Ah ok cool. So pwnagotchi is intended more as a teaching tool or a POC pentest, as opposed to an actual pentest. Am I understanding correctly?

Yeah, pretty much. Although I'm sure plenty of people use it for malicious purposes, since it's more convenient than carrying around a laptop, or for building out/competing on the opwngrid.

It's definitely not meant for commercial use, if that's what you're asking.

Less for commercial use, and more for a true pentest of your own network. Well, I guess also for commercial use, for those professional pentesters out there, but I wasn't thinking of them when I asked :/

This whole gamified thing sounds pretty awesome, to be honest, and I'm intrigued.
