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.

Chapter 1. Choosing a Pen Test Platform

In this chapter, we'll take a look at the hardware and software options available to us to build a low cost, small footprint, yet powerful penetration testing platform. We will go into some of the considerations we weighed, as well as why we chose the Raspberry Pi 3 as our hardware platform and the Kali Linux as the software distribution to build our penetration testing platform.

We will go through the steps of getting the hardware setup and the software installed so that we'll have a fully functional Raspberry Pi 3 with Kali Linux 2.0 running on it.

Most people get the operating system installed and immediately start playing around with the tools; however, we recommend not doing that. Many of the problems people experience can easily be corrected by following the setup and best practices covered in this chapter. These best practices include both pre-installation and post-installation modifications. We will go into some of the best practice tasks to be completed before we jump into the swing of things.

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • Hardware options and why the Pi
  • Software option and why Kali
  • Purchasing a Raspberry Pi
  • Assembling a Raspberry Pi
  • Installing Kali Linux
  • Combining Kali Linux and Raspberry Pi
  • Cloning the Raspberry Pi SD card
  • Avoiding common problems
