A variety of new projects for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts are available this weekend, including a remote server management tool and a network security device. One notable project is the PiKVM, which enables users to control their computers remotely, similar to enterprise-grade IPMI systems but accessible for consumer-grade setups. This system connects to the computer's video output and USB ports, allowing full remote functionality. Available for around $270 at Pi-Shop, it can be used with existing Raspberry Pi devices by adding a GPIO hat.
Additionally, the OpenCanary honeypot serves as a network security measure, designed to lure potential hackers by mimicking vulnerable servers. It operates by accepting login attempts on various ports, like port 22 for SSH, and alerts users when unauthorized access is attempted. This tool is particularly useful for monitoring and protecting home networks from intrusions.
