An assessor captured only two EAPOL messages toward a municipal WPA2-Personal target. What should they conclude about offline PSK testing readiness?

Short Explanation
Half a handshake is like half a key—it looks related, but the lock still will not turn for offline testing. Go back, stay on channel, and capture the full exchange (or an equivalent usable set). Two lonely EAPOL frames usually mean 'not ready yet.'
Full Explanation
Classic offline WPA2-PSK testing depends on sufficient EAPOL handshake material for the targeted AP/client pair. Capturing only a partial exchange commonly leaves the set unsuitable for reliable testing, so assessors should recapture until completeness criteria for their tool/workflow class are met. Preferring incomplete evidence or assuming any two frames suffice is incorrect methodology judgment.
