  • Kali: The Raspberry Pi’s Wi-Fi Glow-Up: I used to have a Pi running Kali, but since I wasn’t using it much I had wiped it. Maybe I’ll get it running again since I should have a spare Pi sitting around somewhere.

    • This is a reminder that I’ve been meaning to circle back on this: GitHub: WithSecureLabs / Kanvas: “A simple-to-use IR (incident response) case management tool for tracking and documenting investigations.”
