# infinition/Bjorn

Bjorn is a powerful network scanning and offensive security tool for the Raspberry Pi with a 2.13-inch e-Paper HAT. It discovers network targets, identifies open ports, exposed services, and potential vulnerabilities. Bjorn can perform brute force attacks, file stealing, host zombification, and supports custom attack scripts.

## What it is
Bjorn is an autonomous network scanning and offensive security tool that runs on a Raspberry Pi with a 2.13-inch e-Paper HAT. It discovers hosts and open ports, performs vulnerability assessment with Nmap, executes brute-force attacks and file exfiltration, and displays its status via the e-Paper screen and a web interface.

## Use cases
- scan my home network for open ports and live hosts
- run an automated pentesting device on a raspberry pi
- brute force ssh and ftp credentials on my lan
- assess vulnerabilities of services on my network
- build a portable hacking gadget with an e-paper display
- monitor network security continuously from a small device
- steal files from vulnerable services during a pentest

## When to choose
- you want a self-contained, autonomous pentesting appliance on a Raspberry Pi
- you want a fun Tamagotchi-style device with a physical e-Paper display for security monitoring
- you need modular, scriptable network attacks (scanning, brute force, exfiltration) in one tool

## When to avoid
- you need a professional, enterprise-grade vulnerability scanner with reporting and compliance features
- you cannot or do not want to use dedicated Raspberry Pi hardware with an e-Paper HAT
- you need a passive defensive monitoring tool rather than active offensive testing

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: penetration-testing, vulnerability-scanning, security, networking, monitoring
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking, iot, hardware
- platform: python, embedded, iot, self-hosted
- tags: raspberry-pi, e-paper-display, nmap, brute-force, network-scanning, offensive-security, tamagotchi, pentesting, hardware-hacking, linux
