Raspberry Pi Penetration Testing Resources

The Raspberry Pi excels not only as an affordable $35 dollar Linux computer but also as an excellent platform for penetration testing. It is cheap, small, easily hidden, and replaceable. There are a number of distributions and projects related to applying the Raspberry Pi within the basis of penetration testing.


Kali Linux

The guys over at Offensive Security were able to port Kali Linux to the RPi, it has an impressive list of penetration testing tools, sharing almost all of them with its desktop relative. It is my personal favorite distribution.

The Raspberry Pi Kali image can be found here: http://www.kali.org/downloads/





Raspberry Pwn 

Raspberry Pwn was developed by the guys over at PwnieExpress. It hasn't been updated in a while according to GitHub but it is still a good project and served as the foundation for the development of other distributions. 






PwnPi

PwnPi is another penetration testing distribution, it seems quite popular, although I haven't tried it out. It uses a different window manager called Xfce so perhaps you will like this distribution if you aren't a fan of the Kali Linux style.
