Pineapple Pi

Portable Hacking Unit: Raspberry Pi 3 running Kali Linux with 7" Touch screen and Hak5 Wifi Pineapple.

Too many times I have found that using my Wifi Pineapple has been cumbersome with a full size laptop. Although having access to Linux based tools is useful, the size just ultimately became a problem. I started looking at tablet options, and then it occurred to me, couldn’t I just use a Raspberry Pi to accomplish this task? Well, after researching options, I found a solution that not only provides a small footprint and portability, it also give me access to almost every tool I need.

Introducing the Pineapple Pi running Kali Linux.

Parts List:

Since the WiFi Pineapple has a mostly GUI interface, that actually works well with a touch screen, this setup is the perfect option for using the Pineapple with a permanently attached computer. It's easy to carry around, and still small enough to stash somewhere to use for a audit.

The 20100mAh Battery allows it to run without being plugged in for hours.

In addition to performing wireless audits, I also have the full capabilities of Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi 3 at my disposal. The on-screen keyboard, works for simple typing, but a small logitech wireless keyboard makes it so much easier.

Overall, I’m very happy with the results and loving my new portable wireless audit machine.
