HoneyPi Part 2: Network Setup

Next came the network. For the deployment of the device I chose the office. I am at work more than I am at home and it also offers a lot more in terms of security and configurability. This will likely remain after the internship so that I can continue to play with it. Also, it can’t hurt to have something sitting in our block that looks like a juicy target. It’s a long shot but if someone scans our block and sees this maybe they will waste time here instead of on my actual assets.

Finally found a cool use for the old Pi 4 I bought years ago. I bought it just because I have a need to collect all things technical in nature. The SANS ISC internship is giving me the perfect opportunity to put it to use!

Since it had been years I decided on a fresh install of the OS. I downloaded the latest Raspberry Pi Imager and followed the simple steps to creating a bootable microSD for my soon to be Honey Pi (yes a perfect name… you can hold your applause). I highly recommend during this process to setup the Raspberry Pi Connect as it helped me get to the thing remotely when I made a mistake on the networking side later on in the setup. Also, the imager will give you an option to go ahead and load your SSH Keys, I would do this as well since it makes connecting via SSH that much easier later on.
