As you may know from my previous post, I am attempting to build a Raspberry Pi into a network attack and network monitoring box. This project has been going on for a few weeks, with it's fair share of minor issues, as would be expected. However, I recently ran into a fairly large problem that I had not anticipated. It seems that I have nearly killed a Raspberry Pi. The system is no longer at a functional level of RAM available, which seems to be due to the amount of work I had been attempting to do on this machine, which is made to be very basic.
With that being said, I have ordered (and overnighted) another Pi, this one is one of the new models with 512mb of RAM. Although that still is not a large amount, it is double what I had been working with. This Pi will not be overclocked, at least not initially. If I begin running into the same issues I had been, which revolve around running OpenVAS and Metasploit at the same time, I do have a backup plan which should allow that to function if need be.
Thank you for continuing to read this blog, and I'll be sure to keep you updated on how the new Pi is handling the pressure.
