Project Overview

Like many techies, I found myself absorbing far too much tech YouTube content. One night, I was watching a content creator and that's when I realized I had to build what he had. He had a video showcasing a Raspberry Pi that he converted to a mobile hacking device. This small device was used (with permission) at his local coffee shop to perform a Wi-Fi de-authentication attack. I had to try this in my home. So I did what any tech-addicted curious individual would do. I bought the parts and began to tinker. Components:

• Raspberry Pi Model: 3 B+
• Accessories: Bluetooth mini keyboard + trackpad, wireless adapter, LCD touchscreen
• Power: Charging bank for on-the-go hacking missions

The Break: Finding the Touchscreen Driver

After months of crafting the perfect mobile hacking setup, I hit a snag – the elusive touchscreen driver. Frustration peaked, so I took a breather—a wise move, as it turns out. Sometimes, a step back is all it takes. After my hiatus, I found the right driver for the LCD screen. Pure joy! Now, our hacking machine boasts a fully functional touchscreen, amplifying its cool factor. Before taking the break, this is what my machine looked like (I edited the /etc/motd (Message of the Day)):

 

Installation Guide

1. Get the Kali Image

Visit Kali Linux to grab the latest ARM image.

2. Format the SD Card

Use the SD Card Formatter for a clean slate.

3. Write the Image

Employ Win32DiskImager to burn Kali onto your SD card.

4. LCD Driver Magic

For the LCD driver, head to LCD-show-kali  and follow their wizardry.

The Result

Although everything was working perfectly, I couldn't help but think I could use my RPi for something more useful. After all this device does the same as my laptop but is much smaller. So I am now playing with the idea of transforming it into a PiHole to block ads and trackers! I will post that write-up soon.
