Pwnagotchi is an artificial intelligence-based tool used for breaking into Wi-Fi networks secured with the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protocol. The idea is that the Pwnagotchi device constantly listens to Wi-Fi networks nearby and automatically captures cracked WPA keys. To make it work, the user needs to take their Pwnagotchi outdoors where they can find Wi-Fi networks. To facilitate this task, the company Facelesstech has created a Pwnagotchi in the form of an iPhone that can be placed in a standard car dashboard mount.
We do not support black hat hacking and want to make it clear that this is only a tool for gaining experience with Wi-Fi networks, security, reinforcement learning, and hardware. It is for fun and learning, dear users – do not entertain any ideas of unethical behavior.
There is no “official” Pwnagotchi device, but most are built using a single Raspberry Pi Zero W (or Zero W 2) computer. This is a small device, but users need to add a battery, display, and some kind of button or switch. The resulting cases are usually quite large and look like DIY devices assembled by hackers. The iPwnagotchi13 from Facelesstech is compact and can be placed in any smartphone-designed mount. The design of this device is discreet and attracts less suspicion.
To achieve this, Facelesstech has designed a 3D-printable case/frame that has the same size and shape as the iPhone 13. It includes a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a 2.13-inch E Ink (V3 or V4) display from Waveshare, a LiPo 604050 battery, a universal power bank charging board from AliExpress, and a small switch. The latest software they use is version 2.5.7 of the Pwnagotchi operating system. The battery is small, but Facelesstech states that it lasts for several hours of use.
The best part is that the iPwnagotchi13 fits into a standard iPhone case. Placing it in such a case makes the device look like an ordinary, boring smartphone. Facelesstech has even printed a pair of fake camera lenses on the 3D case, which protrude through the case and further emphasize the deception.
If you are interested in building your own Pwnagotchi, this version is definitely the best one we have seen.
