Jay Turla, a writer for the Infosec Institute, has done a great round-up of Linux distros and apps that will work on the Raspberry Pi to carry out network penetration tests. Read more here
I’m running my second Raspberry Jam on 20th July in Cambridge. There are still a few tickets available – visit Eventbrite to get yours!
