I always find these kind of tutorial very strange. On one hand, it is supposed to be addressed to people who would be able to make use of an offensive security portable linux install, but on the other hand, it is written for people who need to be reminded to change the default root password.
All from a Raspberry Pi. Why ?!

Because it's the sort of thing you can tape to the underside of a desk, or slip into a ceiling plenum without it getting noticed very quickly?
Surely a normal tablet or closed laptop will look far more inconspicuous just lying around an office.

This is a cool project if you have a Raspberry Pi you need to repurpose and/or tinker with. On the other hand, I'd also like to note that you can get Kali Linux running on a Nexus 5 or a Nexus 7, which in my opinion is a much sleeker hacking device and probably less work to setup: https://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/ EDIT: Been about a year since I last looked at that page. It looks like nearly the entire Nexus…
Also, an RPi is probably noticeably less powerful than a Nexus 7 which is quad-core.
900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU
1GB Ram

I am both tempted to show this link to him and also thinking he doesn't need to get his hands on something so portable. As smart and interested as he is, he's also only 16 and has some immature tendencies still.
It's a real challenge for me and I'm going to have to think it over.
Maybe show it to him, build it with him and use this as another opportunity to talk about ethics.
Could we please NOT shorten Raspberry Pi to RasPi? It breaks searches and looks childish. You wouldn't short Hacker News to HacNe, so don't shorten Raspberry Pi

They namedropped the Pi in Mr. Robot, which might make it interesting to some newcomers to the, erm, "penetration testing" scene.
