In this educational demo, I use my Pwnagotchi, which has Aircrack-ng installed onboard. It can either listen passively to capture handshakes or actively perform deauthentication attacks to force a handshake.

As soon as it gets a handshake, it automatically starts running a wordlist attack using a small list I created with common Dutch passwords.

With a Bluetooth connection on the go, I can even see the password in real-time once it’s cracked.

This shows how even a small wordlist can expose weak passwords. Demonstrating the need for strong, unique Wi-Fi credentials.

Tools like this help test network security in a safe, controlled environment.
