Recently at work, we’ve had a problem with a customer and a multisite Ruckus Zone Director upgrade. A couple of the customer sites did not come up after the upgrade. This according to support is due to bandwidth constraints and I got to troubleshooting. I did pull up Wireshark on my laptop with a mirrored port but really want to get some more information especially after working hours when the network should be more “quiet”.

This has given me the opportunity to finally jump into something I’ve been wanting to play with for quite some time – Raspberry Pi for network troubleshooting. After digging online, I’ve decided to use Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ that I’ve had laying around. Kali should have a pretty decent toolset (being that it’s for hackers). I should be able to perform a capture that I can analyze and get things going. I know many people use this setup with remote VNC and even VPN so I really should be good.

The raspberry pi makes the perfect box for doing stuff like this. It’s small and low powered (I power mine with POE!) yet powerful enough to run linux commands which can really be helpful in a pinch.

I hope to give further updates on my setup and how it works in subsequent posts.
