Probenpwn improvements.
move toml reading by standard function on_config_changed()
removed unnecessary _agent and _ui => Those variables were already availables
properly exit watchdog loop (_watchdog_thread_running + join) => The plugin was waiting for the never coming threads end.
retrieve debug log path from config => Cleaner if this files is moved in conf for some reason (new version, new plateform, etc.)
simplify name changing => pwnagotchi's name is in main.name retrieved in on_config_changed() and the old one could mess the displayed name is another plugin wanted to change it.
remove sudo to restart as pwnagotchi is already root
shoutout to fmatray
Realistic MAC Address Generation
Improvement: The updated version uses a more realistic MAC address by incorporating an OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) and randomizing the last three bytes within a restricted range.
Flexible Randomization Interval
Improvement: The randomization interval is now flexible, varying between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Randomizing the interval adds unpredictability, making the MAC address changes harder to detect. This increases stealth.
Improved MAC Randomization for Monitor Mode
Improvement: When the Wi-Fi interface is in monitor mode, the plugin temporarily switches to managed mode to change the MAC address and restores monitor mode afterward.
Updated UI Handling
Improvement: The UI is now updated more effectively by directly modifying the value attribute of the UI components in on_ui_update().
Better Error Handling and Logging
Improvement: The plugin now has enhanced error handling for subprocess calls, such as bringing the interface down or changing the MAC address. More detailed logs are provided for different stages.
Initial MAC Address Randomization
Improvement: The plugin now performs an initial MAC address randomization when it is loaded (self.randomize_mac() in on_loaded()). This ensures that the device's MAC address is randomized as soon as the plugin starts, providing enhanced privacy from the start.
Time-Dependent MAC Randomization
Improvement: The next MAC address change time is now dynamically calculated based on the random interval. This ensures the MAC address change schedule follows the random interval, making it harder to predict.

Dynamic Attack Strategy: The plugin now adjusts the aggressiveness of its attacks based on real-time performance, leading to better handling of different APs and more successful attacks.
Enhanced Logging and Feedback: The plugin logs success and failure rates for handshakes, providing clear insight into its effectiveness. The added performance stats help in tuning attack strategies over time.
Improved Robustness: The watchdog is more resilient, with checks for additional errors (e.g., missing wifi.interface) and the ability to restart the service when necessary.
Adaptability: By adjusting the attack parameters based on success rates, the plugin can adapt its behavior, making it more intelligent and resource-efficient.
Overall, this version is more intelligent and self-correcting. It can now analyze its own performance and adjust its strategies dynamically, leading to better overall efficiency and fewer failed attacks over time. It’s also more robust in dealing with errors, ensuring smoother operation in case of interface or service failures.

New Enhancements in v2.0.2:
1. Dynamic Status Messages:
Motivational Quotes: Displayed when the user levels up in age or strength (e.g., "You're a WiFi wizard in the making!").
Inactivity Messages: Shown when the agent undergoes decay due to inactivity (e.g., "Time to wake up, you're rusting!").
These dynamic messages are randomly chosen and help keep the user engaged, providing a personalized experience as they reach milestones or experience inactivity.
2. Quests System:
The plugin now includes a quests system where the agent can complete tasks for rewards.
Example quest: "Collect 10 WPA3 handshakes" with a reward of "⭐ Extra Star!"
Example quest: "Survive 100 epochs without decaying" with a reward of "🛡️ Resilience Badge."
Quests provide additional goals beyond epochs and handshakes, making the plugin more engaging and challenging for users.
3. Improved Age and Strength Titles:
The titles for both age and strength have been revised to be more interesting and engaging:
Age Titles: "Neon Spawn," "WiFi Outlaw," "Data Raider," etc.
Strength Titles: "Fleshbag," "Deauth King," "Handshake Hunter," etc.
These titles make the progression more varied and fun, allowing users to see their growth in a more exciting way.
4. Updated UI with Quests:
The UI now includes a section for quests, showing users their quest progress directly on the screen.
Completed Quests: Shows rewards for finished quests.
Active Quest Progress: Tracks how close the user is to completing their quests.
5. Quest Progress Tracking:
The plugin now tracks quest progress, showing completion percentages (e.g., "10% complete" for a quest based on handshakes or epochs).
