Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi with LUKS Disk Encryption
- haarts 12y agoI'm wondering if you could use a Pi effectively since I gathered that penetration testing is quite CPU intensive.
- SpaceInvader 12y agoI'm afraid it's gonna be very slow due to LUKS encryption and lack of support for it in the CPU. Does anybody seen any benchmarks?
- throwawayaway 12y agofrom the paxswill guide for raspbian: "Write speed is greatly reduced, down to 4.2 MB/s from 12.9 MB/sec." http://paxswill.com/blog/2013/11/04/encrypted-raspberry-pi/ http://paxswill.com/blog/2013/11/04/encrypted-raspberry-pi/ My rpi sd card does 20mb/s unencrypted, have yet to bench encrypted.
- cssmoo 12y agoDoes disk encryption on an SD card cause write amplification at all? I've killed two decent genuine Sandisk SD cards already in under a year and would worry that this would blast them even quicker even if it is desirable to encrypt the disks.
- throwawayaway 12y agoit's good that they credit the ofthedeed guide for raspbian at the end, which in turn borrowed a lot from the paxswill guide for raspbian. the ofthedeed guide has an image ready to go, which is convenient but not for the truly paranoid. i've read about a 50% i/o performance penalty for this setup but 50% of not a lot is still not a lot, so most people won't be too bothered by it.
