- Set up your SSH key
- Log into your Pi with Root
- Set up Tor
Follow these steps to create your SSH key:
Once you start up your Raspberry Pi and find its local IP address, you can connect to it from your computer using your Terminal. Windows users should use Git Bash.
Run the following:
ssh pi@[local IP address]
When you connect through SSH for the first time, you will be prompted to accept the RSA key fingerprint, type “yes” to continue. The Pi user's default password is "raspberry". You should see something like this:
$ ssh [email protected]
The authenticity of host '10.0.0.32 (10.0.0.32)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:BzmwLK14V/EVa0m/0/SYFtGM/60zm7mFe5vVCWAxqe4.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '10.0.0.32' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa':

SSH is enabled and the default password for the 'pi' user has not been changed.
This is a security risk - please login as the 'pi' user and type 'passwd' to set a new password.
pi@treehouses:~ $ To add your SSH key to your Raspberry Pi, run: treehouses sshkey add "your SSH key" (copy-paste your SSH key in between the quotes).
To log into root, you can run sudo -s while logged into the Pi user, or SSH directly into it by running ssh root@[local IP address] instead of ssh pi@[local IP address].
To rename your Raspberry Pi, run treehouses rename "username" and replace username with your Github username.
Tor is a computer network run by volunteers worldwide. Each volunteer runs what is called a relay, which is just a computer that runs software allowing users to connect to the Internet via the Tor network.
Before hitting the open Internet, the Tor Browser will connect to several different relays, wiping its tracks each step of the way, making it difficult to figure out where, and who, you really are.
First start by watching this {video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6czcc1gZ7Ak) on the Tor browser Get Tor
The Systems Team utilizes this tool to provide a further layer of security when interacting with the Raspberry Pis deployed in the field.
You should already have Homebrew installed. You can check if it's already installed by running brew -v in your terminal. If you haven't yet installed it, run the following:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install wget
Then, install Tor and Tor Browser:
brew install tor
brew cask install tor-browser
Install Tor
To activate Tor, SSH into your Raspberry Pi with root, and run treehouses tor add 22, treehouses tor add 80, and treehouses tor notice on. To view the Tor address of your Pi, run treehouses tor, then copy-paste this address into your Tor Browser, to make sure it works; you should see a configuration page for Planet Learning, one of our other services.
