🐱 Custom — built for this fork (not in the original firmware).

A pwnagotchi-style WiFi hunter with a cat-face UI — the flagship app of this fork. It passively watches 2.4 GHz WiFi, hops channels, discovers access points and their clients, and captures WPA handshakes to the SD card. A mood face and live stats react to what it finds.

Controls

  • A — Start / Pause hunting
  • short B — menu (Mode, Handshakes list)
  • hold B — exit
  • hold Up+DownOn-Device Screenshots to SD

What it does

  • Promiscuous sniff + channel hop across the 2.4 GHz band.
  • AP / client discovery — tracks access points and associated stations.
  • WPA handshake (EAPOL) capture → written as .pcap (LINKTYPE 105) to /handshakes/ on the SD card, ready for offline analysis.
  • Opt-in deauth — off by default; when enabled, sends broadcast deauth to encourage a client to reconnect so a handshake can be captured.
  • Mood face + stat strip — the cat's expression and the on-screen counters reflect activity; the play-timer counts only while actively hunting.

Notes

  • Passive by default. Deauth and handshake capture are opt-in — only use them on networks you own or are authorised to test.
  • The app's radio code only runs while the app is open; nothing transmits at boot.
  • Roadmap: an XP / leveling system (persisted to SD) is planned so the cat levels up from captures — see Releases.
