Raspberry Pwn is from the same team that brings you Pwn Pad and Pwn Phone. The Debian-based distribution will have your favorite tools such as SET, Wireshark, dnswalk, and various wireless testing applications. Consider it an alternative to Kali Linux containing many similar tools.
The installation process of Raspberry Pwn is different from a typical ARM image. This is because Raspberry Pwn basically sits on top of the Raspbian operating system.
Let's look at how to install and run Raspberry Pwn using the following steps:
2014-09-09-wheezy-raspbian.img
command, which worked fine.sudo dd if=2014-09-09-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk2
.sudo –i
command to become the root user.google.com
. Once you confirm you have network connectivity, type apt-get update
to update the firmware. This should only take a few minutes.apt-get install git
as shown in the preceding screenshot. This is followed by the git clone https://github.com/pwnieexpress/Raspberry-Pwn.git
command to download the Raspberry Pwn software as shown in the following screenshot:Raspberry-Pwn
directory using cd Raspberry-Pwn
and type ./INSTALL_raspberry_pwn.sh
to install the software as shown in the following screenshot:This process should take 10-20 minutes.
raspberrypi login #
command prompt. Use the default Debian login, with the username pi
and password raspberry
. If you changed your Raspbian login, use that instead.apt-get update
and apt-get upgrade
at this point.To access the available tools, navigate to the /pentesting
folder. In that folder, you will find a variety of tools seen in many popular penetration arsenals.
Raspberry Pwn is a great toolkit that is very efficient for network sniffing, social engineering attacks using SET, and other similar tools. It doesn't have the depth and breadth as Kali, but what it lacks, it makes up for in performance. Although it does not support it yet, we are hoping Pwnie Express will add the ability for Raspberry Pwn to be centrally managed through Pwnie Express's central management consoles making Raspberry Pwn a cheap sensor for that architecture.
