Ease of acquisition, affordability,and small form factor make the Pi a perfect throw-away hacking platform. This presentation demonstrates use of a Pi as a portable Man-in-the-Middle and SSL stripping attack vector. Any location offering open WiFi is potentially vulnerable to this type of attack. It is possible for an attacker to gather credentials and other personal information from WiFi sessions. Countermeasures that foil this type of attack will also be discussed.
