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.

Summary


The Raspberry Pi has from its inception provided us with a huge diversity of applications and projects that we can explore. While the majority of the book focuses on just one specific implementation of the Raspberry Pi - using it with Kali Linux as a pen testing platform - we wanted to explore other enticing options in this chapter to help whet your appetite and broaden your exposure to the skills all of these projects can help develop. ARM images beyond Kali Linux, such as PwnPi, Raspberry Pwn, PwnBerry Pi, and Windows 10, give this platform serious utility in any security testing repertoire. Kali is the current leader in the field, but we believe knowing what else is out there is always a good idea. In this chapter, we also wanted to show some other security-related uses, and in doing so turned the same cost-effective platform into a Firewall and intrusion detection system, content filter, and even participated in the anonymity network known as Tor. Just to prove we aren't all...
