Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!
Due to unfortunate circumstances Seneca is switching online. During this week we continue to discuss and work on our projects. In this blog I would like to talk about my preparations for project.
For the tools, I chose to set up my Raspberry Pi 4 as my AArch64 machine and virtual machine for x86_64. For the project, my choice laid on John the Ripper password cracker. Since Fedora is still not available for AArch64, I decided to go with Manjaro operating system. I really liked to work with it, the UI is very user friendly and beautiful, in my opinion. For x86_64, I chose to work on my vistual machine with Ubuntu 64bit operating system installed.

For x86_64, I chose to work on my vistual machine with Ubuntu 64bit operating system installed.
Difficulties I encountered during my preparations stage:
- Installing dependencies on Manjaro. Sometimes it would be tricky to install some of the dependencies on Manjaro. The cause for this could be for example because dependencies had a different name, the different command should be used.
- Setting up Raspberry Pi 4. It was a little be tricky to set up my raspberry machine as I never did anything like that. First I had to put it all together. I followed the instructions and that was done. When I had to install operating system and set it up I encountered some difficulties with settings, especially with keyboard settings, but after some time I made it work too.
Conclusions
To summarize everything up, my preparations stage went easy, fast and worry-free. So far I like the tools I chose to work with, the project seems to be interesting. Working on optimization and improving portability is totally new and I feel is a great learning opportunity for me. I hope I can continue to practice it even after the end of the course.