Quests are saved as completed once the user achieves the required milestones, and rewards are automatically awarded.
6. Enhanced Data Management for Quests:
The plugin saves and loads the status of completed quests to ensure progress is maintained between reboots or sessions. This includes:
The completed quests list.
Other progress data such as epochs, handshakes, and network points.
This ensures that the user's quest progress is persistent, providing a more stable and reliable experience across sessions.
7. Updated Logging and Milestones:
The logging system has been maintained, and now includes milestone tracking for key intervals (e.g., every 100 epochs).
Milestones trigger UI updates with faces and messages to keep the agent engaged as they reach new achievements.
The plugin now includes advanced features like dynamic tuning, attack attempt tracking, a watchdog recovery system, improved logging, channel sanitization, and better error handling. These changes make the plugin more reliable, flexible, and effective in performing aggressive Wi-Fi probing and attacks.
What's New in Probenpwn 1.1.0:
Dynamic Parameter Tuning:
The dynamic_attack_delay method now adjusts the attack delay based not only on the client’s signal strength but also on the number of previous attack attempts for a given AP (Access Point). As the number of attacks increases, the delay between attacks decreases slightly, making the attacks more aggressive while preventing the system from overloading.
The delay is further randomized with random.uniform(0.9, 1.1) to prevent detection by automated systems that might look for consistent attack patterns.
Watchdog Thread for Recovery:
The plugin introduces a watchdog thread that periodically checks for the presence of the wlan0mon interface, which is essential for monitoring Wi-Fi networks. If this interface is missing (likely due to a Wi-Fi adapter crash), the watchdog attempts to restart the Pwnagotchi system automatically by running a systemctl restart command, providing a more robust recovery mechanism.
Tracking and Limiting Attack Attempts:
The plugin now tracks the number of attack attempts for each AP using a dictionary (attack_attempts). If an AP has been attacked more than a certain number of times, the delay for subsequent attacks is adjusted to prevent excessive and repetitive attacking, reducing the risk of detection.
This approach helps balance the aggressiveness of the attacks with performance considerations, ensuring that the plugin remains effective over extended periods.
Tracking Successful Handshakes:
The plugin now also tracks the number of successful handshakes captured per AP with the success_counts dictionary. Each time a handshake is successfully captured, the count for that AP is incremented. This can be useful for monitoring attack success rates and potentially adjusting attack strategies based on success frequency.
Improved Device Handling:
The handling of new and updated APs and clients is more refined. The plugin ensures that each device (AP or client) is only attacked if it's not on the whitelist. Devices are also tracked more effectively with better time management, ensuring that only recently seen devices are targeted.
The track_recent method tracks both APs and clients, with more granular control over when devices should be removed from the recent list based on activity.
Channel Sanitization:
The plugin includes a new sanitize_channel_list method, which ensures that only valid Wi-Fi channels (1-14 for 2.4 GHz and 36-165 for 5 GHz) are included in the scan list. This prevents attempts to scan invalid channels and ensures more efficient use of scanning resources.
Enhanced Logging and Error Handling:
The plugin now includes more detailed logging, especially around the dynamic attack delay, attack attempts, and handshakes. The logging makes it easier to monitor the plugin's behavior and diagnose issues.
It also improves error handling by catching and logging exceptions in key methods, ensuring that the plugin can gracefully handle unexpected issues without crashing.
More aggressive, simultaneous attacks thanks to multithreading, which allows you to target multiple APs and clients at once.
Dynamic attack delays based on signal strength, ensuring more efficient attacks and better targeting of weak or strong signals.
Greater handshake capture success rate through dual attacks (deauth + association) and a refined attack strategy that adapts to real-time conditions.
Full control over your attack strategy, including the ability to exclude specific networks and clients via whitelists.
Enhanced logging for better tracking of every handshake capture and attack attempt, providing deeper insights into your progress.
Added age_checkpoint method in plugin is a function that is called during the on_epoch event, which occurs periodically as your Pwnagotchi goes through its training or operating cycles. The purpose of this method is likely to trigger a status update or event notification when epochs are met.
With Version 2.0.1, your Pwnagotchi can now level up in style with achievements, new titles, and a decay system that keeps things exciting! Update now to track your progress and show off your milestones. 🎮🔥
