Enthusiasts have created a multifunctional platform for pentesting based on the Raspberry Pi.
Ethical hacking, or pentesting, is a fascinating field that requires deep knowledge and skills. Enthusiasts and professionals in the field of cybersecurity have acquired an interesting novelty-a Hackbat device for checking systems for vulnerabilities using real hacker attacks.
Hackbat is a specialized board with a Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller based on the RP2040 processor. It is a compact yet versatile and functional solution for mobile pentesting.
Hackbat's arsenal includes a wide range of modules and interfaces. The PN532 module supports NFC tags and cards. The ESP-12F chip adds Wi-Fi support for wireless network penetration. The device is also equipped with a USB port and a microSD card slot in case you need to expand the memory.
For ease of use, Hackbat has an OLED display that displays the necessary information, and buttons for navigating menus and executing commands. Thanks to its modular design, the device can be customized to suit your tasks and requirements.
The key feature of Hackbat is its open source code, which allows anyone to build the device themselves. Developer Pablo Trujillo published the project files and circuit board diagrams for free manufacturing, for example, at the JLCPCB factory.
Similar commercial solutions, such as Flipper Zero, are often expensive. Hackbat offers a budget alternative with the possibility of repair, upgrade and self-modification.
The possession of such tools is not illegal. However, you should use them responsibly — only for legitimate purposes, such as auditing the cybersecurity of your own infrastructure or under a contract with clients.
