About Bettercap
Bettercap is the Swiss Army knife for WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, wireless HID hijacking, and Ethernet networks reconnaissance and MITM attacks. It provides a modular, portable, and easily extensible architecture with interactive and scriptable sessions. Bettercap supports network sniffing, ARP spoofing, DNS spoofing, WiFi deauthentication, Bluetooth device scanning, HID attacks, and much more through its JavaScript-based scripting engine.
About Pwnagotchi
Pwnagotchi is an AI-powered WiFi auditing companion that runs on Raspberry Pi hardware and uses deep reinforcement learning to optimize its WPA handshake capture strategy over time. Built on top of bettercap, it passively and actively collects WiFi handshakes from nearby networks while displaying a Tamagotchi-inspired face that reflects its current mood and learning state. Wireless security researchers and hobbyists use Pwnagotchi as a portable, always-on WiFi audit tool that improves its effectiveness the more it operates in a given environment. The device learns from its surroundings using an A2C (Advantage Actor-Critic) algorithm, adapting its deauthentication and association strategies to maximize handshake captures for later offline cracking.
