The Pwnagotchi Project: A beginners guide to getting started (waveshare v4)
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 12. 2023
- This is a bare bones getting started guide and tutorial for the Pwnagotchi. An adorable portable WIFI hacking InfoSec pet.
This device uses AI to learn and adapt itself to environments you expose it to and will capture handshakes either through passive listening or active de-authentication attacks.
The pwnagotchi does not perform denial of service attacks and limits itself so that a user hardly notices any interruption of service.
While this device can be used for malicious purposes it can also be used for auditing and educational purposes. This guide does not cover cracking any captured handshakes.

VIDEO UPDATE - 1/10/24 - READ BELOW
After doing some testing I feel comfortable enough to recommend more updated hardware and a different image versus what was shown in the video.
That hardware was just what I had available to me at the time but it is quite dated as the Raspberry Pi is from 2017.
A newer Pi will have more options as well as more processing power and is supported by more third party images.
The rest of the video can be applied as-is other than swapping the hardware and image out.
Hardware Recommendations:
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Wireless / Bluetooth) 2021 (RPi Zero 2W)
amzn.to/4aR6nhK
Vilros 40 Pin Hammer-in Header Install Rig (For people who don't like to solder like me.)
amzn.to/3NXlHQ2
Waveshare v4 E-Ink Display
amzn.to/3GTdbxG
USB to MicroUSB Data Transfer Cable
amzn.to/3RSoxqX
Images I recommend for the newer Raspberry Pi Zero 2:
Aluminum Ice Image

pls do more with pwnagotchi
First ty for taking the time for doing a video noob oriented!
What I have:
I have a Raspberry pi zero w 1, also I'm trying to get a waveshare4 but my country it's messed up to get one (Argentina) I just to wait till feb16 to get one. Did you tried connecting to the mini HDMI?
Now I have Xyl0se
/
Pwnagotchi-new-guerilla-guide one flashed but can't connect it to internet and my web just died (but can connect to bt on android)
Second I see a ton of new images in the repos you bring to the table in the updated description but those images doesn't have much info on what's changed in respect of the original
Wich one should I be based of to choose? Do you know if anyone fix the DNS problems? original evil one kinda abandoned the project after dropping the mic sadly
Again ty for sharing this passion to newcomers, sorry in advance for anything misspelled (not my mother language lol) and the chunk of text in this comment
Thanks I tried to keep it simple so more people could enjoy this project!
If you have the original Pi Zero I'd start with Jays pwnagotchi-rpi-bullseye-2.6.4-armhf.img.xz which can be found here - github.com/jayofelony/pwnagotchi-torch/releases/tag/v2.6.4
If you run into issues with Jays you can also try the original image I used in the video which is Dr Schottky's. The image still works it's just pretty old and outdated.
I have a small playlist of a few videos showing how I managed to get the device connected to the internet as well as adding extras so you might want to check those out if you haven't already.
No worries on the language barrier I understood most of what you were asking.

@@cybercatlabs I flashed in a rush of "why not... If it doesn't run I start over no one dies" for the science and lols.
Burned the ice-aluminum.
Now I going through all steps (now I'm going through 2nd video FTP part all working!)
Found a validator for toml... The old issue was a comma at end of list.
Sadly can't paste u the link here but... "Toml-lint" it's awesome.
@@cybercatlabs sadly web part didn't work:
Going out with: Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A.
I got with the script this error on second call: (same folder, and all... script actually runs) Exception of HRESULT: 0x80040201
+ CategoryInfo: OperationStopped(:) [nameOfScript.ps1], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :

Smells like an unhanded exception, and something custom for the bad spacing... Will debug it tomorrow and tell you if I get something ;)
Next video should be "you have a functional pwnagotchi, now what"
In the works. Hopefully will have it done sometime this week.
wardrive bruh
Did the video happen?
@@conspiratorsaredumb yea
Go for a walk.
Nice to see some new videos on the Pwnagotchi. Thanks for taking the time to make this one so detailed and easy to follow. I will be sharing it for the people that are always asking me how to build one.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Most underrated Pwnagotchi Video I've seen so far. Keep up the great work!
Dude. I almost bought a new Pi Zero thinking I'd broken it. This is, by far, the most useful tutorial on the subject I've seen. EVERYTHING pales in comparison to this. Thank you so, so much. Oh. My. God.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you found the video useful.
