Build a PirateBox with Raspberry Pi
Hosted by DEFCON Group | Miami
Details
• What we'll do
PirateBox is an anonymous offline mobile file-sharing and communications system built with free software and inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware. You can use it to transform any space into a free and open offline communications and file sharing network.
This box is being built via a custom Raspberry Pi image, which is built on top of ArchLinux.
While you can follow along in real time if you have a Raspberry Pi on the list below along with wifi or ethernet connection depending on how you connect to your flavor of Pi.
