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.

Preface

Overclocking


Overclocking the Raspberry Pi can improve the performance, but we risk greatly reducing the life of the hardware and will certainly void any warranties we may have through our kit provider. Given that the Raspberry Pi 3 is a much more powerful platform with a 1 GHz+ quad-core processor, there is likely little reason to overclock our Raspberry Pi 3 for use in penetration testing. If we find we need more processing horsepower, we are in most cases better off using higher-powered platforms for the workload and leveraging the Raspberry Pi 3 for remote sensing and collection. Either way, we should be fully aware of this risk before proceeding.

Note that the Raspberry Pi 3 still is not officially supported for overclocking, third-party tools and procedures (search engines can be a huge help here) such as those provided at http://www.jackenhack.com/raspberry-pi-3-overclocking/ will be needed to run at higher clock speeds.

Note

Overclocking will require more power from the Raspberry Pi...