I’ve had a headache on this for 3 days and here you come to finally save me! I thank you good sir
Haha, I understand the frustration. I'm glad you got it working!
Seriously THANK YOU!! Been working on getting my Pwnagotchi working with my Waveshare V4 for a couple weeks, and your video was the Christmas miracle I needed!
Just in time to feed it all those delicious Christmas wifi signals! I'm glad you found my video helpful.
same for me
Yo bro can you please help me with this a bit @@dobe2049
ITS ALIIIIIVE!!! By far the best tutorial on CZcams on this subject. (I think I’ve probably watched them all)
Works fine with the waveshare v4 screen.. very detailed and easy to follow. I was going to give up completely but now I’m thinking about taking over the world .
Thank you and keep up the good work
Which image did you use?
I literality just found out about Pwnagotchi! I was so intrigued I decided to build my own! Waiting for all my parts to come in cant wait!
It's a fun little project if you take your time with it.
Finally I got my pwnagotchi to work thanks to your video. Days of fustration gone. Great work!
THANK YOU!!! The unique vid for making my pwnagotchi. i had a lot of problems, but with this video i can do it!
Awesome, really love the videos. I've been struggling to find something that works with the waveshare v4. Thanks alot
Nice video straight forward and easy setup. Also thank you for the Amazon links that helped alot.
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you so much. This video alone has made me a forever fan. Thank you.
Finally a tutorial for the v4 display thank you so much
honestly best tutorial ive ever seen
Thanks for this keep them coming pal I super appreciate it
Hey thanks for this video! By far the easiest one to follow.
What an excellent channel! I dug my 5 Pi Zeros while sorting my workshop and bought a couple of Pi Sugars ... This led me down the rabbit hole again, sorry to say that YT has loads of out of date and/or simply irritating people on tis very subject. One thing, for example, 4 years ago (and even now) presentations assume you only use Windows, glad to see you have addressed this as well. Looking forward to seeing more content like this. I think the Pwnagotchi project is a 'Cinderella' and so much more can be done here. I wonder if there is any attempts to use Rockchip Pi Zero format with this project? Congratulations, and I like the graphics you use. Best, James
Excellent video!! Clear and easy to follow and understand! Going to order my. 👍
PS: Liked and subscribed.
PPS: That hammer gadget looks brutal! Not seen them before, not sure about i
So helpful thank you! got mine up and running!
Great to hear!
This is amazing, thank you for making this tutorial.
Glad you like it!
Def do more videos. Need updated videos.
Please make more!! This is sooo useful!!!
Thank you so much for this. I accidentally bought a v4 as well
Finally a reliable solution for V4 E-ink display 🙌🙌
Duuuude, thank you so much ! You just saved me from getting frustrated lol
Awesome tutorial
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this tutorial! Finally is working after failling everytime because my ink display was not supported
Glad I could help!
Yo thank you for showing how to connect the gpio, I thought it had it on but I realized from watching this video that I literally just didn’t push it on enough
Thank you. I have the same hardware, but use a Mac 😢 Any tips or pointers? Or will the steps be the same? Thx for this great video.
bro ty i couldn't find a waveshare v4 tutorial
Thanks a lot!
I've tried almost everything on my PI Zero W with the Waveshare V3 but could not get the e-ink display to work. DrSchottky image worked out of the box on the first boot.
Can't seem to get a picture with Pwnagotchi v2.6.4 32-bit on my original Zero with the recommended latest image in the description.
Hi all I've been trying to get my Waveshare V4 working on a Pwnagotchi since November last year after watching this I realised that there was one line missing in the config file this " ui.display.rotation = 180 " I've tried hundreds of times and spent whole days trying to get it working I'm not joking about that either, and guess what it now works perfectly, so thank you.
Awesome ! Thank you so much. I was trying get it to work and with your help, it finally does.
But i have only one Problem. When i was trying to install the RNDIS Drivers, after it completed the action, my pc runs into a Bluescreen and the installation seemed to fail. Do you have any Ideas how to solve that or anything related to that?
Thanks again :)
I have a v3 display, can I follow your guide but use display set to 3 in the config? Also if I don't want a deauth, I read that: personality.deauth = false inside the config, so do I basically just type this out as I can't see it in the config?
Are these newer flashes backwards compatible? I think my display is V2 but the updated flash gives me a spotted screen.
thank u so much!
