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

Running Raspberry Pi on your PC with QEMU emulator


Sometimes, we may want to test out some Raspberry Pi images, but we don't have the Raspberry Pi readily available to install the new image on. Also, maybe we want to make sure that a particular security tool functions correctly or that the graphical interface is something we like without re-installing ou Pi. Well, that is where QEMU comes in.

Quick EMUlator (QEMU) is an emulator that lets us mimic many different processors and load many different operating systems on another operating system. In our case, we mimicked the ARM-based processor in the Raspberry Pi and were successfully able to load and run multiple operating systems just like we would have done on a real Raspberry Pi. Emulation is not without its problems. Sometimes, operating systems would not load or would have performance issues, crash, stop working, and so on, even when they had absolutely no issues on the real Raspberry Pi hardware. Because of these issues, our mileage...
