In this chapter, we had fun with tools that allowed us to covertly gain access to systems, divert their traffic, and otherwise wreak havoc on our targets. Topics included compromising systems with various forms of payload, social engineering techniques, exploiting browsers, and developing rogue access honeypots with the purpose of gaining access through vulnerabilities or by stealing user credentials. Often, the tests here will open additional doors and allow us to move laterally through the target environment. At this point, we have covered the basics of performing a penetration test with a Raspberry Pi. There are more concepts to learn; however, the topics covered so far will give you a general idea of how to use your Raspberry Pi for an authorized penetration test.

Practice is also essential. We found in researching these topics and running these scenarios that execution improved with each iteration and that different options and tools were needed depending on the topologies presented...