I did the same as you but evem after 20 minutes my display shows nothing. When i try to connect to ssh the password is incorrect but the rest worked. Display isnt showing anything
Hands down the best Pwnagotchi tutorial out there! Thank you!
I’m curious about cases though… I just busted my ribbon cable trying to fit my pwnagotchi into a case 😢 Have you found any perfect designs?
I appreciate the kind words. As for the cases I've only bought one case from Esty and a tab on it fell apart within 5 minutes making the backplate kind of useless. I haven't bought another one since then. I've thought about getting into 3D printing myself to try and refine what's already out there. But at this moment I don't really have any recommendations.
@@cybercatlabs got it, thanks for the quick response! I scaled up the compatible open sourced cases just a tiny bit and the fit is perfect.
I’d love to send you a set of 3d printed pwnagotchi cases in exchange for your 10/10 guidance in this tutorial. Would be a fun video idea too from my end!
Very kind of you to offer but I don't really have a PO Box to receive items. Would be cool to see a video of cases getting made though if you decide to build some for yourself or someone else.
@@cybercatlabs no worries! and I have a pwnagotchi vid coming next week, I spend a decent amount of time on the case printing.
Anyone known way to get this to work on an existing pwnagotchi, I really don't want to reflash the whole thing...
Any known plugins to or tweaks to get this working on the evilsocket img?
Latest update built a few days ago, waveshare v4 arrived today
Thank you so much I could not get anything to work, but this video had me complete and running in 5 minutes.
Great to hear!
Brilliant next video please
I ran iwconfig and it seems the network configuration is all messed up. Is there a video on how to setup the network? I'm assuming were using the internal Wi-Fi
Brilliant. Subbed. Please do the next one 👍
Thanks for the sub!
My Lenovo yoga isn’t allowing me to complete the last two minutes of this video ie: the process relegated to accessing the PCAPS in root by placing them into c:\User\”Blackbox” (my computer)\Downloads\pwnagotchi\. Because of Lenovo’s (one drive) whit everything passes through (all files)
Hey I followed this but somehow my Waveshare V4 is displaying white on black rather than black on white. How can I fix that?
What do I press in the boot file to bring up the notepad for configuration
I followed your instructions and it does not find any APs. It looks like everything is working. Any ideas as to why or where to go from here?
Danke, super
for some reason my display isnt turning on? pins are all fine and in. i can ssh in and everything, but display isnt working for my e-ink display :c
Anyone know how to add a second Pwnagotchi and get it connected to the internet? I did get it to ping but got a denial when trying to ssh into it. Thanks
Awesome. New sub
Very strange, I built three Gotchis according to your instructions. All three are working, but one always boots in auto mode when it is connected to the computer via the data port. I have already tried all options, other SD cards, other USB cables, I have tried the SD cards of the other Gotchis, display changed, "kown Hosts" Files deleted - no connection because of the auto mode.
More please.
I am stuck I never got the permission error @15:11 but my pi will show handshakes
when i ls handshake. so at 16:42 I get a error saying temporary failure in name resolution lost connection.
I managed to get v3 working before, trying new sd card new flash and struggling so trying from fresh again if not i mignt try this newer version
Hello, how are you, i've configured my pwnagotchi with your video (thanks by the way) , when i change the cable from the data port to the energy port, it looks around and only says shittt day or i'm bored,i've let it scan all night but it found nothing, do you know what i did wrong?My setup is raspberry pi zero 2w and waveshare v4, thank you.
What the hell am I not doing right? I get no image on the display.
I have a Waveshare v4 E-Ink Display with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2
For anyone that windows wont let install the driver {RNDIS}. you need to go in to CMD and put in [ipconfig /flashdns] and then run line [netsh winsock reset], must be run as admin, after that restart pc. 4 hour of suffering for this answer.
Worked thank you
Glad it helped
Wonder if the orange pi version works.
The only dude to do a full video. Now what else do you know?
lol I'm just a tinkerer who likes tech.
Nice. Any chance of a Linux-based installation? No rndis driver required, but setting up network access to hash files is a pain.
Linux is on my to-do list, although it won't be until next year. I want to cover some more windows based videos first and then will try a Linux guide.
i did everything and when i put it on power and start up it days auto then switches to ai ready. any ideas whats going on?
thank you.
You're welcome
we need more vidssss
After much much messing around and getting the Pi Zero 2 W to work in headless mod, i went back to my Pi Zero W (OG one) and couldn't get it with usual tutorial I had the e-ind display on v3 also and still nothing. I then used the version you had v1.5.6 beta and it worked on this one with my the same toml file what secret black magic is in that image....
