The Neurolyzer plugin introduces a significant enhancement to the Pwnagotchi platform, aiming to augment the device's stealth and privacy capabilities. Its main function is to automate the randomization of the MAC address for the designated Wi-Fi interface. This action helps make the Pwnagotchi less visible to network monitoring systems, thereby decreasing its digital footprint within the networks it scans. The plugin offers several noteworthy features:
Varied Operational Modes: It introduces different modes of operation, including a 'stealth' mode. When activated, this mode triggers periodic changes to the device's MAC address, effectively masking its identity. This is particularly useful for operating within networks that are under strict surveillance.
Adjustable MAC Address Change Interval: The plugin allows users to customize how frequently the MAC address changes, providing control over the degree of stealth based on the user's needs.
User Interface Enhancements: Leveraging Pwnagotchi's existing UI framework, the Neurolyzer plugin offers immediate visual feedback on the device's screen. It displays the current mode of operation ('stealth' or 'normal') and the time until the next MAC address change. These interface elements are adjustable, enabling users to customize their display positions as needed.
Wi-Fi Interface Customization: Users have the flexibility to define which Wi-Fi interface the plugin should manage, catering to devices with multiple or unconventional interface names.
Seamless Activation/Deactivation: The plugin assesses its activation status upon loading, based on the configured settings, and commences its functions automatically if enabled. This feature allows for a hassle-free transition to stealth mode.
Comprehensive Logging: The Neurolyzer plugin meticulously logs key events and potential errors during its operation. This aids in monitoring the plugin's performance and simplifying troubleshooting processes.
In essence, the Neurolyzer plugin significantly bolsters the Pwnagotchi's capability for stealthy operations, ensuring users can engage in ethical hacking and network exploration with an enhanced level of privacy. Through its thoughtful integration with the Pwnagotchi ecosystem, the plugin elevates the device's functionality, aligning with the objectives of privacy-conscious users and ethical hackers.

A plugin that captures ADS-B data from aircraft using RTL-SDR and logs it. a RTL-SDR Dongle is required to run plugin
- Connect the RTL-SDR Dongle
First, connect your RTL-SDR dongle to one of the USB ports on your Raspberry Pi (the hardware running Pwnagotchi). Ensure the dongle is properly seated and secure. 2. Access the Pwnagotchi Terminal
To configure the RTL-SDR and test rtl_adsb, you'll need to access the terminal on your Pwnagotchi. You can do this in several ways:
Directly via Keyboard and Monitor: If you have a monitor and keyboard connected to your Raspberry Pi, you can access the terminal directly.
SSH: If your Pwnagotchi is connected to your network, you can SSH into it. The default username is usually pi, and the password is raspberry, unless you've changed it. The IP address can be found on the Pwnagotchi screen or through your router's DHCP client list.
- Install RTL-SDR Drivers and Utilities
Once you're in the terminal, you'll likely need to install the RTL-SDR drivers and the rtl_adsb utility. Pwnagotchi is based on Raspbian, so you can use apt-get to install these packages. Run the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr
- Verify RTL-SDR Dongle Recognition
After installation, verify that the RTL-SDR dongle is recognized by the system:
rtl_test
This command checks if the RTL-SDR dongle is properly recognized. You should see output indicating the detection of the dongle. If there are errors or the dongle is not detected, ensure it's properly connected or try reconnecting it.
- Run rtl_adsb
Now, try running rtl_adsb to see if you can receive ADS-B signals:
rtl_adsb
This command starts the ADS-B reception. If your RTL-SDR is set up correctly and there are aircraft in range, you should see ADS-B messages appearing in the terminal.
Add adsbsniffer.py to /usr/local/share/pwnagotchi/installed-plugins and /usr/local/share/pwnagotchi/availaible-plugins
In /etc/pwnagotchi/config.toml file add:
main.plugins.adsbsniffer.enabled = true main.plugins.adsbsniffer.timer = 60 main.plugins.adsbsniffer.aircraft_file = "/root/handshakes/adsb_aircraft.json" main.plugins.adsbsniffer.adsb_x_coord = 120 main.plugins.adsbsniffer.adsb_y_coord = 50
