In this hands-on demo I use a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (built-in Wi-Fi only) with Kali Linux to: • Deauth an owned test Wi-Fi so IP camera streams stall. • Capture a WPA2 4-way handshake and crack a weak password (“spiderman”) with a wordlist. Then I walk through the full setup: imaging Kali to SD with Raspberry Pi Imager, first boot, updates, and installing hcxdumptool, hcxtools, mdk3. Educational only—test your own networks. Upgrade to WPA3 and use long passphrases. Help family secure their home Wi-Fi.
