• PwnPi – The Pentest Distro for the RasPi

    by  • May 28, 2012 • Downloads, Info

    Hey guys, I was on twitter earlier and I stumbled across the SourceForge of a pentest distro for the Raspberry Pi mini computer. Here are some screenshots to entice you with, and if you like, feel free to visit the SourceForge page.

    As I have yet to get my hands on a RasPi, somebody will have to let me know how it runs :(

    I like this trend to porting the usual tools to embedded Linux ARM systems. Although, each embedded pentesting distro repeats a lot of Debian packaging work. Why not setup a Debian ARM package repo for these tools?

     

    I agree with Postmodern here in that Debian has an Arm distro, why not have a repo for the tools also if they are used so much? With the RasPi, the Zipit Z2, and all of the other ARM based devices, I believe this is in the cards.

     

    Have you had a chance to try this distro? Do you have a RasPi with a similar config?

    Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear what you guys come up with.
