        WarBerryPi

        Introduction

        WarBerryPi is a toolkit to provide a hardware implant during Physical penetration testing or red teaming. The primary goal of the tool is to obtain as much information as possible, in a short period of time. The secondary goal is to be stealthy to avoid detection. As the name implies, the tool can be used on a small device like a RaspberryPi.

        Another use-case of WarBerryPi is to be an entry point to the network. In that case, a 3G connection is suggested, to avoid the outgoing network filtering (egress rules).

        Project details

        WarBerryPi is written in Python.

        Strengths and weaknesses

        • + More than 2000 GitHub stars
        • + The source code of this software is available
        • - Minimal or no documentation available
        • - No releases on GitHub available

        Typical usage

        • Information gathering
        • Information snooping
        • Penetration testing
        • Red teaming
