Three Raspberry Pi-based projects, PiHole, a honeypot, and a Pwnagotchi, give aspiring infosec professionals hands-on experience with networking, attack detection, and wireless security testing.
- PiHole is a network-level ad and tracker blocker that teaches DNS, DHCP, and routing fundamentals.
- A honeypot, built with OpenCanary and a Raspberry Pi, is a decoy system that logs real attack attempts against it.
