📜 Introduction

🪟 Overview

This project integrates an AutoPcap plugin with a Discord bot to automate the capture and analysis of .pcap files. The AutoPcap plugin enhances Pwngotchi's capabilities by automating the upload of captured packets to Discord via a webhook. Simultaneously, the Discord bot facilitates interaction with Discord servers, specifically managing messages related to pcap files. It extracts, decrypts, and analyzes these files, offering a streamlined workflow for cybersecurity enthusiasts.

📖 Purpose

The primary aim of this project is to simplify the process of capturing, uploading, and analyzing network traffic for educational and cybersecurity purposes. By automating these tasks, users can focus more on analysis rather than manual processing.

📦 Installation

📄 Prerequisites

🧠 For Pwngotchi

• Ensure Pwngotchi is correctly set up and operational without any plugins initially.
• Familiarity with Pwngotchi's operation and configuration.

🤖 For Discord Bot

• Python 3.x installed.
• Access to the Discord Developer Portal.
• Basic knowledge of Discord bot development.
• A Linux environment for running the bot's code due to specific requirements in the cracking function.
  • Kali Linux is recommended for ease of use and availability of necessary tools.
  • Required Linux Packages: airmon-ng, tshark, editcap, pcapfix.

🪜 Steps to Install

🛜 Pwngotchi Side

1. Clone the repository or download the plugin script.
2. Place the AutoPCAP.py script in the /usr/local/share/pwngotchi/custom-plugins/ directory on your SD card.
3. Modify your Pwngotchi configuration file (/etc/pwngotchi/config.toml) to enable custom plugins by adding or updating the line:

   main.custom_plugins = "/usr/local/share/pwngotchi/custom-plugins/"

🤖 Discord Bot Side

1. Clone the repository or download the Discord bot script.
2. Place the Bot.py script in a suitable location on your computer/SD card.
3. Configure the script to start automatically on boot with sudo permissions.

🛠️ Configuration

🛜 Pwngotchi Configuration

Create a config.json file in the plugin's directory with the following structure:

{
  "webhookUrl": "YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE"
}

Replace "YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE" with your actual Discord webhook URL.

🤖 Discord Bot Configuration

Discord Bot Creation

1. Visit the Discord Developer Portal.
2. Create a new application and add a bot to it.
3. Make sure the bot has these permissions when creating it:
   • View Channels
   • Read Message History
   • Send Messages
   • Manage Messages (for clearing reactions)
   • Add Reactions
   • Attach Files
   • Create Invites
4. Make sure all the intents in the intents section are enabled, these are found in the oauth2 section.
5. Make sure the bot is added to the server you want to interact with.
6. Navigate to the bot page and copy the bot token. This token will be used later.

Account Activation

1. Activate your Discord account for developer mode to access channel IDs.
2. Go to your account's settings and navigate to the "Advanced" tab.
3. Enable "Developer Mode" and click "Save Changes".
4. Go to your 2 channels in your server and copy the channel IDs of a channel where pcap files should be sent (by the webhook, for security reasons make it a public restricted channel where only mods can talk in it) and a channel where logs should be sent (For privacy reasons, this should be a private channel).

Configuration

1. Update the api.json file with your bot's token, channel IDs, and other necessary configurations as per the instructions below.
2. Replace placeholders in the code with actual usernames and passwords as needed. Ensure to follow the format specified in the comments.
3. The bot's behavior and settings are configurable through the api.json file located in the project directory. Here's what you need to know:
   • Token: Your bot's token obtained from the Discord Developer Portal.
   • Channel IDs: Two channel IDs are required:
     • channel_id_(for_pcaps): The ID of the channel where pcap files should be sent.
     • channel_id_(for_logs): The ID of the channel where logs should be sent.
   • Webhooks Username: A list of usernames that the bot should respond to. Include #0000 for webhook usernames.
   • Log Using Debug: A boolean value indicating whether to log using debug level, for production purposes set this to false.

Running the Bot

1. Ensure you have Python installed on your system.
2. Install required Python packages from the requirements.txt file using pip.
3. Run the bot in a Linux environment with sudo privileges for cracking purposes.

🚦 Usage

🛜 Pwngotchi Usage

After installation and configuration, the AutoPcap plugin will automatically capture .pcap files and upload them to Discord upon detecting handshakes. The plugin logs all activities, aiding in tracking progress and troubleshooting.

The plugin is able to upload pcap files only if connected to the internet. To do that follow this guide.

🤖 Discord Bot Usage

Ensure the bot is running in a Linux environment with sudo privileges. Users can interact with the bot by sending messages in the configured channels, triggering responses based on message content and settings.

⚙️ Bot Reaction Glossary

The bot will generate many types of reactions to respond to various messages that include the pcaps uploaded. As part of its job, if an error occurs a reaction will be generated, and if a pcap has already been cracked, a different reaction will be generated. Here they are:-

⛔ Reaction

The bot is not running in a linux environment.

👍 Reaction

The bot successfully cracked and uploaded the pcap file.

👎 Reaction

The bot failed to crack the pcap file.

❔ Reaction

An unknown return occurred in cracking process

❌ Reaction

An error with python occurred, cracking failed

🚫 Reaction

An error occurred with discord, processing failed, usually relating to permissions, this is an exception for HTTP errors

⚠️ Reaction

An unknown exception was caught, an error that handles the discord bot, occurs if the error is not related to HTTP errors

⁉️ Reaction

The whole script failed without any handling, this is unexpected and shouldn't happen

👀 Reaction

The bot is handling the pcap currently, will later give it a different reaction

🐛 Troubleshooting and Support

🛜 Pwngotchi Side Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, check the following:

• Ensure your config.json file is correctly formatted and contains a valid Discord webhook URL.
• Verify that Pwngotchi is configured to use custom plugins.
• Check the plugin logs for any error messages.

🤖 Discord Bot Side Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, check the following:

• Ensure your api.json file is correctly formatted and contains valid channel IDs.
• Verify that the bot is properly configured.
• Check the bot logs for any error messages.
• Ensure the bot is running in a Linux environment with sudo privileges.
• Make sure the bot has proper permissions in the server.

💬 Common Issues

Here are some common issues and solutions to help you get back on track:-

🔃 Plugin Not Loading (Pwngotchi Side)

• Ensure the plugin is placed in the correct directory as specified in your Pwngotchi configuration file.
• Verify that the config.toml file has been correctly updated to include the path to custom plugins.

⏱️ Discord Upload Fails (Both)

• Check your internet connection to ensure it's stable.
• Verify the webhook URL/token in your config.json file is correct and active.
• Ensure the Discord channel associated with the webhook allows file uploads.

📜 Log File Issues (Both)

• If the log file grows too large, consider reducing the max_size parameter or implementing a log rotation mechanism.

🔌 Plugin Configuration Issues (Pwngotchi Side)

• Ensure your config.json file is correctly formatted and contains a valid Discord webhook URL.
• Verify that Pwngotchi is configured to use custom plugins.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

📶 Can I use multiple webhook URLs?

• Currently, the plugin supports one webhook URL. Modifications can be made to support multiple URLs.

🔃 How do I update the plugin?

• Replace the existing AutoPcap.py script with the new version in the /usr/local/share/pwngotchi/custom-plugins/ directory. Restart Pwngotchi to apply changes.

⚙️ Is there a way to filter .pcap files?

• Customize the on_handshake function to filter .pcap files based on criteria such as file size, SSID, or timestamp.
