In this chapter, we covered options for purchasing hardware and how to assemble a Raspberry Pi. We discussed recommended hardware accessories such as microSD cards and Wi-Fi adapters so that you are able to complete the steps given in this book.

Once we covered purchasing the proper hardware, we walked you through our best practice procedure for installing Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi. This included the detailed procedure to format and upgrade Kali Linux as well as the common problems that we ran into with possible remediation tips. At the end of this chapter, you should have a fully working Kali Linux installation, updated software, and everything running on your Raspberry Pi for a basic setup.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the advantage of using a Raspberry Pi as a penetration testing platform. We will cover how to optimize Kali Linux applications for the Raspberry Pi as well as how to remotely control and manage your Raspberry Pi as a Kali Linux attack platform.
