bashincajun Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Does anyone have any fun Raspberry Pi or Pi zero projects they recommend? i have a few of each laying around looking for new Ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I, too, have some Pi's laying around and have been looking for some projects. I've looked here (http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Projects/) but haven't found anything I really want to build yet. If anyone else has some cool ideas please share.

b0N3z Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have been using a pi zero with a usb2eth0 and wifi connection to run bettercap and xerosploit on a network to replace downloads and well use bettercap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotPike Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Learn how to encrypt the root file system and unlock it with dropbear and bussybox. Something I done for one of my backup servers. https://github.com/NicoHood/NicoHood.github.io/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-Encrypt-Root-Partition-Tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPA3 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I use my pi1's for cctv and pi2 for pihole and pivpn as for my pizero's not found anything worth using them for yet. https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently use OpenVPN Access Server as a VM on my NUC and was considering building a PiVPN to have dedicated hardware for it but I'm concerned about the network performance.

I use it to view my cctv while i'm out,and to check on my dog an stuff like that. Not seen/noticed any issues as of yet, works great with pi-hole installed as well.

BrainEater Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Regarding your pi projects. I run a raspberry pi 3 with Ubuntu server installed and an openvpn vanilla server running on that. It's great I had a few issues and a few reinstalls but I'm only new to openvpn. After setting it up 4 time and tinkering I love it, it's brilliant. Runs with no issues and mine has been up in total (between tinckering) for about a week and running for only 2 days now but I haven't had any issues that aren't user error and after correct setup I can't fault it. I'm also about to start an OwnCloud server build on my second raspberry pi 3 and from what I have read it works great too. The plan it to get the OwnCloud server up and running (and I still have 1 pi left after that for another project 'need ideas') then cluster then together in a cluster case run ethernet cables to all 3 into a switch and power them from a 5 port high watt usb hub, strap it all together in a nice package and bolt a cooling fan to it, then sit it next to my router and run 1 ethernet cable and 1 power cable to them and have them run 24/7 just sshing into them if need be. Hope you like the idea, don't thing anyone else will use it though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bashincajun Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 )I actually did use one ofmine on a CCTV setup for my office. I sit in a remote part of the building(apparently they took my doesn't play well with others Sign seriously) so i put one oup out side my office door and just have a old tablet linked to it to see when some one is going to be disturbing me.

0phoi5 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) I play with Raspberry Pis even more than myself. Projects I've done / had a go at so far; CCTV Camera In-car media system Home automation with OpenHAB Kodi box for TV On-the-go pentesting box On-top-of-the-shed weather station (thermometer, wind gauge, precipitation) TOR WiFi Router Voice recognition for any of the above, using PocketSphinx Edited May 24, 2017 by haze1434 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Pi at home running a weather station - however it is mainly used to check the Earth's magnetic field (looking for auroras). Using it as a Kodi box is also an obvious choice :P Cheaper than buying an AppleTV or Boxee (although Boxee is the next choice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleo Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Another project that needs more attention is tholum's PiBunny for the Raspberry Pi Zero https://github.com/tholum/PiBunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nano has not enough CPU/RAM so i want to use bettercap on the Pi Zero W. Still searching for the best way to connect it to the pineapple (WiFi, usb2eth to pineapple or usb2eth to rpi). The nano is so unstable that i only use it to collect the clients. Some hint for this Project ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Well with all the time it took to setup and hardly working it wasnt worth the time with the zero and while i could connect it to the Pineapple, So far not able to run clients on the pineapple through the pi back to the internet and with further testing, bettercap installed on the zero but would not start for some reason. Ive scrapped this and am using the BashBunny now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkiver Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 None of mine are remotely amazing, but they are useful. Got my daughter a pi3 and am teaching her what makes a computer works, basic coding etc. She asked for it for her birthday. My own pi3, I have with multiple SD cards, retro gaming, up to PSX era, and also as a "Show to schools" when I work with them about how we can move away from standard machines, save money, and every kid can have one. And messing with Alexa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingDodo Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yeah, I got some Pi's that i am using with The Pihole project That's a easy one and a really something to do.https://pi-hole.net/ And i got the HASS ( Home Assistant: https://home-assistant.io/ ) you can make you'r own "Smart" Home with it. And the really have many compatible devices , Many devices are connectable with it take a look here ( https://home-assistant.io/components/#search/ ) For now i got 1 Pi3 left and 1 PiZero . One Zero i connected with the Home-Assistant and that measures now my room Temp and moving detection, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pi-Hole thing looks interesting - a home Ad Blocker, however it puts me off that it's basically just a DNS server...Cheaper (free) way to do that kind of ad-blocking is just to add a bunch of entries in your hosts file..

Well, Yes. But this way there is no need to do it for all my devices. My phone, Tablet, Laptop, Smart-TV ect are all Add Free this way. And otherwise i need to adjust my host file for each device. Now i just connector to my network and add are gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
