So to start off I repurposed the first honeypot I had created a couple of months ago. This was quite similar to flashing the microSD the first time so I won't go into the details again. You can read more about Kali for Raspberry PI here . This is really cool because once you flash the Kali image onto the SSD with the addition of a battery pack you have now created a portable Kali machine that is ready to take with you on all sorts of adventures. Please remember to only test on things that you have permission to do so. An easy way is to just test against your own devices and I will show a few examples below of some fun things I found going a little deeper into my security research on Wi-Fi. So in the first honeypot I created before I had simple logging capabilities if a rogue device where to connect to my access point. I had at least a mac address and minimal information about the device. So that was interesting but I wanted to go a bit further and see what else you could do. I d...

This was a fun project to work on and build out. I learned a few new interesting tricks along the way. I started with this tutorial from 2013 by Andy Smith . However, a few things have changed with hostapd that I had to figure out through debugging. Also, the configuration of the nginx server as well as dnsmasq were slightly different for me using the new Raspbian Buster for Raspberry Pi 4.  This should save you some time if you follow my trick tips later on in the article that I found by searching through various message boards and googling error messages as I did debugging to get this working properly. I have gone over setting up nginx servers in previous articles so if you need help with getting started these may be helpful. So first things first. I started with a canakit and assembled the raspberry pi with the appropriate heat sinks and a little fan set to a standard speed. The speed is adjusted by how you install the wiring. If you haven't done this before you can follow the ...
