Pwnagotchi is a modern day take on the Tamagatchi of the 90s, but with a Cyber Security twist. This digital pet derives his happiness by sniffing WPA and WPA2 handshakes which can then be run through hashcat to guess the password. Two or more Pwnagotchis in range of each other will communicate and split the workload. The Pwnagotchi can also send its stats back to the internet to rank your Pwnagotchi against other Pwnagotchis from around the world.

The Pwnagotchi uses Advantage Actor Critic (A2C) Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies to make decisions.
