Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based "AI" that learns from its Wi-Fi surroundings to optimize the cracking of WPA handshakes. It's essentially a Tamagotchi for penetration testing, running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a small e-paper display to visualize its progress and "emotional" state.
Core Functionality: Its primary goal is to passively capture wireless network handshakes for later offline cracking. It improves its handshake capturing skills through continuous learning, adjusting its behavior based on environmental feedback.
Hardware Requirements: Requires a Raspberry Pi Zero W, an e-paper display (for visual output), a microSD card for the operating system and data storage, and a power source (usually a USB power bank).
Operating System: Typically runs on a custom Linux distribution designed for penetration testing, often built around Kali Linux or similar security-focused distributions.
Learning Process: The Pwnagotchi uses a reinforcement learning algorithm to learn the optimal strategies for associating with access points and capturing handshakes. It's rewarded for capturing handshakes and penalized for failing to do so or getting deauthenticated.
Display & "Personality": The e-paper display shows the Pwnagotchi's status, learning progress, and a set of "emotions" represented by facial expressions. These expressions are intended to provide feedback about the Pwnagotchi's current state and activities.
Offline Cracking: The captured handshakes are stored on the Pwnagotchi's microSD card and need to be transferred to a more powerful machine for offline password cracking using tools like Hashcat or Aircrack-ng.
Customization: Pwnagotchi is highly customizable. Users can modify its behavior through configuration files, add plugins to extend its functionality, and even train their own custom AI models.
Ethical Considerations: Using Pwnagotchi requires careful consideration of legal and ethical implications. Capturing network traffic without permission is illegal in many jurisdictions. It should only be used on networks you own or have explicit permission to test.
Plugins: There are a variety of Plugins available that can be used to extend the functionality of the pwnagotchi.
In essence, Pwnagotchi provides a fun and engaging way to learn about wireless network security and reinforcement learning, while also serving as a practical tool for penetration testing (when used ethically and legally).
