Set Up a Headless Raspberry Pi Hacking Platform Running Kali Linux by Sadmin.
From the post:
The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer that can crack Wi-Fi, clone key cards, break into laptops, and even clone an existing Wi-Fi network to trick users into connecting to the Pi instead. It can jam Wi-Fi for blocks, track cell phones, listen in on police scanners, broadcast an FM radio signal, and apparently even fly a goddamn missile into a helicopter.
The key to this power is a massive community of developers and builders who contribute thousands of builds for the Kali Linux and Raspberry Pi platforms. For less than a tank of gas, a Raspberry Pi 3 buys you a low-cost, flexible cyberweapon.
Of course, it’s important to compartmentalize your hacking and avoid using systems that uniquely identify you, like customized hardware. Not everyone has access to a supercomputer or gaming tower, but fortunately one is not needed to have a solid Kali Linux platform.
With over 10 million units sold, the Raspberry Pi can be purchased in cash by anyone with $35 to spare. This makes it more difficult to determine who is behind an attack launched from a Raspberry Pi, as it could just as likely be a state-sponsored attack flying under the radar or a hyperactive teenager in high school coding class.

Blogging while I wait for the Wikileaks Vault7 Part 1 files to load into an XML database. The rhyme or reason (or the lack thereof) behind Wikileaks releases continues to escape me.
Within a day or so I will drop what I think is a more useful organization of that information.
While you wait, this is a particularly good post on using a Raspberry Pi “for reconnaissance and attacking Wi-Fi networks” in the author’s words.
Although a Raspberry Pi is easy to conceal, both on your person and on location, the purpose of such a device isn’t hard to discern.
If you are carrying a Raspberry Pi, avoid being searched until after you can dispose of it. Make sure that your fingerprints or biological trace evidence is not on it.
I say “your fingerprints or biological trace evidence” because it would be amusing if fingerprints or biological trace evidence implicated some resident of the facility where it is found.
The results of being suspected of possessing a Kali Linux equipped Raspberry Pi versus being proven to have possessed such a device, may differ by years.
Go carefully.
