    Pwnagotchi mainly just does gamified deauth, by default it doesn’t do the cracking of the collected pcaps.

    Aircrackng can be installed as a plugin, but since it typically runs on rpi zeros it isn’t very performant. You’d typically want to move your pcaps to a different machine to do the cracking portion (either using aircrack or hashcat), or use aircrack’s entire suite on a more powerful laptop or something like that.

      Ah ok cool. So pwnagotchi is intended more as a teaching tool or a POC pentest, as opposed to an actual pentest. Am I understanding correctly?

        Yeah, pretty much. Although I’m sure plenty of people use it for malicious purposes, since it’s more convenient than carrying around a laptop, or for building out/competing on the opwngrid.

        It’s definitely not meant for commercial use, if that’s what you’re asking.

          Less for commercial use, and more for a true pentest of your own network. Well, I guess also for commercial use, for those professional pentesters out there, but I wasn’t thinking of them when I asked :/

          This whole gamified thing sounds pretty awesome, to be honest, and I’m intrigued.
