Penetration Testing Using a Raspberry Pi

Abstract

The problem for companies is that they are constantly being attacked by hackers, some companies actually lose sensitive information. This can lead to identity theft, compromised bank accounts and other problems for companies. In order to ensure this situation is avoided, penetration testing has become a enormous opportunity for companies to find exploits within their own software. The goal of this research is to show how easy it is to use an inexpensive Raspberry Pi for penetration testing for beginners as well as experts looking for alternative methods. By researching the book Penetration Testing with Raspberry Pi by Michael McPhee and Jason Beltrame, I want to show the benefits of using this software and how to perform this type of test in order to inform those who are interested and looking for an inexpensive way to practice cyber defense.
