In this chapter, we covered the various hardware options available as well as why we chose the Raspberry Pi 3. We discussed the various kits that are available, the benefits of buying kits, and their differences. We also talked about the various software platforms out there and why we chose Kali Linux as our software platform of choice.

Next, we covered our approach to getting started with Kali Linux and the Raspberry Pi 3. This included getting the hardware prepped, installing software on the microSD card, and the basics of setting up Kali Linux to ensure its security. At this point, we should have a fully functioning and up-to-date Kali Linux installation running on our Raspberry Pi 3, and be ready to start diving into the tools that will turn this computer into a powerful pen-testing platform.

In the next chapter, we will start diving into some of the essential tools that will allow us to access and use the Raspberry Pi 3 as the pen-testing box. This will include several methods we can use to remotely and securely access the Raspberry Pi 3, configuring various types of interfaces, and setting up a command and control server.
