P4wnP1 LTE updates

After publishing my blog post about running P4wnP1 on an LTE modem, where I explained how to install Linux and P4wnP1 on an actual LTE modem for sneaky USB attacks, and then trying and failing to do an internal presentation to show it off to folks, I realised that I had not completely documented the process. In fact, I had left it rather incomplete as it turned out! As I was intending to give a public demonstration of P4wnP1-LTE, I had some work to do.

P4wnP1-LTE

I’ve written a couple of blog posts in the past in which I explain how to use Marcus Mengs’ truly excellent P4wnP1. The most common deployment scenario involves a Raspberry Pi Zero W, or possibly a FriendlyArm NanoPi R1S. The downside of these platforms is that you need to be in fairly close physical proximity in order to access the WiFi interface, or even closer to access Bluetooth. The NanoPi R1S can support an LTE modem, to give you much bigger range, but the downside to that is that it looks pretty clunky.
