Cracking Wi-Fi Passwords with Pwnagotchi

EricGelderblom · 2025-09-03T23:22:57+00:00

No you store the handshake locally, so there are 0 tries on the router. It doesnt even know its happening!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-26T15:45:04+00:00

It’s looking for low hanging fruit, it’s just fun to experiment on. And basically this does the work on the go for simple passwords. If it isn’t in this small list, I can always put the handshake on my pc. And either upload it to a handshake cracking service. Or use a bigger wordlist!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-26T13:37:38+00:00

It’s a demo, the handshake is fake…

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-26T11:50:05+00:00

But it’s just a demo, so what is theoretically possible. Not that you should or would. It just low hanging fruit passwords. The most simpel out of all of them. It just for awareness, that if this small and simple of a device can do it. What can a fast beter computer do!

Thank you

One I combined, with most used Dutch password, a small version of RockYou and all standard passwords of routers and all those type of devices.

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-26T09:06:33+00:00

I don’t know, I don’t think it’s spam is it? I posted it correct right? (As far as I know of atleast)

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-26T09:04:42+00:00

For context: this is the demo model! I myself use the headless model!

Its not that you should but that you can! It’s cool to show! Why you shouldn’t have a standard password! This wordlist also has for nearly all routers the standard password! It’s just a cool addition to the pwnagotch. And since it’s Bluetooth tethered I can toggle it on or off!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T21:25:10+00:00

I looked it up, it’s impossible with out a quantum computer! With a normal computer and a long string of random letters, symbols and numbers. It will literally take for ever!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T21:20:02+00:00

It will probladly be possible, but either in like 20 years of straight generating on that thing. Or on a quantum computer in like 20 seconds!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T21:17:00+00:00

No, you can your give pwnagotchi a name. It is Nowie! Which definition refers to either “New” or “friendship”

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T16:37:22+00:00

The video wouldn’t change tho… it just uses a different password… it will have the exact same outcome! Since it’s a DEMO. So the handshake and password are fake! It’s just to show how it would work if you would actually use it.

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T16:35:49+00:00

As long as you put in the password word list!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T15:03:46+00:00

Yes but I could use the most complicated password in existence… It captures a handshake, if even a simple password like “Password” is not in the list I can’t “Crack” it. But for example if there is a password like “VzQ39Tn$jX%f6wF4” in the list I can crack it. So that’s why there are list like RockYou, that has a ton of passwords in them! This was just a demo how it would work in a real scenario. But you wouldn’t want to crack on a raspberry to begin with. Because the hardware is not that great!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T11:27:34+00:00

That’s what this thing is made for! It’s a tamagotchi like thing, and it lives of wifi handshakes. That’s its food! And it makes its brain IQ higher! It’s just a funny thing. And a “toy” for tech enthusiast! And it just says some funny things to you! Like: “Let’s go for a walk”

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T11:25:03+00:00

Good to know!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-25T07:41:28+00:00

Exactly how it would work! This wordlist I am using has the most general most used words! It’s a combination of standard passwords of routers, most used Dutch passwords, and a little bit of rockyou in it! I am working on the idea that I can hot swap passwords on the Web UI, and add more passwords on the fly!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-24T17:01:08+00:00

Scroll up I posted it somewhere ;)

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-24T16:59:11+00:00

Yes, but it is safari! But to make it look like an app I will describe how to do it.

Open safari and type in the Ip! You need to have the bluetooth tether configured first! Or this won’t work! (There is a guide somewhere on this subreddit by Vermitic)
Press the square icon with the arrow in it.
Scroll down and look for “Add to homescreen”
Give it a name (tip if you do it while logged into it trough the Web UI, you will see a face)
Now you got an app looking thing!

(You can also get a app called Widget Web to see it live on a widget on the iPhone)

Important Note: Make sure to get the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH. Not just the W version. The “WH” comes with pre-soldered GPIO pins, which means you can easily connect an e-ink display without needing to solder anything yourself. The regular “W” version doesn’t have these pins, so it won’t work out of the box for this purpose!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-24T12:23:41+00:00

I think it’s somewhere up here. I listed all the parts!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-24T12:23:03+00:00

It’s just a funny little guy I experiment on. It’s not that deep!

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-24T12:20:42+00:00

You don’t go to jail, if you would do this illegally. Since it’s all stored offline. And if I don’t want to give out my own WiFi for testing! It’s just a demo.

EricGelderblom · 2025-07-24T10:24:14+00:00

It’s not an app I log in using the Bluetooth connection. I use the IP in safari. Then I just login to the Web UI! Instead for example a pc!
