Penetration Testing with Raspberry Pi - Second Edition

By: Michael McPhee, Jason Beltrame

Overview of this book

This book will show you how to utilize the latest credit card sized Raspberry Pi 3 and create a portable, low-cost hacking tool using Kali Linux 2. You’ll begin by installing and tuning Kali Linux 2 on Raspberry Pi 3 and then get started with penetration testing. You will be exposed to various network security scenarios such as wireless security, scanning network packets in order to detect any issues in the network, and capturing sensitive data. You will also learn how to plan and perform various attacks such as man-in-the-middle, password cracking, bypassing SSL encryption, compromising systems using various toolkits, and many more. Finally, you’ll see how to bypass security defenses and avoid detection, turn your Pi 3 into a honeypot, and develop a command and control system to manage a remotely-placed Raspberry Pi 3. By the end of this book you will be able to turn Raspberry Pi 3 into a hacking arsenal to leverage the most popular open source toolkit, Kali Linux 2.0.

This can certainly hurt not only our reputation as a penetration tester, but can also jeopardize the mission. Reports themselves are what our customer sees as our product. It should come as no surprise that we should then take great care to ensure they are well organized, informative, accurate, and most importantly, meet the customer's objectives. We should also ensure we handle this phase with care. The...