I want to know what the difference was I did all the scripts and all kinds of stuff. In any case I am glad it now works thank you! Rekindled my fire for this stuff now!
thanks Brotha
THANKS
I can ping 10.0.0.1 but I cannot ping or access 10.0.0.2. It works on my Mac but not on a Windows 11 machine.
Which do you recommend, using the 32-bit or 64-bit images for the Pi Zero 2 W
Updated Pi's should have no issue running 64-bit. Typically the older boards are limited to the 32-bit.
how do you do this on windows 11 laptop 9:54 please let me know
hi friend, I wanted to ask you for information, when you obviously find handhsake don't you think it's difficult to find the pass, given that the decoding of the hash must be done with a wordlist where the pass used is probably presumed to be there? obviously I don't know if it performs different attacks without wordlist.. can you give me clarification on this, thanks
I use the plugin WPA-Sec to do all the heavy lifting instead of relying on a dictionary attack. It uses a distributed system online vs trying to do it locally.
Great project, now I have 2 😂
I can ping the second one
I CAN NOT SSH into the second one.
Windows is looking for number one and I’m trying to get into number two.
Any help would be appreciated
Many thanks 🤩
nice video but i can't update the driver, can you help me ?
Hey bro, you are master!! Thank you very much for this video. I had problem with my first build, tried many tutorials I found on web aprox. 14 days w/o success. Luckily I discovered your "manual" and using it I solved everything...
Your instruction is detailed and well given. Only an idiot could make a mistake according to it.
Awesome job!!!! TY
when pinging 10.0.0.2 i get the message: Pinging 10.0.0.2 with 32 bytes of data: General failure.
Hi, very good tutorial!
However i'm having some issues, the display (inky phat) does not show that it is booting and i can also not find it in the ports/network section of my pc.
Any idea where the problem might be?
Sorry, I don't know on this one. I only used a Waveshare screen and am not sure what supports inky phat screens. You could try another fork instead of the one I used and see if you have better luck.
When I put pwnagochi on Manu mode it resets stats
Thanks for this, do you mind doing a video with different screens?
That would be a fun idea but would get costly both in time and money.
This worked great, thanks.
An advanced video would be appreciated.
I did create a second video at - czcams.com/video/juaY_fp4q5s/video.html It's nothing super advanced but might help in some other areas.
I saw it about 10min after I posted this. 😁I'll watch it today. I'm really enjoying your content.@@cybercatlabs
Followed this to a T and it doesnt work. Using Waveshare 2.13inch E-Ink Display HAT V4 Version | Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3B/2B/B+/A+/Zero/Zero W/WH/Zero 2W Series Boards | 250x122 Resolution | SPI Interface Supports Partial Refresh with Raspberry Pi Zero WH | WiFi/Bluetooth 4.1 | Bluetooth Low Energy | HAT Compatible | 40-pin Header | CSI Camera Connector | USRT | SPI | I2C | with headers......Anybody get this to work?
hello, I could not find the "USB serial device" under ports (COM & LPT) to update the drivers even though i plugged in the pi.
edit: it works now (idk what the problem was)
A few things to check then is make sure your USB cable is a data supported transfer cable. Make sure you are plugged into the data port on your raspberry pi. If the device still isn't detected try a different USB port on your computer.
If none of that works unplug the USB cord from your Pi, remove the SD card and plug your Pi back in from the data port. Give Windows 30 seconds to a minute to see if it registers your device that way.
Thank you so much for this video.
After seeing this video I feel more confident in doing this Pwnagotchi Project.
This video is the ONLY one I've seen that listed parts in the description & went through the steps without skipping a ton of shit. Plus it's updated for V4 display! That's the ONLY display I could find!
I was trying to follow another video & the guy goes outta nowhere "Now we're gonna open this with Putty". WTF is Putty? Never mentioned WTF it is or does until that moment. Video turned off!
I have a question.
That toml file.
You updated it at the end & I see it's in the links (Thanks again for doing that!).
Can I use that file from the get go or does it matter the order that you've done this video in?
So can I use the updated toml file right in the beginning when I'm naming my Pwnagotchi?
Or do I have to go through the steps in the order that you did?
Sorry I'm learning about this all & I'm so new to this.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I did my very best to make this video as user friendly as possible.
