To do this, we will create a fake LUKS filesystem. Now, before we start to create our initramsfs, we need to do a sly little hack to force cryptsetup to be included. Take special care here–the separators between the entries have to be tabs, not spaces. Next, we need to create a /etc/crypttab file containing the following: crypt /dev/mmcblk0p2 none luks #/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 dev/mapper/crypt / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 We also need to edit /etc/fstab and replace the device where our root filesystem currently is to be /dev/mapper/crypt: cat /etc/fstab With the change made, our file looks like this: cat /boot/cmdline.txtĭwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=2 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mapper/crypt cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:crypt rootfstype=ext4 rootwait rootflags=noload net.ifnames=0

We are going to update it with a cryptdevice value: root=/dev/mapper/crypt cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:crypt Take note of the entry reading root=/dev/mmcblk0p2. By default, it contains the following: cat /boot/cmdline.txtĭwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=2 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait rootflags=noload net.ifnames=0 Now that we know our root filesystem location, we will edit the /boot/cmdline.txt. This is what we will use for our examples going forward, so be sure to update the instructions with whatever value you received on your system. Take special note that our root filesystem lives at /dev/mmcblk0p2. dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 Next, we want to validate where our actual root filesystem device is located: cat /etc/fstab It is important to not reboot the device or otherwise shut down the system until you are ready or you will be left with a system that won’t boot.įirst off, we need to append a line to /boot/config.txt: echo initramfs initramfs.gz followkernel > /boot/config.txt Take note, once we start this process, we are going to be changing a number of critical files on our RPi installation. The RPi is all setup and ready to go so let’s get our hands dirty and dive into things.

apt updateĪpt install cryptsetup lvm2 busybox dropbear Next, we connect over SSH, update Kali, and install a few packages we will need. On first boot, it will resize the SD card and reboot, after that it’s ready for use. With that out of the way, we insert the SD card into the RPi and let it boot up. We won’t get into that here, but you can find information on doing so in our docs. To start with, we need to write out the RPi image to a SD card. Then down the road when we are done with it, we can retrieve it or remote in and destroy our data with LUKS NUKE. This permits us to run the RPi headless, but still keeping our data secure. This might seem like a lot, but its really pretty straightforward and once completed, we will be left with a RPi that will boot, get an IP from DHCP, and Dropbear will allow us to connect via SSH to provide the LUKS key.

If you have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, or really any other model or similar device, feel free to use the instructions below to set up your own secure system.

So we use the LUKS full disk encryption along with the LUKS Nuke capability to put this together. With all the new Raspberry Pi models and Kali changes from when we last covered this, we found the old process was in need of some updating.Īs a review, what we are trying to accomplish is to create a standalone “leave behind” device that, when discovered, does not make it easy to figure out what you were doing.

We have covered how to create secure “throw-away hack boxes” using the Raspberry Pi before, but we thought it was time to go back and take a look at the process again.
