Smart energy is the process of using devices for energy-efficiency. It Focuses on
powerful, sustainable renewable energy sources that promote greater ecofriendliness while driving down costs.
Smart Cities have been facing a lot of security
breach issues, there are many risks that have high impacts on its
sustainability. Penetration testing is an essential assessment and
needs to be performed frequently for Smart Cities systems to
maintain their safety and security. Due to the rapid growth of
modern cities, there is an exigent need to identify the various
security risks and threats that exists in these cities. This study
proposes a practical and efficient solution to mitigate these risks by
evaluating a smart solution in performing penetration testing on
those smart cities via using a Raspberry Pi III –computer based
smart device as an alternative method to perform penetration
testing. Raspberry Pi III is a portable device which has a selfcontained miniaturized computer that can be used to perform some
tasks such as penetration and vulnerability assessments to identify
and scan the networks by using some build-in pentesting tools. This
research paper discussed the benefits of using such smart device in
performing penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
