Description
Performing penetration tests using small, low-powered devices is now within reach. This comprehensive guide shows you how to use an army of devices, costing less than a laptop, from distances of up to a mile or more. Using devices running a version of The Deck, a full-featured penetration testing and forensics Linux distribution, these tests can run for days or weeks on batteries due to their low power consumption. Author Philip Polstra provides detailed instructions on constructing and powering these devices, installing operating systems, and filling out your toolbox with hundreds of tools and scripts from the book's companion website. With this reference, you'll learn how to plan and execute effective penetration tests using an army of low-power devices, leveraging IEEE 802.15.4 networking to perform tests from up to a mile away or use 802.15.4 gateways to test anywhere in the world.
