Penetration Testing With Raspberry Pi

Construct a hacking arsenal for penetration testers or hacking enthusiasts using Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi

About This Book

• Learn how to turn a Raspberry Pi into a Kali Linux hacking toolkit for onsite, physical, and remote penetration testing
• Understand the capabilities, limitations, and features of Kali Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Build and develop methodologies ideal for Raspberry Pi penetration testing using real-world cases

Who This Book Is For

If you are looking for a low-budget, small form-factor, remotely accessible hacking tool, then the concepts in this book are ideal for you. If you are a penetration tester who wants to save on travel costs by placing a low-cost node on a target network, you will save thousands by using the methods covered in this book. You do not have to be a skilled hacker or programmer to use this book. It will be beneficial to have some networking experience; however, it is not required to follow the concepts covered in this book.

What You Will Learn

• Install and tune Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi for hacking
• Use a Raspberry Pi for pentests such as breaking wireless security, scanning networks, and capturing sensitive data
• Perform man-in-the-middle attacks and bypass SSL encryption
• Compromise systems using various exploits and toolkits
• Bypass security defenses and remove data from a target network
• Develop a command and control system to manage remotely placed Raspberry Pis
• Turn a Raspberry Pi into a honeypot to capture sensitive information
• Grasp professional penetration testing through proper documentation

In Detail

The Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, credit-card-sized computing system that can be customized for just about anything, including penetration testing. Raspberry Pi is the best-known platform not because it is cheap but because it is very powerful. Kali is a pentesting/security auditing Linux distribution. Kali Linux has many penetration-testing programs, including nmap (a port scanner), Wireshark (a packet analyzer), John the Ripper (a password cracker), Aircrack-ng (a software suite for the penetration-testing of wireless LANs), and Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP (both web application security scanners).

This book covers how to turn a Raspberry Pi into a hacking arsenal to leverage the most popular open source toolkit, Kali Linux. You will learn how to use various tools to breach networks and steal data.