As for the linked .toml file you're good to use that as your starting toml file. It just has a modified line at the bottom that shouldn't effect anything. It just tells the device to save the handshakes into a different folder.
Cut and copy that and place it in the boot/root drive of your SD card like shown in the video and carry on. I believe this means you'll be able to skip the section around 15:50 or something where I show how to copy it from a root folder to the pi user.
If you aren't familiar with doing that it's worth a quick watch for later down the road.
@@cybercatlabs Thanks for the reply.
I'm watching your follow up video to this one where you update that toml file a lot more with plugins etc lol.
I'm waiting for my hardware to get here to go through this all.
I'm a Windows 11 user so hopefully I don't run into the issues in the next video that you warned about.
This is going to be a really good project to get me familiar with so many things. The Flipper Zero got me interested in all of this. Playing with the GPIO projects etc.
I would love to see a video of how to manipulate the pcap file, using hashcat aircrackng or any other tool....
I do have future plans for that. it being the holidays though I'm going to spend time with family and then start videos again in early January most likely.
so i followed eveyrthing, but when i get to the point of plugging it into the power and it is supposed to capture, it does nothing. just keeps searching and searching... any help?
same
Hi! this is a great video , but when i go to the device manager it doesnt show me the device connected , what shoud i do?
Make sure you're using a data cable. Try different ports on your pc as well
If that doesn't work, try plugging it in without the sd card and see if it detects it as like BCM something. I'm not able to currently test, but if it detects it, then it might let you install the drivers that way.
Super !
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks a lot for this video.
I think the pastebin has a spelling error. it is missing the s and the end of bettercap (dot) handshake in row 17.
Oh wow nice catch! I'll update the pastebin. Thanks for pointing this out.
sweeeet thx bruh
did everythng to a t but my screen wont turn on how come?
mine too :(
can someone help me i dont get a post on my screen
What a good battery (small and decent price) to buy ? and how long should i exepct to get out of it?
I use a PiSugar2 myself.
for me, my rasberry pi zero's led blinks and junk but then the led stops blinking but i still dont have a working screen. i have a waveshare v4 just like you, same firmware, used etcher, same config, etc but it still isn't working. Would love some help on this because im about to go insane lol!
I have the same problem...
Yeah same
my display still isn't showing up :(
It was working, until i tried to use filezilla. In my attempt to get filezilla to work i put port22.
Now i cant get it to work. The indicator light turns off .It doesnt do anything .None of the commands work. I tried refreshing, but to no avail. What could be the issue?
I'm a little confused by this to be honest so got some questions. Are you saying that you changed the port on filezilla to 22 and then your device quit working? Can you ping it or even ssh into it you just can't FTP to it? Also if you can ping/ssh the device are you using ftp://address or sftp:// ?
do u know how do i connect on it from the web? like when in browser u see the animations?
Have it plugged into the dataport. Then, on your browser, try typing 10.0.0.2:8080. This video did not cover setting up web access, so your web configuration might not be on.
if you've seen your view count skyrocket....you can thank me....i've watched these videos over and ove and over and over and..... here are a number of parts that i am suck on/ can't understand what is going on. Example; from flashing sd card...you put it into the pi ...then It gets convoluted because there are al sorts of config items mentioned but provided a config file that doesn't have any of those items. So are those other configurations somehow auto populated into the config file? Using command line to do so?
I am going the headless route, attempting to figure out how it is that I will have my Gotchi ace displayed through web connection...again, in the documentation it's discussed to enter all these config lines in the toml file.....do i do that prior to loading the sd card o the pi? Then I see others mentioning that they view the Gotchi faces through wifi and how they put in the generic pssword which needs to be changed...but, at wwhat point do I do this at?
Between this and my attempts at flipper modules...I just kind it interesting with these "gadgets" how literally the same hardware between a number of people and each 1 could require a completely separate manual/k set of directions....it's enough to make your head spin!
couple other confusing parts are were in headless mode it is mentioned to set ui display as false ad then zero mention of whether te following ui type should be in fact it's mentioned to leave the waveshare so that it is displayed in that format...
And you mention having the handshake files outside of root but why? What if I want them in root? What's the benefit of having hem in another folder subdirectory//???
Does the 5.6 beta img also have a working ai because 1.5.5 has alot of issues with that.
The AI does activate or at least says it is but I'm not well versed in whether it's working as it should or just says it is.
