Raspberry Pi: A computer in your pocket



With an advancement of human race in the world of technology, compactness of
technical gadgets has become a bliss. Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer has drawn the
attention of tinkerers all over the world. Yes, this small device has made it
possible for you to operate your system from anywhere since it just fits into your
pocket. It is proving to be one of the hottest cheapest little computers in the
world.
An engineer with a vision is an asset to a country. Implementation of ideas and
theories is what makes an efficient engineer. This very device was invented for
the sole purpose of giving engineers a complete exposure of their work. The
inception of Raspberry Pi began in 2006 and it was finally released on 19 th
February, 2012 with two models: Model A and Model B. The latest model of
Raspberry Pi was released in 2014 and is called Model B+. A Raspberry Pi costs
around $35 and is capable of doing all that an expensive bulky computer does
making it popular among students. The inventor of Raspberry Pi EBEN UPTON,
envisioned it to bring a wave of enthusiasm amongst the student sector since the
device would allow them to have an access to it easily considering its low cost. It
is a 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARMv8 processor with some other attractive
specifications as:

  1. Bluetooth 4.1
  2. 1GB RAM
  3. 11n Wireless LAN
  4. 4 USB Ports
  5. 40 GPIO Pins
  6. Full HDMI Port    

RASPBIAN, WINDOWS 10 IoT CORE, RISC OS OPEN LIMITED, MOEBIUS,
RETROPIE and OSMC are some of the top operating systems that can run on
Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is known to be an open hardware with an exception of
a primary chip on the board, called the Broadcomm SoC (system on chip). This 
SOC is responsible to function many of the main components on the board like
graphics, CPU, memory etc.
IOT with Raspberry PI
IOT is the technology that holds the future. When we think of smart world, what
comes to our mind is Internet of Things. One cannot advance in the tech world
unless is aware of this very technology. Every other organization is switching its
platform to this technology to keep a pace with the fast moving era of technology.
Raspberry Pi forms the best platform for learning IOT since it offers a complete
linux server on a small platform at an effective cost. A number of projects of IOT
can be done using Raspberry Pi. We can even say, Raspberry Pi forms the stepping
stone in the learning process of IOT. A small tool capable of doing great things is
what we need to have a command on if we seek our future in technologies.

NMAP and ZenMAP

NMAP and ZenMAP are useful tools for the scanning phase of Ethical Hacking in Kali Linux. NMAP and ZenMAP are practically the same tool, however NMAP uses command line while ZenMAP has a GUI. NMAP is a free utility tool for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. NMAP uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine which hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, which operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, etc. Now, let’s go step by step and learn how to use NMAP and ZenMAP. Step 1 − To open, go to Applications → 01-Information Gathering → nmap or zenmap. Step 2 − The next step is to detect the OS type/version of the target host. Based on the help indicat...

Internet Of Things -IOT

Hey there! Have you heard of IoT? Yes the most popular thing in industry. If not, it is Internet of Things. Do you use smart watches or have you heard about smart city, smart house, these are the practical application of IoT. Didn’t get it?If you just Google “what is IoT?”, you will get a technical answer: “The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.”  Simply, The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Now you’ll ask me “Okay, but why is it so much important?”. Today majority of devices works on sensors but sensors will not live forever. In other words, cheap sensors are not going to be 100% reliable, 100% of the time. Ph...

Kali Linux - Installation and Configuration

Kali Linux is one of the best security packages of an ethical hacker, containing a set of tools divided by the categories. It is an open source and its official webpage is https://www.kali.org. Generally, Kali Linux can be installed in a machine as an Operating System, as a virtual machine . Installing Kali Linux is a practical option as it provides more options to work and combine the tools. You can also create a live boot CD or USB. All this can be found in the following link: https://www.kali.org/downloads/ BackTrack was the old version of Kali Linux distribution. The latest release is Kali 2018.1 and it is updated very often. To install Kali Linux − First, we will download the Virtual box  or Vmware workstation and install it. Later, we will download and install Kali Linux distribution. Instead of downloading  the images file you all can download that ova file extension . The benefits of it is that you do not have to install it. What you have to do is to just ...
