Pawcap

Autonomous WiFi handshake capture tool for Raspberry Pi. Scans nearby networks, captures WPA/WPA2 handshakes via PMKID, deauth, and passive methods, and learns from failures! Alt text

Features

  • Multi-strategy capture -- PMKID, deauthentication + 4-way handshake, and passive listening
  • Smart targeting -- Scoring algorithm prioritizes networks by signal, clients, encryption, and past results
  • Persistent learning -- Tracks successes and failures per network across reboots, decays over time
  • Dual-band support -- Simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz scanning with two adapters
  • Bonus captures -- Automatically saves handshakes from non-target networks on the same channel
  • Real-time web UI -- Dashboard with live stats, activity feed, theme customization, and device controls
  • GPS tagging -- Captures tagged with coordinates when a USB GPS module is connected
  • Battery monitoring -- Geekworm X728 UPS HAT support with capacity, voltage, and health reporting
  • Whitelist protection -- Your own networks are never targeted
  • Blacklist with retrace -- Failed networks are deprioritized, then retried on alternate bands
  • Social mode -- Discovers nearby Pawcap and Pwnagotchi devices via beacon frames
  • Pack mode -- Works in tandem with other Pawcap devices from your friends list to scan for and share handshakes.
  • Organic mode -- Randomized naturalistic behavior breaks between scan cycles
  • Dog personality -- Configurable device name, ASCII faces, moods, and activity messages

Requirements

  • Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB+ RAM) or Raspberry Pi 02W
  • USB WiFi adapter with monitor mode and packet injection support
  • Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit)
