Portable Hacking with a RasPi and Kali Linux

This is a cool project if you have a Raspberry Pi you need to repurpose and/or tinker with.

On the other hand, I'd also like to note that you can get Kali Linux running on a Nexus 5 or a Nexus 7, which in my opinion is a much sleeker hacking device and probably less work to setup:

EDIT: Been about a year since I last looked at that page. It looks like nearly the entire Nexus line is supported now. As is the OnePlus One.

Also, an RPi is probably noticeably less powerful than a Nexus 7 which is quad-core.

The RPi 2 is also quadcore but clocked at 900 MHz - so maybe less powerful but perhaps not as much as you might think

Yep, about the same as a modern budget cellphone, but much more open to experimentation. It can also be overclocked, and it does make a noticeable difference. The Pi 2 is more or less usable as a desktop PC at this stage, though it's not going to replace even a 10 year old workstation or laptop in that regard.
