WPA2 cracking yields shared hex key?

So I've looked at some examples of other cracking WPA2 handshakes, which is why this boggles me.  Why am I getting what appears to be the shared hex key?  Shouldn't it be the plaintext key?  furthermore, if this really is the plaintext key, then I would have needed to set a rule to 36 characters (plus colons and SSID).  I only set 10 characters.  Anyways, here is my result.

ATT802:383bc8999eb2:5065f3fa89d1:8790560512

I know that the username/SSID is printed, which explains the "ATT802," but what is the rest?  Is that hex? If so, how do I get the ASCII key? I tried plugging that into a converter and just got gibberish.


This is my first attempt at this process so bear with me while I learn.  Thanks for the help.
