HELP: Poisontap for beginners

[mtlca]

hi guys!

I work in the computer department of a public school and we want to educate the community about computer security. We want to introduce them to Poisontap.

We buy a raspberry pi 3 in order to program the poisontap. But it seems to be more complicated than expected. Is there a detail procedure from the beginning? Or are there existing files to download on the raspberry that would make the task easier?

Iam new in programming. Thanks for helping the community.

Thank you guys!!

I think this is a more broad question as you will need linux command line skills in order to complete the installation. The application is written for Node.JS, so you have to have to understand web servers and Node.

Start here on your own and move on if you feel like this is something you should bring into the class: http://nodeguide.com/beginner.html

Maybe it would be better to just discuss this in class - Can you imagine you training 40 kids and then giving them this kind of tool? Uh, does not seem like the smart way to go but that is just me...

Security is a field where you look for gaps or holes in systems; you need to teach about the applicable systems (OS, web server, network communication and protocols, etc) before you can effectively use such a tool as this.

Thanks guyz for the advices, but can i have a step by step tutorial like those on youtube. I can do it:

1. I Execute those lines sucessfully in linux shell:

---

sudo bash
echo -e "\nauto usb0\nallow-hotplug usb0\niface usb0 inet static\n\taddress 1.0.0.1\n\tnetmask 0.0.0.0" >> /etc/network/interfaces
echo "dtoverlay=dwc2" >> /boot/config.txt
echo -e "dwc2\ng_ether" >> /etc/modules
echo "/bin/sh /home/pi/poisontap/pi_startup.sh" >> /etc/rc.local
mkdir /home/pi/poisontap
chown -R pi /home/pi/poisontap
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get -y install isc-dhcp-server dsniff screen nodejs

---

What is the next step?

Thank you!

This will not run with the Raspberry Pi 3 hardware, as the raspberry pi zero has a special usb controller that supports usb hosts.

Check your local micro center for the Zero. got mine for $5.44 with tax.

Thank you very much MR ARM. Would that work with that? https://inversepath.com/usbarmory

@mtlca Yes as the readme indicates it will work with the usbarmory, the lanturtle, the pi zero, and as @MrARM mentioned, anything which supports host mode
I'm currently working on a write-up as I install and configure everything from a coffee shop right now.
