About
Pwnagotchi is an AI-powered tool that learns from its WiFi environment to maximize the capture of crackable WPA key material. It uses A2C-based reinforcement learning and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The tool passively sniffs or performs deauthentication and association attacks to collect handshakes stored as PCAP files. Pwnagotchi is highly customizable, with options for changing faces, fonts, and adding plugins for extra functionality. It also features a web UI for remote access.

FAQs
Why does Pwnagotchi eat handshakes?
Because WPA is insecure, yet it’s everywhere. Why not build an AI that lives off of them?
What kinds of handshakes does Pwnagotchi eat?
Check out [WiFi Handshakes 101](/intro/#wifi-handshakes-101).
Does Pwnagotchi support both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz?
Yes, but does your hardware? _Pwnagotchi can’t pwn what it can’t see._
Just how politely _does_ Pwnagotchi deauth?
In AUTO mode, Pwnagotchi will only attempt to deauthenticate a device ______ times max. In AI mode, the AI determines the maximum number of deauthentication attempts.
Hey, I want to learn more about how Pwnagotchi actually works.
Check out the [Introduction](/intro/) and the [Training the AI](/usage/#training-the-ai) docs.
How is Pwnagotchi using bettercap?
Pwnagotchi’s primary functionality is built on top of bettercap. Also, you can access [bettercap’s web UI](/usage/#bettercap-s-web-ui) whenever Pwnagotchi isn’t already using bettercap to pwn.
What happens if I run a Pwnagotchi without the AI enabled?
It’ll still be (almost) fully functional; the only difference between AUTO and AI modes is that when your Pwnagotchi is in AI mode, the AI is tuning the pwnage algorithm according to its reward function, instead of blindly following the basic algorithm for channel hopping, sniffing packets, sending deauthentication and association attacks, and capturing handshakes.
How easy is it to hack Pwnagotchi to add additional functionality?
VERY easy! Check out the [Plugins](/plugins/) section. :D
What hardware do I need to create my very own Pwnagotchi?
Check out the [Required Hardware](/installation/#required-hardware) (and the recommendations below).
Is there any way to see my Pwnagotchi’s face even if I don’t have a display?
Yes, absolutely! Pwnagotchi’s [web UI](/usage/#the-web-ui) is what you seek.
How do I attach the screen to the Raspberry Pi?
For the recommended hardware, the [WaveShare v2 2.13inch E-Ink display HAT](https://www.waveshare.com/2.13inch-e-paper-hat.htm), be sure your Pi has male pins attached, then place the hat on top of the board’s pins and gently push the screen down onto the pins. The Pwnagotchi image will have all the files and configurations ready when you first boot the device.
I love my new Pwnagotchi, but it kinda looks like a bomb. Where can I find a decent case?
Most users are 3D printing theirs, but be sure to check out the [Cases](/installation/#case) doc for more ideas.
Why does everybody use e-ink screens for their Pwnagotchis?
Because they don’t drain the battery and they’re readable in direct sunlight. 🙃
How do I connect to my Pwnagotchi?
Check out [Connect to your Pwnagotchi](/configuration/#connect-to-your-pwnagotchi).
How do I change my Pwnagotchi’s name?
Check out [Name your new Pwnagotchi](/configuration/#name-your-new-pwnagotchi).
