Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based “AI” powered by bettercap and running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W that learns from its surrounding WiFi environment in order to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either through passive sniffing or by performing deauthentication and association attacks). This material is collected on disk as PCAP files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including full and half WPA handshakes as well as PMKIDs.

The Facelesstech blog was browsing the pwnagotchi discord server and saw someone mention having a pwnagotchi mounted in a phone holder in a car, which got them thinking about putting one into a phone case of some kind. The ipwnagotchi13 was born.

Hardware

• Raspberry pi zero W/zero W2
• Waveshare 2.13″ eink screen v3/v4
• Powerbank DIY PCB 5v boost+chargeing
• Lipo battery 604050
• 3 pin switch 3mm
• M2.5 hex bolts 6mm x4
• iPhone 13 case

It was a strange build to pull off because for one I didn’t even know if it would all fit into the iPhone 13 case and two I didn’t know if i would be able to wire it up the way I wanted it to. I think it’s far from perfect but it suits my needs.
