Max Kern has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a camera module and some power circuitry and sensors and created a first-person viewpoint wheeled security drone, the ZeroBot Pro, an upgrade from the previous ZeroBot (without the Pro!). The software…
The MagPi issue 67 is out and is a retro computing special covering: Hardware emulation and classic coding The best emulators for Raspberry Pi Using a Retro Computer The best retro computer community builds There’s also plenty of features on…
Two security vulnerabilities announced in recent days, Spectre and Meltdown, affect modern CPUs from Intel, ARM and AMD. There has been a fair amount of press coverage (Google it for more!) and, until a recent tweet from Raspberry Pi CEO…
Logan Rickert wanted to bring a Raspberry Pi Zero into a penetration testing environment but in a covert manner. He decided to repurpose an old hard drive, fit the Zero inside and then power it from the 5V line of…
Colin O’Dell has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero W, an Adafruit 3.5″ touchscreen, a PIR motion sensor and a 3D-printed enclosure and created a home alarm control panel. The system uses Z-Wave door sensors which send MQTT messages to the Pi…
The folks over at Diligence Technologies have written an interesting Instructable that can be used for simple home security. A Pi is connected to a camera module and then a piece of software written in Python is used to detect…
There are many reasons why you might want to try out your ‘hacking’ or penetration-testing skills. These range from a simple proof-of-concept as to why systems should be locked down to more aggressive hacking to prove the vulnerability of parts…
A team from Villanova University, Philadelphia, comprised of four faculty and more than twenty-five students, has developed a ‘bomb squad’ robot. The robot is intended to be used in developing countries to deal with explosive devices and uses a Raspberry Pi…
Mark West, a Brit now living in Norway, was convinced that he had some unwanted visitors in his garden. So, he decided to press into action a Raspberry Pi Zero as a security camera solution. He shopped at The Pi…
Naomi Wu, aka SexyCyborg, has created a fabulous cosmetics case which conceals within it a penetration test kit driven by a Raspberry Pi running Kali Linux. Called the Pi Palette, it is a 3D-printed (rather large) box which looks to…
