Summary

In this chapter, we started using the Raspberry Pi with Kali Linux for penetration testing purposes. We first covered how to use nmap to assess a network for devices, ports, and other data points for possible exploitation. Next, we looked at how to crack wireless networks so that we could access the network and run nmap or other scanning tool sets.

Once we covered basic network reconnaissance for LAN and wireless, we looked at a few attack techniques that could be launched while on the network. The first attack that we covered was performing a man-in-the-middle attack with the purpose of getting data through the Raspberry Pi. Later, we covered how to break SSL encryption while monitoring traffic between a trusted source and a victim. We also included how to tune packet captures and export data to avoid crashing the Raspberry Pi.

The next chapter will look at how to leverage the Raspberry Pi to compromise systems and advanced tactics to capture sensitive data.
