Training with Raspberry Pi

Presented at BSidesDC 2014, Oct. 18, 2014, 10:30 a.m. (50 minutes)

One of the biggest questions facing people trying to learn how to hack is “How do you practice without committing a crime?” Wi-Fi is one of the easiest things to break, but it still requires practice to be proficient. To practice, you can either go after a random Wi-Fi network or you can create your own target network. Using an old router is fine, but the passcode has to be changed manually. What if you turned a Raspberry Pi into a hackable target that changes the Wi-Fi key every time it boots? Using Hostapd, some custom code and a Wi-Fi dongle that supports master mode, a new training platform was created.

Presenters:

• Nathaniel Davis - Security Consultant at MAD Security
  Nathaniel has worked in the field for more than three years. He started in policy and moved into network architecture. He now works as a security consultant. His interest in hacking has always been there, but it really started in earnest after wanting to understand how the security threats worked. Nathaniel started researching ways to learn and to practice. His current area of interest is wireless networking.
