This is the main source for all forks:

  • RPiZeroW (32bit) older versions work, no more new releases as it now more a legacy device
  • RPiZero2W, RPi3, RPi4, RPi5 (64bit)

Pwnagotchi is a Raspberry Pi leveraging bettercap that survives from its surrounding Wi-Fi environment to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either passively, or by performing authentication and association attacks). This material is collected as PCAPNG files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including PMKIDs, full and half WPA handshakes.

The "old" Pwnagotchi used to have AI to help it learn from its environment, but since then AI seemed to destabilize the Wi-Fi firmware. So I have chosen to remove the AI completely to give the Pwnagotchi more up-time and longer battery life when taking it on a walk.

Multiple units within close physical proximity can "talk" to each other, advertising their presence to each other by broadcasting custom information elements using a parasite protocol @evilsocket built on top of the existing dot11 standard.
