Notify Me → The Pwnagotchi Hat is an all-in-one expansion board designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero, purpose-built for Pwnagotchi deployments and wardriving. It integrates a UPS, dual-band AC WiFi with monitor mode and packet injection, GPS with PPS support, a USB hub, and a hardware RTC — all in a single stackable board. An optional 18650 battery and antenna backplate makes field deployment effortless, turning your Pi Zero into a fully self-contained wireless intelligence platform. Key Features UPS & Power Management Charge + 5V output for Pi Zero Simultaneous charging and 5V output to Pi Zero JST 2.0 connector for LiPo / Li-ion polymer battery 18650 battery support via optional backplate (up to 4 hours runtime) Battery status readable via I²C Dedicated Pwnagotchi plugin provided Stable power for uninterrupted field operation UPS · JST 2.0 · 18650 · I²C · Pwnagotchi plugin GPS with PPS GPS + BeiDou or GPS + GLONASS Dual-constellation: GPS + BeiDou or GPS + GLONASS Active GPS antenna support PPS (Pulse Per Second) output for precision timing Connected via USB Serial — Pi Zero UART stays free Wardriving location logging out of the box GPS · BeiDou · GLONASS · PPS AC Dual-Band WiFi Same chip as ALFA AWUS036ACM MediaTek MT7612U chipset (ALFA AWUS036ACM equivalent) Monitor mode and packet injection supported Dual-band: 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz 802.11ac Bluetooth with onboard antenna Ideal for Pwnagotchi AI training and wardriving Monitor mode · Injection · Dual-band · BT 4-Port USB Hub GPS + WiFi internal · 2 ports exposed 4-port internal USB hub GPS and AC WiFi each occupy one internal port Remaining two ports exposed as USB-A and USB-C Expand with additional USB peripherals 4-port · USB-A · USB-C RTC with Rechargeable Battery Timekeeping + scheduled tasks Onboard rechargeable RTC battery and charging circuit Accurate timekeeping without network sync Supports scheduled tasks: timed power on/off Ideal for automated field deployments RTC · Rechargeable · Scheduled on/off 18650 Battery & Antenna Backplate Stackable field deployment Dedicated backplate for 18650 battery mounting Antenna mounting points for external antennas Stackable design — attaches directly beneath the Hat Enables fully self-contained portable deployment 18650 · Antenna mount · Stackable ℹ️ GPS is connected via USB Serial, so the Pi Zero's hardware UART remains available for serial console access — no conflicts with your existing setup. Use Cases Pwnagotchi AI-driven WPA handshake capture Full hardware support for Pwnagotchi out of the box UPS plugin reports battery to Pwnagotchi UI AC WiFi for faster handshake capture across 2.4 & 5 GHz RTC keeps time synced between deployments GPS logs capture locations automatically Pwnagotchi · WPA · AI · Handshake Wardriving GPS-tagged WiFi mapping Dual-band AC WiFi scans 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz networks GPS logs precise coordinates for every access point PPS output enables high-accuracy time correlation Long battery life with 18650 backplate Runs headless and unattended in vehicles or bags Wardriving · GPS mapping · Dual-band Specifications Compatible SBC Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W / Zero 2 W WiFi Chipset MediaTek MT7612U (same as ALFA AWUS036ACM) WiFi Bands 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi Capabilities Monitor mode, packet injection Bluetooth Onboard antenna GPS Constellation GPS + BeiDou or GPS + GLONASS GPS Antenna Active antenna supported GPS PPS Supported GPS Interface USB Serial (Pi Zero UART remains free) UPS Output 5V to Pi Zero, simultaneous charge + output Battery Connection JST 2.0 for LiPo / polymer battery, or 18650 via backplate Battery Runtime Up to 4 hours with 18650 battery Battery Monitoring I²C interface, Pwnagotchi plugin included USB Hub 4-port; GPS + WiFi internal; USB-A + USB-C exposed RTC Battery Onboard rechargeable cell with charging circuit RTC Functions Timekeeping, scheduled power on/off Backplate (optional) 18650 battery mount + antenna mount, stackable 📡 WiFi Note: The AC WiFi module uses the MT7612U chipset, the same chip found in the ALFA AWUS036ACM adapter — a trusted choice in the security research community for its reliable monitor mode and injection support under Linux. The Pwnagotchi Hat brings together everything you need for serious wireless field work — UPS power management, precision GPS, dual-band AC WiFi with monitor mode and injection, a 4-port USB hub, and a hardware RTC with scheduled wake — all on a single board that stacks directly onto a Raspberry Pi Zero. Pair it with the 18650 backplate and you have a fully self-contained, pocket-deployable platform for Pwnagotchi or wardriving, ready to run anywhere.
