Hello everyone! I am a student who is finishing a Masters degree in Cyber security and Digital Forensics, and to complete my course I have to develop and submit a project by the end of the second semester. Originally, I was planning to develop an automated platform for internal penetration testing that runs on Raspberry Pi, but unfortunately for me, ScoutBot was released (http://lansec.net/project/scoutbot/) which means that my project idea is not unique anymore. Because of that, I am looking for another project idea and hopefully - you can help me.

What can I offer you? Over 600 hours of work dedicated to the project by a student who is hardworking and eager to learn new things. Although I am not a Programming Guru, I have some skills in C#, Java and Python.

What am I looking for? A project idea that is related to Cyber security (and it would be perfect if it is directly related to Penetration Testing since that is the career I pursue). I am still interested in using Raspberry Pi, so maybe someone can suggest me something related to it?

I will also be grateful for links to places where I could look for projects.

Thanks.
