Raspberry Pi Neapple

Abstract

1. Introduction

These programs work together to copy network traffic and back them up to a remote server. They are intended to be run on a Raspberry Pi posing as an open wireless access point.

The code present in this repo was part of work done for a university security course. It is intended for learning and research purposes. Don't use these programs on other people without getting informed consent. It may be illegal to do so in your country.

2. Objective

A wifi pineapple project built for the raspberry pi.

This project demonstrates how C, Raspberry Pi, Python can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Arduino IDE / PlatformIO or a C compiler (gcc)
• Target board where applicable
• Python 3.8 or later
• pip / virtualenv for dependencies
• VS Code, PyCharm or Jupyter Notebook
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/FrankMerriman/Raspberry-Pi.neapple.git
cd Raspberry-Pi.neapple

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/home/$USER/.local/bin >> ~/.bashrc

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
• Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
• Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
4. How is power consumption managed?
5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
