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

Discovering Raspberry Pwn


Raspberry Pwn is from the same team (PwnieExpresshttps://www.pwnieexpress.com/) that brings us some cool projects, such as the Pwn Pad, Blue Hydra, and Pwn Phone. The Debian-based distribution includes our favorite tools such as SET, Wireshark, dnswalk, and various wireless testing applications. We consider it an alternative to Kali Linux containing many similar tools, but we should note that it is not being as actively maintained and evolved as Kali and other distributions. Again, we're offering choices here.

The installation process of Raspberry Pwn is different than a full distribution providing an ARM image. This is because Raspberry Pwn basically sits on top of the Raspbian operating system.

Let's look at how to install and run Raspberry Pwn using the following steps:

  1. We need to first download a basic Debian Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) distribution found at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/. These images are constantly being updated, so at the time...
