• Build a Pwnagotchi…or tw...

Still looking at wifi cracking, updating myself on stuff and finding that much of what I taught back in 2015 is still relevant, especially when we tie in the password audit fundamentals….

Anyway, in the process of things me and some friends found pwnagotchi

These are fun, almost toys, that help people understand a little bit about wifi networks all around us, and capturing handshakes.

I have found that the 2.4ghz wifi on the pi-zero is perfect, and with the screen and a 3d printed case you are in pwnagotchi heaven.

Here is my config:

main:
name: ‘pwnagotchi’
whitelist:
– ‘mynet1’
– ‘mynet2’
plugins:
grid:
enabled: false
report: false
exclude:
– ‘mynet1’
– ‘mynet2’
auto-update:
enabled: true
AircrackOnly:
enabled: true
memtemp:
enabled: true

ui:
display:
enabled: true
type: ‘waveshare_2’

I like to use the AircrackOnly plugin so I get more of the handshakes I have a solid method to crack, if I so choose to.

Pwnagotchi puts the handshakes in a folder /root/handshakes and they are in cap format, and I like hashcat so I convert them:
/usr/share/hashcat-utils/cap2hccapx.bin wpa.cap wpa.hccapx
