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

Setting up a 3G or 4G modem


We can use 3G or 4G USB modem cards with Kali Linux and connect to our Raspberry Pi 3 over mobile wireless networks for stealthy remote access. Each card is manufactured a little differently, and therefore the setup may vary based on the type of cellular card, region of operation, and service provider. There is plenty of information on legitimate connectivity uses available online, but we have had good luck with USB-enabled modems, such as the various MiFi devices available. Bluetooth bridging to a cellular phone hotspot did not work on our end, but that is something several groups are working on diligently, so we would expect that to change soon.

Note

While it is possible to perform cellular-based hacks, that is beyond the scope of this book (technically and legally). We don't sanction this activity, and service providers are not fair game in a white-hat penetration test of a target network.
