kali2go
A portable Kali workstation and field-lab platform for controlled cybersecurity practice and network experimentation.
kali2go is a Raspberry Pi-based portable Kali environment intended for controlled practice, field-style lab workflows, and lightweight network experimentation. The goal is a dependable portable desktop and workflow launcher, not a chaotic pile of one-off scripts.
Current State
kali2go is an active field-lab build based around Raspberry Pi hardware and Kali Linux ARM. The concept has moved beyond idea stage into practical setup work, including SSH access, network service experiments, and workflow launcher planning. Current work is focused on reliability, power stability, and safe workflow switching.
Purpose
Create a portable cybersecurity lab box that can be accessed from a Mac and used for controlled practice, field-style exercises, and repeatable workflows.
Tech Stack
