ABSTRACT
What type of data or sensitive information can we lose if an unauthorized person gains access to our
network? Consider the types of confidential information that could be obtained and carefully analyzed if
a hacker is sniffing/tracing packets of data being posted from your device. Securing data is one of the
main services provided by Kali Linux, this is the Operating System (OS) used for our research efforts.
Specific tools offered by Kali Linux such as Ettercap-Graphical, Wireshark, Aircrack-ng, and ARP
poisoning are used to perform in-depth our practical research of penetration testing. The testing will be
performed using an ARM micro-processor contained within the BeagleBone Black (BBB)
microcomputer systems board. Therefore, Kali Linux and its security tools can be accessed using BBB
and it will be a portable ethical hacking device. The outcome of our effort will show gathered data such
as ID’s, usernames and passwords obtained from a website by performing a Reconnaissance attack.
Also, de-authenticating another host’s wireless access will be performed by a Denial of Service (DoS)
attack.
