Pineapple Evil WPA
The passphrase for a WPA network is meant to be kept secret, but often, is not. In many environments, the PSK is posted publicly - either accidentally, or as a semi-public guest network.
Enabling EvilWPA mode
EvilWPA is configured via PineAP > Evil WPA.
Use EvilWPA to match the passphrase and encryption type of the target access point.

Partial handshake capture
EvilWPA mode also allows partial handshake capture.
Typically, packets from both devices (the access point and the client) are required for attempting to crack a WPA handshake.
EvilWPA allows partial handshake capture - capturing only the handshake sent by the client - for use in a PMKID attack.
Partial PMKID handshake data captured will be saved in /root/loot/handshakes/.
