All Raspberry Pi models are incredibly useful gadgets, and a lot of fun too! No one seems to understand this better than Infinition, who has created a really cool project called BjornThis brilliant creation serves as a useful network tool for penetration testing (pen testing), but also becomes a fun experience thanks to its game-like user interface. 🎮

Bjorn is a full-fledged networking rating system, and it's also the name of the little Viking character that appears on the screen. As you perform certain tasks, he has different graphs that correspond to the functions. Additionally, Bjorn levels up as you continue to use the system, depending on what you do. 🌟

Aside from its Tamagotchi-like user interface, it has been programmed with a handful of useful features. You can use Bjorn to scan networks for open ports and check for vulnerabilities. It can also carry out brute-force system attacks on multiple protocols such as FTP, SSH, etc. Bjorn can even raid networks and “steal” data, or rather, implement file theft using detected vulnerabilities. 🦜

According to the official documentation, Bjorn is designed to run on either the Raspberry Pi Zero W or Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. While it's compatible with both the older and newer Pi Zero models, wireless support is required. That said, we've seen evidence from other creators who've managed to get Bjorn working on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Infinition recommends connecting the Pi to a Waveshare 2.13-inch e-Ink display HAT for visual output.

If you're excited about this creation — and you should be! — I have good news for you. Infinition has decided to make the project completely open source, so you can recreate it at home with your own Raspberry Pi. If you want to see more about how it works and play with it firsthand, you can visit the official Bjorn project page at GitHub. 👩‍💻

This is definitely one of the most unique Raspberry Pi projects we've come across. It's great to see something so useful with such a fun interface. However, it's important to note that the tools provided by Bjorn should be used seriously and are intended for ethical hacking purposes. Do not use this tool for illegal or immoral activities. 🚫
