and end.
Hashcat throws out Hashfile './pmkid/NeatureIoT_b2935b6ed980.pmkid' on line 1 (WPA*01...3bb397*4e6561747572655f496f54***): Token length exception. The WPA*01 and *** at the end exist on every pmkid and hccapx file.

I will assume you are still using the old deprecated 16800 format on hashcat.
Its now under the new 22000 hash mode.

22000 | WPA-PBKDF2-PMKID+EAPOL

try with hashcat -m 22000

You are correct. I tried with 2500 and 16800 from the guides I saw floating around.

The 22000 did function normally. Thank you.
