The Pwnagotchi Project: Windows Internet Connection Sharing with PowerShell 

I'm stuck Windows 11 of course (sad face emoji): An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040201) + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [win_connection_share.ps1], COMException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,win_connection_share.ps1

Try this: Go to "network connections", right click on your primary wifi/ethernet adapter go to>Settings>Sharing, and then select the RNDIS network. Please let me know if that works or not. Windows 11 may be ignoring that command causing this issue. I got that info from this link here: github.com/evilsocket/pwnagotchi/issues/431

Hey! Ran the new image and it worked good for a bit. W11 was giving me issues again with the powerscript. I found three possible fixes for issues that come up. If there is lag or issues with GUI or powershell -Run this in powershell as admin: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Connectivity issues -Under network and internet settings > advanced network settings > network reset Other connectivity issues -Control panel > Windows Tools > services > scroll down to internet sharing connection and restart Inverted color -Trying out this new image my screen became inverted, and I couldn't change it with the config.toml file. Had to go into the .py file and switch the color values. Other issues I'm trying to fix -After powershell script ran, screen went back to inverted -It worked initially but then froze up, was able to ping google then it stopped -When plugged in the data port, the web gui stopped loading, windows gui froze completely until I unplugged -When I plugged into the power port it still booted up inverted, it crashed and restarted multiple times but is running now Going to troubleshoot a bit more and post any fixes or insights

YOU MUST DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU DISCONNECT/RECONNECT YOUR PWNAGOTCHI FROM WINDOWS PC.

Mine holds connection without needing to redo it every time. @@lyoko111

It really is a fun project. Doing different displays would be fun may be too costly at the moment. I am however working on the USB antennas one. Running tests for two currently.

It sure is! I usually dabble in privilege escalation and iOS tweak development so this is a refreshing project and quite the rabbit hole. I’ve had some progress with the ALFA Network AWUS036ACS Wide-Coverage Dual-Band USB antenna . You mind sharing which antennas you’re working on currently?

Also, the display aspect is pretty straightforward when you use SPI interface from the research/testing I’ve done.

ALFAs are my go to.

Also... you can solder an antenna adapter to the Raspberry and use the one you want without using a USB Raspberry zero w1 is a U-shaped contact (two longs 1 in mid-small) above the DATA PORT. Raspberry zero w2 is a C-shaped contact (two longs 1 in mid-small) beside the DATA PORT. check it out, maybe we can have some fun :)

I'm just a tinkerer but I appreciate the kind words!

Hopefully it helps!

Thank you, it works!!

That worked for me too!!! I’ve been trying to get it to work for like a week. This finally did it!

Had the problem, but I did that and it resolved. Thank you. (Windows 10)

When you run the second command, do you now pick the hotspot as the internet adapter?

@@Gatherel no, the hotspot is only there to trick the windows to let the connection happen.

Great to hear!

Are you using Windows 11?

Added to my notes for potential future video. Thanks!

Yea windows gets a bit sus when you try to run PowerShell scripts from main directory.

Windows or Mac?

Same here, windows...

Powershell issue with win_connection_share I was trying to run from c:\pi. it doesn't seem to want to run from here. As soon as I moved it to the downloads folder everything worked

​@@gvieiraleaodid you figure it out?

@@DeathSmoke187 In my Desktop runing Windows dont work, but in my laptop that's ok. 😅 In Linux on Desktop works too
