Hi, i have problem because i have razberry pi zero w with 512MB RAM. So this system work very slow. How i can optimize or change this system to best efficiency ??

Install the OS with CLI instead of GUI. Or try a lightweight OS like DietPi.

I uses "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" and isn't running any advance stuff

And for me its fast enough

So avoid to add program/services that demand a lot of RAM and CPU

Remember Raspberry Pi Zero is a "kick bike", it si NOT a combination of a sports car and a lorry.

yes. also you might want to enable swap but that will increase the chance of the SD card failing

big7459

okay

big7459

so I need Linux like in the video to be able to use it remotely

oops.se

I have no idea, I don't understand that language

big7459

Do you know if Ubuntu will be good for doing a penetration test?

big7459

I need this raspberry to test the network etc...

big7459

Can you recommend an alternative solution?

Pen testing can be done with most distros, it depend on your skill level.

I would like something that gives many possibilities right away, I am determined to learn, I have been working on setting up this system almost non-stop since yesterday, I will probably set it up but it will take me a lot of time

I'm finishing school and I want to annoy my friends with iPhone by using it

big7459

I managed to run Linux completely and even set up Wi-Fi but it was very slow, I wanted to set it as in the video above, but connecting via SSH doesn't work :/

oops.se

Then I am not the one that you should ask for help as this is unethical and also can be a crime in some countries. Pen testing is a serious skill and shouldn't be missused!

big7459

it's just to show my friends, I don't want to ruin anyone's time

oops.se

Annoying friends is unethical.

big7459

They irritated me too

big7459

but okay, thank you

oops.se

If they do something wrong doesn't make it right to something wrong against them!

big7459

all on the level of friends, fooling around. Nobody did anything bad to me, just like this Apple is not bad, just move away and the problem is solved or turn off Bluetooth Low Energy

big7459

but it's great fun trying to install Linux on such a small and weak computer
