In this episode, Jayden Traufler and Cameron Birkland join the crew to demonstrate how this deceptively cute device can passively capture encrypted Wi-Fi credentials from any network in range, autonomously gather handshakes, share intelligence with other Pwnagotchis, and operate completely under the radar from conference floors to airplane cabins in ways that might surprise you.  Key Topics Covered:  How the Pwnagotchi captures Wi-Fi handshakes through deauthentication attacks  Why WPA3 networks are immune (and why most networks still aren't using it) Building your own Pwnagotchi vs buying a Flipper Zero with Wi-Fi dev board Real defense strategies beyond "just turn off your Wi-Fi" The legal gray areas of passive Wi-Fi monitoring  Conference horror stories and the 600-handshake airplane incident Whether you're a security professional looking to understand emerging threats or someone curious about DIY hacking tools, this episode delivers practical insights you can use to protect your networks today. The Pwnagotchi proves that the most dangerous attacks often come in the most innocent packages.  Don't let your organization become the next victim of passive Wi-Fi attacks.
