Pwnagotchi

An AI Wi-Fi companion

A digital creature, inspired by the Tamagotchi, that explores Wi-Fi environments and grows smarter over time — for legal, authorized security testing and research.

  • Learns from its environment using reinforcement learning.
  • Optimizes Wi-Fi interactions to capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes efficiently.
  • Adapts its behavior based on success and surrounding networks.
  • Has moods — happy when capturing, bored when it's quiet, grumpy when idle.
  • Runs autonomously on dedicated hardware.
